"My granddaughter took me to Cath & Mike's for Breakfast... I was very nervous. As I do not eat out very often, as I am severely allergic to certain foods... I informed Mike of this when he was taking our order... He explained how they would cook & prepare my cooked breakfast for me... No other cafe, restaurant had ever done that before... The food was lovely. The staff & the atmosphere is very friendly & nothing was to much trouble. I would definitely recommend Cath & Mike's to everybody. It was the 1st time in over 25 years that i didnt have start to worry about about my meal I had enjoy for"

"Lovely local café - obviously popular with locals but just as welcoming to first timers. Staff are very friendly: Gary gives everyone a warm welcome but isn't good at personal space and was slightly too interested in my food for my comfort. (Should I clarify that Gary is a dog? Probably! )"
