Dog friendly, lovely breakfasts, really friendly will let you swap what you don’t like for something else (swap my black pudding for hash brown) and they bring the dog treats! Lots of newspapers on a Sunday morning. Very cosy. Not really a takeaway more of a restaurant. Has a cocktail bar upstairs for evenings too. One of few places that actually sells my favourite Pina Colada
