Stopped off for coffees n cakes with a friend. The service was fast and staff friendly. Impressive selection of beautifully made home bakes which were totally delicious. Would recommend
I’ve ate in Franco’s, but also had many deliveries of afternoon teas and cheesecakes. The service is always impeccable and the food is amazing! If you haven’t tried Franco’s cheesecakes then where have you been? Highly recommend. Loved by my whole family!
We enjoyed pizza night, so delicious. Staff so friendly and helpful. Look forward to returning
Superb. Went here for lunch with family as we are up visiting from Devon. We chose here because of the excellent reviews. We weren't disappointed! The staff were lovely and friendly. The food was amazing! So tasty, healthy size portions and well presented. The cheesecake desserts were big enough to share and so delicious. Lots to choose from. And to top it off the bill was pleasantly surprising. Definately recommend going here. But may be worth booking a table. A fantastic find!
Lovely place with delicious food that looks and tastes like home made. The Mac and cheese was also delicious. Prices were good too and staff very friendly. Service was s bit slow at the beginning. Cakes looked yummy but we were too full to try.
Stopped for a quick lunch, staff friendly, it's very busy with locals so that's a good sign. Good was good. Milkshake was huge, nice.
Ordered 2 afternoon tea boxes for elderly relatives. They were absolutely delighted with the quality & contents. Each box was enough for 2 people. Would highly recommend
Excellent food and service, as always. I make sure to tell people to try and book, it's very popular, especially on weekends. Best cheesecake for miles
