An amazing Gem on the motorways. Put it this way if you don't stop you are losing out. All the classics available are coke floats pancakes and yes banana boats. Their milkshakes are awesomeness and you get what is left in the tin. So stop and enjoy.

Very nice, had the pancakes and syrup with banana. Very simple but very delicious. My partner had a club sandwich and said it was lovely. They had a high chair for the little one and provided crayons and a menu that he could draw on. Always good to have a distraction while waiting for food

Visited this place on the way down to York for a weekend Holiday. Was really surprised to see a classic American 1950's style diner like this on the A1 as I was looking for a place to have lunch. Had an all day breakfast with a soft drink. The prices are roughly what you'd pay at a cafe. But it was good. Really enjoyed it and look forward to visiting again on my next adventure. Would recomend for those of you classic American car and motorcycle enthusiasts who love the American cultural stuff like classic diners. Especially if you're a fan of retro and vintage stuff.

Called in for a quick drink..and to use 'the facilities' (customers only). Despite being in need of a refurb, the diner was spotlessly clean and tidy, the service was cheerful and quick, and I genuinely regretted having already had breakfast, as the grill smelt great, nice fresh bacon smell. Facilities spotless. I've passed by whilst travelling on the A19 dozens of times, next time I'll make sure I schedule a breakfast stop, to check the breakfasts live up to expectation!
