The place span me back to my wild teenage years of mods, punks, bikers and late night rambles along the (A5) Watling Street's Cafe culture.
Sited on the town's main drag, Salisbury Street, just down from it's only supermarket and the Bus station. You know this place is cool by the huge brass scimitar sword front door handle which leads into the 1950's Formica and red fake leather booths. Chrome abounds and the room doubles up inside like the Tardis, by it's mirrored walls. The place was full of local people, squadies, van drivers and their mates. I had a vegetarian breakfast with toast for £3.50 and loved every bit of it.
The cafe opens Mon to Sat 07:30 am till 16:30 pm and get this, Sunday (yes the LORDS DAY), 10:00 am till 16:30 pm
Rating 5/5 for good quality food, friendly staff, memorable 50's surroundings

Great for an enormous, greasy fry-up if you've got a hangover. You can make the brekky as big as you want. Posted by The Eternal
