    Whilst the food was very good the service was very slow, sitting at table 10-15 mins before we were seen to, girl had no idea what the soup of the week was, food came out reasonably timely but drinks were at least 5 mins after food was received, we would have had another drink if the service was faster, will give it another try

    Food and service were great - variety of meal options- only negative was we were kicked off our booked table after 1 hour and moved to another - seemed odd and we weren’t the only people it happened to.

    Food was really nice, presented well. Service a bit disappointing. I added a note tp booking we required space for a wheelchair and to remove chair before we get there. I also emailed restaurant this info as well. Unfortunately we were put need the door, not a great spot for a wheelchair on close day plus chair wasn't removed. Staff good at start but after Mains they never come back to check if want anything further. I had to request staff to come over to remove plate and to place coffee order. They had plenty of staff on so that wasn't the issue. Attention to detail not quite there unfortunately.

    The location is fabulous, service was excellent and although the cafe has a good menu I feel it needs to offer a range of smaller meals like focaccias etc
