It was the first time weve eaten out since March. We felt safe. Welcomed. And comfortable. The food was lovely. The only things were that the young gentleman didnt explain when we entered if we needed to use the table service app or not and he forgot our drinks which were quickly sorted once we said. We will happily be back again though!.

Very good food beautifully presented. A wide selection of beverages/drinks.
A lovely relaxing atmosphere with friendly attentive hosts. Only a minor negative… the music was a little to loud and not to my taste but it certainly wouldn’t put me off visiting again.

Always a great experience, the chips are amazing, nice atmosphere, lots of choice for food and drink.
Service can be a little slow sometimes but it's a small place with a small number of staff and usually a full cafe, so it's worth the short delay.
The staff are friendly and welcoming. This is now my go to every weekend.

Our 1st time visiting. The cafe is lovely. The only criticism of the food was that the soup was far too thick (carrot and coriander) it was more like a paste. Our drink order arrived incorrect (a regular latte instead of a raspberry lemonade) it was resolved but I was still charged for a large latte when the bill came.
Overall pleasant experience and we will return

Overall it was a good experience, everywhere was very clean. Our table did feel like it had been added as an after thought. Food was very good, though the coffee was a bit too bitter for me. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming despite being very busy and we felt well looked after.
