This is a wonderful place to have lunch or just cake and coffee. The comfortable surrounding with unusual antiques dotted around make for an interesting backdrop to wonderful food. The cakes are fresh and delicious, accompanied by fresh beverages. We enjoyed a sandwich and toasted sandwich lunch which came beautiful presented and very tasty. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We can't wait to return again soon.
We stopped on our journey, never having been before. We were pleasantly surprised, the staff were friendly and polite, we ordered sandwiches and hot drinks which were served to table. The sandwiches were freshly made, with a salad & crisps and importantly tasty. Drinks were hot, cups, plates, & cutlery were all clean. We all enjoyed our stop and if passing that way, we will call again. Would recommend.
Midweek lunch. A large Yorkshire pudding with 2 sausages and onion gravy. Delicious. Service pleasant and quick.
Nice place spacious friendly staff and good food.
