Wow … we had afternoon tea for four and it was ‘out of this world’ which consisted of 4 mini pots of hot soup, 4 half’s of cheese and onion hot jacket potatoes, 4 mini hot steak pies, salad, 16 sandwiches, 16 mini cakes and 8 mini scones with clotted cream and Jam and of course tea and coffee. This is without doubt the best value afternoon tea we’ve ever had. The value and quality of the food is outstanding. Will recommend and definitely be returning. Thank you to the excellent staff who are very friendly and for making both our mothers birthday treat so special.

We go regularly for coffee and something to eat and have always been very pleased with the quality of service, food and cleanliness of the cafe. The menu has options for people who may have dietary restrictions and also vegetarian/vegan options are available. There is plenty of space between tables that aids access for wheelchair users and is child friendly with a children's menu. There is also ample parking available either by the cafe or across the road in a free car park.
