We went down to the Risborough Cafe again this morning. Opens nice and early too. By far the best breakfast anywhere locally. The Del Boy is Cushty! Excellent local ingredients, great service, and sensible prices. Please try it, and support a new local business. By the folk who bring you Princes Fish & Chips - you know it makes sense Rodders!
