I visited Lockandbrew for a breakfast at the weekend with friends. The staff are friendly, we didn't have to wait for a table. The place was spotless, including the toilets. I asked for a 5 egg omelette made of 2 whole and 3 egg whites with spinach, onion, and peppers and it was no problem at all. I recommend eating here if you are training and want to eat out as a treat and still be on plan. I will definitely return.

We came here for breakfast and it was pretty good. The coffee was good and the breakfast was good too. Service was pretty fast. Didn't try the pizzas or the drinks but we were happy with our meals.

Can't fault this place. 6 of us dined here today around 3pm and zero complaints. All 6 meals were beautiful, tea and coffee also lovely (i would ask for extra hot coffee next time personally) Staff and atmosphere also fantastic! Will definitely be back!

Beautiful lunch there a few days ago, the food is fantastic and great portions size. Very busy while we were there but all of the staff were brilliant. Nicest place around for lunch.

First time here, definitely won't be the last. Professional, busy atmosphere. Very clean premises. Staff very friendly and effective. Had the cheese & ham toasties which was absolutely delicious. The cappuccino was beautiful & just right. Friend had the pancakes, which she loved. Definitely will be back again. 5 stars all the way.

4 of us enjoyed breakfast here. No-one was disappointed with anything. Our meal was substantial and tasted great. White pudding was delicious and I would love to know where they get it as we visit family in the area a few times a year. It would be nice to take some home to England to enjoy. Personally I would have liked more chili in the chili avocado on toast but that's likely down to my personal taste Vs what others enjoy but it still tasted good and the avocado was perfectly ripe.
