“ Perfect place for a birthday cream tea for our family group. Lovely fresh scones. Big pots of tea. Good vegan cake. They were kind enough to stay open late when a couple of us got held up in traffic. ”

“ What a lovely little place. Friendly staff and amazing food. Good prices and fast service. Staff are so warm and welcoming and was with my friend and her two little ones and they made the kids feel comfortable and welcome and made them smile. Also made up the kids lunches into little boxes for them. So glad we stumbled on this place on our holidays. Thank you so much. ”
