* Celebrating 20 Years
Our year is to be a year of celebration. We want to go forward and say thank you at the same time. From today every 20th customer will recieve a complimentary tea or coffee on us with a sweet treat of their choice. Enjoy a slice of Victoria Sponge or our New Irish Coffee Carageen Mousse or any of our Homemade Deserts with our compliments. This treat will run every day this year. The opening day was 20th July 1991 so that will be a special day this year 20 years on.
