Customer Review Summary
Lunch is the clear draw, with reviewers repeatedly praising friendly, efficient staff and dishes like French toast with streaky bacon, vegetable broth soup of the day, and a ploughman's lunch generous enough for two. The lemon meringue pie is singled out as home-made, and several mention a gift shop tucked in the back as an added draw. Diners describe the setting as cosy, with flowers and fairy lights, and note it gets busy at weekend lunchtimes, with one reviewer reporting a Saturday when latecomers were turned away and advising booking ahead. Repeat visitors describe returning for years, and several first-timers say they plan to come back to try the coffee and cakes next.

“Very busy Saturday lunchtime. Warmly greeted and got a table quickly. Other people arriving after us were turned away. Advisable to book a table in advance. Lovely sunny day in August. Parked nearby. Food was delicious. Lemon meringue pie was home-made. A lovely cafe to visit.”
- Molly Vannan
“We called in at lunchtime yesterday and were very lucky to get a seat. Lovely clean bright place with varied menu and friendly efficient staff. We had the French toast with streaky bacon, it was delicious. First time we’d been there, definitely hope to be back.”
