    Week day mornings

    Great food

    Our food was brilliant. The restaurant was quite busy when we attended for breakfast, so we can understand why it took quite a while to get our order. The waiter somehow managed to get our order wrong twice, and when I went to pay, I...More

    So good we came back. Had a quick visit yesterday and only had time for a coffee and a bagel. The setting and atmosphere and a very enticing menu brought us back. Well done

    Perfectly excellent as Hayes Common can be. Crowded interior but well organised. Fourteen of us turned up on a hideous winter's night and the Owner and staff arranged us along one table with ease. Food sensational. Beautifully presented Great ambiance. Staff excellent. Excellent value $800...More
