Love this place I was coming here for over 7 years before going to Canada since Gary and Marie took over it is the best place in the anfield area value for money. I have just come back to Liverpool after 2 years away and it still the best place to eat. 5 start hygiene rating. Pat and Marie who work on Sunday Monday Tuesday are the best and will look after you

Lovely ambient, traditional full English breakfast that is delicious, brought to you with a smile and care. When we entered the Scranary, it felt like we moved back in time in a positive way. No rush, no nonsense, just greate service and food.

Was my local cafe in my 7 years in Liverpool. Once Marie and Gary took it over it got even better. Marie and Pat will make sure you get your money worth and Sunday roast is to die for really miss the place since I left. Now I'm back in Liverpool area I can't get enough
