Good size all day breakfast, well cooked. Would have liked the option to have black pudding, and also there is no indication on the menu that they only serve Lincolnshire sausages.

This place is not what I expected in the best way. Take your own alcohol, with no corkage and amazing Chinese food. We shared the mixed starter, which was delicious. Especially the smoked chicken and the prawn toast. Then I had the vermicelli Singapore style. Lovely spice level, huge prawns and a generous portion. Can't believe I've not been here before, but will definitely be back. Alice and her family are very welcoming and have a great little place.

Alice, her hubby and their daughter Josie are a superb team. We love the quality and freshness of the food (especially the chow mein and dumplings too!), and the personal touch whether it’s a takeaway or we eat in, which we have regularly got years.

Popped in on Thursday around 2pm my other half had chips and a cappuccino I had coke cheese omelette and chips. Service was excellent a huge change from some places .Staff are brilliant Toilet was spotless. We enjoyed our meal didn't take long and was piping hot.This cheese omelette was the best I've had for years since the old days of the Golden Egg chain of restaurants. The cheese used was quality omelette was light and fluffy with the cheese in the middle melted correctly . We will be back Whuttlesey has a true jewel here andbits so pleasant to feel you are valued as a customer what's not to like
