With a friendly vibe unrivalled in the area, it'd be rude not to pop in.

    Found this little gem and would recommend food and service very good and you get loads! Was nice to get a pre starter but wish we'd known it was coming as wouldn't have ordered starters and big portions but delicious. Also allow time for your meal and gaps in between courses quite long and we had to rush back for our parking but overall will be returning

    The venue is beautiful and a calm setting with great views. The food was on the whole was ample and a good selection. The sandwiches were a little dry on both sides and although there was a great selection of cakes, there were three of us and sometimes only 1 or 2 of the mini cakes on offer. Everything else had three eg three sandwiches, three scones Every all it was a great experience and value for money.
