Great roadside cafe I stopped off here on my way to pick up my dad from Gatwick. I was early and had seen this place before but had never stopped. There was plenty of parking in the lay-by. This place has a steady flow of customers, and I'm not surprised now that I've been here. You certainly get great value for your money. For breakfast rolls, you're offered a choice of soft, crusty, or French rolls. I ordered a sausage and egg roll with a cup of tea. I hadn't realized, but the roll had three sausages and two eggs inside! It was too much for me, but I'm quite sure the workmen who were queuing up enjoy their morning rolls. After paying, you're also given a complimentary KitKat! It's well worth a visit if you're hungry.
