Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the breakfast, with one former chef calling the full English the best in years and others praising the quality ingredients and the traditional breakfast. Close behind are the lunches, where diners name a homemade lasagne among the daily specials, and a freshly cooked sausage cob with good quality sausages and options for a veggie friend. Sunday lunches are called superb, and one reviewer says they need booking because they are popular. Several describe festive meals, including a three course Christmas dinner served piping hot and a lunch beside the wood burning fire, and one group says the cafe opened specially for their awards evening. The park setting, friendly service and good value come up repeatedly, and one visitor stopped in for coffee and cake to take on a walk. The one negative comes from a pregnant visitor who reports being refused use of the locked outdoor toilets by a rude employee, until a shopkeeper nearby helped.

“Ain’t gonna be going back! The toilets outside were locked and I tried to use the toilet as a pregnant woman but got refused, the employee was rude and disrespectful and if it wasn’t for a kind shop keeper I would have wet myself so I won’t be going back”

“Absolutely fantastic service and food. After 20+ years as a Chef and a frequent visitor to hotels and cafes I can honestly say this was the best full English I’ve had in years. All fresh, great service and good value for money.”

“Lovely freshly cooked sausage cob. Plenty of options for our veggie friend too. Easy parking and friendly service. The sausages were very good quality and was reasonably priced”
