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!

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.
