Bicester can easily be located since it’s by the road. And if you feel that your morning is incomplete without coffee, oh boy, do I have a treat for you. Add only a small fee and they will serve unlimited coffee with your meal which certainly wouldn’t even break the bank! My first impression would be, the serving is reaaaallly huge - bigger than my face 😱 and that’s not all! Their chicken and waffle is extremely good 😋 chicken cooked well with the waffle perfectly crisped. gotta try this! #TroverFoodies #ginnysjournal #Cebuseries #unlimitedcoffee
