Great service this morning from staff. Really nice sandwiches and freshly made salads. Loads of choice! Way nicer than the ready made stuff from the shops and better value for money too!

Lovely for a quick lunch. Portions are always very generous, given the price. Reminds me of old-school sandwich shops/cafes of times past. Only wish they had seating, would be nice to be able to grab a quick sandwich whilst shopping however, the lack of seating doesn’t really make that possible- much less so in colder months.

Friendly people, up bright and early readying great tasty food for the hungry masses :-) Their sausage rolls are just the thing to perk you up on cold damp mornings. 06:30 starts - that's eagerness for you.

Might not look much on the outside, the food was actually really nice and the portions were definitely not going to leave you hungry. We went as a family and everyone ate all of their food happily. One asked for roast and loved all of it. We wasn't waiting too long and we will certainly be back again

Been in a few times, appreciated how the staff just take your order and get on with it, no hovering around you looking for some kind of pat on the back. I think the biggest sign that this cafe is darn good is by the customers plates being emptied. Thank you all for your service. (Big guy, loud shirts. lol)

Used rumblings to cater for my dad's wake. Found Phil really helpful and understanding. The food that we got was absolutely brilliant although it was a tough time great value for money sandwiches had a proper amount of filling and really tasty too. Did stop in the cafe and had a breakfast which was good also. So thank you Phil and team for taking some stress out of a stressful day highly recommend
