"This restaurant is located on the edge of a large Commercial and Trading Estate and it is there primarily to serve the local employees. It is only open at lunch times Monday to Friday but can be booked for groups weddings etc in the evening and at weekends. It can cater for about 75 covers. Do not be put off by its rather bland looking exterior, park up and go in!The Menu de Jour is currently (January 2017) 12.90€ and comprises a serve-yourself buffet starter with a good selection of cold meats salads etc, a choice of three main courses and a selection of three or more desserts with a variety of ice creams also available. Wine is not included as it is in some French restaurants’ Menu de Jour but bread is. We visited on a Friday arriving at about 1245pm and there were only few tables available. Service was friendly and efficient. One of the main courses was not available due to it having been popular. I chose Chicken and Chips and my wife had Pave de Boeuf served with a broccoli and potato accompaniment. Both were well cooked, tasty and good sized portions. My first dessert choice had sold out and I selected Riz au Lait du maison which was good served with a caramel sauce and my wife had her choice of ice cream. As I have said the restaurant caters for the workers from the adjoining estate and the clientele, when we were there, was about 80% male but the atmosphere was fine and in true French style we were greeted by other diners on neighbouring tables. Some of the seating – the bench seats along one wall - need recovering and the toilets, although reasonably well presented, were showing signs of heavy usage by 1400hrs.After we arrived only another two diners came,.. so it would appear that there is a rush from just before 1200hrs, and after about 1300hrs it virtually stops and combining that with the fact that a couple of items were not available my advice is to get there earlier than we did.This is a no frills restaurant that does exactly what it sets out to, that is to provide good food at a very reasonable price. We will be going back when we are next in the area at lunchtime."
