Booked in a Premier Inn on business only to find restaurant closed all week! Searched for local restaurants and came across Fill's Cafe which had good reviews. Thought I would give it a go. Glad I did. Staff friendly and food was tasty, good portions too. Will go back when next down this way on business - food much better quality and quantity than at the hotel. :)

Went in the cafe on Wednesday and the nice lad at the bar was super helpful helped me with choosing the menu and made me a very good and strong coffee. The server also delivered the food with a smile and told me to enjoy the rest of my day this is the type of service I'd expect in a restaurant but fills is a whole different level. Will be returning in the Christmas period keep up the good work guys.

Definitely the best burgers in town by a long shot. The rest of the menu is great as well. A really nice place to eat in and they also have a very smooth delivery service, always delivered in good time and piping hot! And now they have beer and wine. A valuable asset to our town!

Recommended by a friend and what a hell of a recommendation that was! By far the best pizza in the area, just wow! Well done

Don't be fooled by the location of this place. Tucked away down a side road of an industrial estate, this place is a secret little hidden gem. We stumbled across this place by chance, simply searching on Google for restaurants near by as we were visiting a premises on the estate. Service was very friendly. The food choice was good and prepared to a high standard of quality and taste! If you're in the area and looking for some food, don't be put off by the location of this cafe.
