We went for lunch for my mum birthday.
It was very busy but luckily we had booked ahead - definitely recommend this.
The food was yum and fresh.
Service was lovely.
Once we finished the kids went to feed the ducks then we wandered through the nursery and store.
Such a beautiful place.
Definitely will go back!

I had a lovely lunch with my daughter, the food was delivered promptly and very good coffee.
The inimitable Craig, our server was courteous, friendly which was much appreciated.
The only criticism is the time limit, ok for a table of two or four, not long enough for larger groups as I have experienced in past visits with a table of 8.
I recommend Rivers Cafe and Foodstore.
