Hard to find, but we'll worth a visit. Had breakfast with my father. I had eggs Royale and my father, a small English. All beautifully cooked. The flat white coffee was great aswell. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend a visit.

Loved the breakfast here. A properly cooked full english with tasty products. The feel and look ofnthis place is great. Seems a little expensive at first, but that fear was eroded once i saw the value for money that was delivered all ends. Well done and I hope to see you again soon

A friend and me went to the bottomless brunch. Everything was excellent. The staff serving were friendly and quick with refills. The cocktails were really tasty, I was very impressed with the quality of mixers. The food, amazing, my friend had a burger and chips, it was huge. I have dietary requirements and it was no bother at all for alterations to be made to the jambalaya, the portion was huge and it was really tasty. I've done a few bottomless brunches over the years and this was by far the best. Highly recommend and I'm planning to go back asap!

Ok. So I'm glad I found this little place. So let's start with service, pretty quick and very polite, the black coffee is quite smooth, not really that bitter, I felt the skinny cappuccino was not that great, maybe it's me I don't know. The scone was excellent not dry, nice sweet but rich flavour and not dry, not overly sweet which I liked. The strawberry jam tasted of quite a high quality, nice strawberry notes, nice and fresh and not overly sweet like cheap strawberry jam. The only thing I would probably change is the butter for it, try and get something locally sourced but that might be me just being picky, overall a nice place to relax.

What a great little place this is. Eggs Benedict is my absolute breakfast and everywhere else I have been the portions have been tiny. Not at Mauds. A huge portion. Reasonably priced and great service with local produce. We will be back.

Service did take a minute or two but the staff were lovely and apologised, we only nipped in for some coffee and we wasn’t disappointed, lovely atmosphere, a good place for a catch up.
