Was good , ordered a BEST (bacon egg sausage and tomato) , came fast and furious but quality was tip top and the price was down to earth too, so would recommend. Hearty place for some hearty grub and scran. Get yourself down to Saints and Sinners it's home cooked food. In fact I remember the boss lady telling a story to her co worker whilst having my sandwich. It drew me in. Was like Jackanory. Nearly put me to sleep. Bonus with my BEST great experience. 5*****.

This is my treat before 90 minutes of watching my team near chances or disappointment. The food is always hot and filling always going for a small portion. I've tried the mince n dumplings, pepper chicken, chips, curry sauce. I am sure I've tried more food dishes all very good. Staff all very friendly and helpful makes it a great place all these things.

Always loved this place. Its classic home cooked food, nothing fancy. They do proper home cooked chips which you struggle to get anywhere these days. The portion sizes are typical pretty big, so it's perfect if you've got a decent appetite. The staff have been friendly and chatty every time I've been in. I'd recommend this place, especially if you haven't tried it before and live locally.

I got a breakfast bun, I am a happy man. All of the food looked delicious on display and I will be making repeat visits to this little marvel. Parking is a nightmare plan ahead.

Had a full breakfast today, it was very tasty and reasonably priced. I will definitely go again. The sausages could maybe be better quality but overall very nice.
