Customer Review Summary
Homemade soup and sandwiches draw the most mentions, from a leek and potato soup and a coronation chicken sandwich called superb to a small soup paired with a roast beef and spicy salad sandwich. Close behind are the cake selection and the friendly, welcoming staff, with reviewers describing a bright, well decorated interior and the feel of an old style village cafe. Cost is the most common complaint. One reviewer calls it not cheap, another found the toastie and wrap very overpriced, with burnt cheese stuck to the outside of the toastie and poor presentation, and a third joked about needing a mortgage for a roll and sausage. One found the leek and potato soup too salty, and one says the glowing reviews do not reflect reality and that the village needs a more modern cafe. One visitor was allowed to bring a small, well behaved dog inside. A regular says they always book a table, and the kitchen makes smaller portions for a 92 year old friend with a small appetite.

“Wouldn't rate it. Had toastie and wrap. Presentation not good. Toastie had burnt cheese stuck to outside of bread. Very over priced. Staff were nice.”
- Cameron Huntington
“UPDATE: I paid off the mortgage! :D Not a bad place but a having to take out a mortgage just to afford a roll n sauasge is a bit far”
- Simon Williams
“We had a lovely lunch of soup and sandwich. The soup, leek and potato, was homemade and good but to my palate was too salty. The coronation chicken sandwich was superb. Lovely service and atmosphere. Not cheap but will be back.”
