Came back here for another meal, and the food did not disappoint as usual! Every dish was absolutely spot on, and the flavors were just as amazing as the first time. This place remains our absolute go-to.

Very enjoyable lunch, but sadly we had to.leave early due to extremely hot weather and nursery and restaurant were closing at 2.30

We had an outstanding Father’s Day meal. The carrots, potatoes, gravy, and cauliflower cheese were all exceptional. The roast beef and roast chicken were absolutely divine. Overall, it was the best meal we’ve had there to date. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavour. It was excellent value for money and well worth it

We really like the atmosphere, relaxed and enjoyable, with music usually playing in the background. The staff treat us very well, they are efficient yet friendly and helpful. We have found the food to be very good. We go to this cafe fairly regularly.

Overall a very positive experience. The waiting staff were great, I was with two of my grandsons both under 4. They engaged with them and were kind during moments of silliness. I was disappointed with the lack of children’s cutlery and a menu specifically for children

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast on Fathers Day and, despite a busy session, the service was excellent. Good atmosphere and friendly staff throughout.

Went for breakfast, staff were not very welcoming. No smiles or chit chat. The whole place lacked any atmosphere. The breakfast dishes had risen in price and got smaller in portion sizes, so now quite expensive for what you get. I will not be rushing back.

Eaten a couple of times here, food and service has always been top notch - cakes are lush! Lovely place and they seem to have a great balance of garden space, homeware/general items and eating. Lovely place and love visiting.
