Many customers have left glowing remarks about their visits. Beverley Hurren describes The Fly-By Cafe as “lovely” and appreciates the generous portion sizes at reasonable prices, while Kim Hewlett shares her experience of enjoying a delicious breakfast, complimented by the attentiveness of the staff.
