British cafe in [[Locale Swanley|Swanley]].

It's a step up from a greasy spoon, without being expensive or pretentious.  The walls are plain white, but decorated with relief mouldings themed around coffee and vintage transport.  Black formica-topped tables are flanked by freestanding red-painted wooden chairs, and padded banquettes run along the walls.  The ordering system (order and pay at the counter) is clearly indicated on the menu.

[[Kake]] and Toby visited on a Friday lunchtime in August 2017.  There were quite a few people in when we arrived around 12:15pm, though still a couple of tables free.

Poached eggs on toast (&pound;2.80) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/35729560714/ photo]</small> were simple but good.  The eggs were poached just right, with runny yolks and just-set whites.  The bread was good too, nothing fancy, but proper wholemeal evenly spread with butter.

A toasted sandwich with ham and cheese (&pound;2.80) was also good, with good-quality ham and cheese, and they were happy to omit the onion which is usually included.

A cup of tea (95p) was a generous size and brewed weak as requested.  Service was friendly, and our food came relatively quickly.

[[Kake]]'s verdict: I'd definitely come back if I was in the area and wanted a quick and well-priced lunch or breakfast.

Child-friendliness: They were friendly and welcoming to Toby (who is 5).  They have a small children's menu consisting of things with chips (nothing vegetarian).

Accessibility: A step to get in.  Once you're in, there are no more steps, including to the toilet (a single unisex cubicle).
