    We enjoyed our lunch today, which was from the 2 for 1 lunch menu. Food was very tasty and the coffee was also really good. Overall service and surroundings were cosy and comfortable with very friendly efficient staff. The large car park is free and its a handy location if visiting the Etches Collection Museum.

    The staff were very attentive, food came to the table quickly and was beautifully presented and cooked perfectly. Plenty of vegetables. Desert was another excellently presented feast which tasted divine.

    Lovely location. Lovely service. The food & wine was very nice but rather overpriced. We will return but for coffee & cakes.

    Through the country lanes with breathtaking views we find this hidden gem. Dog friendly with their own menu, and a wide choice of food for us. Staff were so friendly and the service was brilliant. Posh fish finger sandwich with chips was amazing. Definitely must visit.
