Hi there , if you want "the greasy spoon cafe" , then Ken is your man , they threw threw the mould away after they made this man! He caters "in his own way " to every customer he gets ! He deserves all the praise he can get , as far as I'm concerned, he even puts your Sugar in your tea and asks if it's to your liking ! This man is a long gone hero of life ! I wish him all the very best in life , he is a no- nonsense honest trying person , albeit not Mrs. Buckets cup of tea! All the best Ken.

Blue Star Cafe offers a casual dining atmosphere but has room for improvement. While the service is generally friendly, there are concerns about cleanliness, as the cafe appears not to be very well maintained. Additionally, the staff, who are older, may sometimes be less attentive to details. For example, when requested for paper towel, the response was unusually specific, with exactly five pieces provided. Despite these issues, the cafe’s location and overall menu may still appeal to some diners.

Been coming here for 42 years, and must say it’s been a pleasure to have been served by such a gentleman in Ken. I’m sorry to see this place close from Saturday 1st March, due to Ken’s illness. For anyone that doesn’t know, Ken is fighting Prostrate Cancer and he isn’t well at all. I wish Ken all the very best and think it’s fair to say all of his customers wish him the same. It’s the end of an era sadly
