Small cafe located within garden centre. Lots of parking. Chose to sit outside as a lovely warm day, and was very impressed with the level of service. Only had a snack, but would definitely recommend (great scones).
Visited the cafe for a cuppa and a snack. Greeted by lovely staff, friendly and professional, with a good menu ranging from snacks to meals. Sat in outside seating area on a glorious day, and service was prompt, courteous, with food being served quickly to all customers. Had to pinch myself at the keen prices, and the quality of service....highly recommended.
The service is friendly and helpful, and the range of food options is very good. Some of the desserts have been exceptional. Meals generally nice but occasionally disappointing - one measly piece of bacon on my egg mayo and bacon open sandwich yesterday, which seemed a bit mean for £11.50. Lunch for 3 was £75 plus tip. It's popular enough that we had to wait a while, and they could do with more chairs in the waiting area - someone kindly gave up their seat for my elderly father.
Came here for breakfast today and it was very enjoyable. No wait for a table, could sit straight down and food came out very quickly and was very good quality. Finished off with cake afterwards too which was also lovely. Staff very kind and polite, will definitely be visiting again.
Pleasant cafe with great food. I had a roast turkey dinner. Very good quality and served hot and with a smile.
