Called in at Slims for breakfast as we were camping nearby. Opted for the large fry and it was fantastic. The quality of the food was really good and the price was more than reasonable. Would have happily given Slims 5 stars but no customer toilet meant we had to jump on our bikes and nip up the road to the garage.

Lovely food and great value for money. I had my 2 year old grandson with me. Waitress was so helpful....nothing was too much trouble.

This is smallish cafe, quite unpretentious, but very popular. This is why, we paid, I think, £8:00p for 2 flat whites, and 2 slices of cake. We were served by a lovely, cheerful and very friendly lady. We couldn't ask for more. The place was busy when we arrived, and I soon understood the reason for that. The food, and the portion sizes coming out of yhe kitchen were remarkable! So if ever you are in the Sperrins direction, go there to eat.

Fantastic food at a reasonable price....fish&chips with garnish, chicken curry with rice and chips and 2 cokes all for £ 19. Warm service with a smile too. You won't beat that.
