Coffee's, Latte's, Cappuccinos, tea, Mocha etc are all petite in style and taste. You can get stuff like Caesars Salad, Baguettes, Toasties, Pasta, Ice-Creams etc. There is a nice take away bar with all kinds of confectionery to keep both you and the kids (if you have any) happy. There is/was a really cool 'chocolate fountain' in the shop also. It really is a place you would feel safe in when eating and it really is not overly priced (especially when the food is nice and comparing to some of the (excuse my french) 'Shit-holes' that have no class,standards but yet like to charge you a lot!

Including the toast with not enough butter and no condiments offered, nobody came over to ask if we needed anything in the half hour we were there. My eggs, pudding and bacon were stone cold, the server had handed them to me less than a minute earlier. Usually I like coming here. and the staff are awesome. This will be my last time dining with this business, it really annoyed me. What the hell was going on?

The waitress remembered my drink of choice from over a month before. Appetizers are good, if, maybe, a bit small. Mains are excellent! Pork Chop, Tortellini, Lentils. On one occasion, I asked for a dish not on the menu, and there was no problem with getting it done. Owners Paul & Pauline are friendly. Walls are lined with rock & roll photos, and there's a combo shop / museum upstairs. Feel free to browse. I've been to The Purple Onion four or five times, and it's always a pleasure. Everyone I've brought along has felt the same too.
