5 stars for being open till 2am! So relieved to have a cuppa when I was discharged from Emergency. Food is fresh and tasty but turning up 1 hour before it shuts means you'll have to have what's left. Lady serving was pleasant and didn't make you feel that she wanted to go home and you were pissing her off so give her a pay rise.
