The food is always amazing and serviced quickly but you should give people the menus as soon as they arrive. Always seek to be waiting for menus and it’s just too nosey it’s a fight for who can shout the loudest at times. Small room with high ceilings if you could sound proof it better that would be great! Service was excellent for food and drinks. Lovely couple of gentleman who were very engaging

We love coming here, the staff are always so accommodating. The only thing that would improve it for me is bigger tea pots! Tea pots vary in size from cafe to cafe, and the Damson ones are on the small size for my thirsty gullet

First visit, and what a lovely little place! Initially I was a little bit disappointed to see only 3 selections of cakes on offer (plus scones), but my goodness, what amazingly delicious cakes we chose! It may also have been because the breakfasts are the main choice at 9am, not cakes, haha! I opted for a lemon drizzle and my daughter had the carrot cake. Both were moist and tasty. The lemon was very strong (which I like) and the carrot cake was just perfect. We shared a luxury hot chocolate as we'd never manage one each with the cakes as well! It was lovely, although the chocolate was a bit "thick" tasting for me. Not a complaint at all, just a matter of personal taste. We saw the breakfast cobs (rolls/baps etc!) come out and they were huge and filled full of various items. We will definitely be back another time! Very clean including the toilets too. Well recommended, and make sure you book as it's a small place and gets very busy!

Lovely cob but little bacon and not many mushrooms in it, plus bacon cooked a bit too much shame, usually better. Maybe just a one off. Lovely place and lovely people

Lovely venue. Clean, staff very welcoming and reasonable selection of food choices (kitchens being refurbished at the moment so limited choices). Not a problem as we were warned of this issue before arrival.

The premises are spotlessly clean and the welcome is always warm and friendly. The food is freshly cooked, beautifully presented and delicious. Excellent coffee. Wide choice of drinks.

As always a fantastic breakfast with super friendly staff. Just one tiny thing, when I booked it asked if we were celebrating anything and I said GCSE results day, I’m not dilute what I expected, maybe a little chocolate or acknowledgment. Otherwise I’m not sure why it was asked in the booking form. But of course this won’t be stopping me returning, I love your restaurant and always recommend
