My husband and I went for lunch and we had a panni with a selection of fillings. We also had a latte. There was a good choice of food and drinks. The staff are friendly and efficient. There is parking at the door and a car park across the road. Would recommend.

Love this place. Very informal and they seemed to not always know what their doing. But that makes this place have it's charms. Always busy so there's not always a table ready. Great for kids with corner and very reasonable priced

Bless the souls of the people of this cafe, they’re so lovely. Hats off to the people who clean the place as it has always been spotlessly clean every time I’ve visited - including the bathrooms. Hats off to the cook(a) also - your baking and food are superb!! I have nothing to fault with this cafe and want to rate them more than 5 stars as they go beyond what I’ve experienced before. Really recommend a visit here!

Afternoon tea was brilliant. Lots of good things to eat including strawberry tarts and tasty quiches. Very good value for money. To get the full experience you need to book it ahead of time. Excellent food and great service. A must try!
