Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the homemade soups, with leek and potato and the daily specials frequently praised, while the coronation chicken sandwich and roast beef with spicy salad sandwich also earn repeat mentions. Several describe a welcoming atmosphere and friendly service, with many noting the dog-friendly policy and the option to sit outside with pets. A few highlight the coffee and cake selection as a draw for mid-morning visits. Complaints center on pricing, with multiple reviewers calling it overpriced, and one cites a burnt cheese toastie and poor presentation. One diner reports the soup as too salty. Several regulars appreciate the old-style village cafe feel and the willingness to adjust portion sizes for smaller appetites.

“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.”

- 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.”

Location
How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
