  “Great variety of cakes and teas, coffees and soft drinks. Pretty garden area with seating. Wheelchair friendly entrance. I haven't used the washrooms but expect they're great. The coffees were a little pricey, and they don't add in a small biscuit or chocolate to make you feel better. Haven't eaten in the restaurant. It's got plenty of parking and wasn't crowded on a Tuesday at 11am”

  “Nice place for a spot of brunch. Coffee was reasonable though could be better considering the price (a flat white is £4.80). Food was tasty however there is no kids menu. (Most) staff were very friendly / pleasant. We would return but only if passing.”

  “Unfortunately, the value for money wasn’t great, and we left feeling quite disappointed. We travelled around 45 minutes to visit and expected a much better lunch experience. Given the quality of the pizza oven, we had high expectations for the pizzas, but they were below average, particularly the dough. The pizzas were small, lacked flavour, and weren’t presented particularly well. At £22 each, we expected much more. It may be worth taking some inspiration from Mono Pizza in Basingstoke, whose bases are consistently excellent. The sea bass was also disappointing from a value perspective. At £32, receiving just a single fillet and a handful of new potatoes, it felt very steep and difficult to justify. On a positive note, the setting is beautiful and the service was fantastic throughout our visit. It’s just a shame that the food didn’t meet the same high standards. Based on this experience, we wouldn’t be inclined to return and wouldn’t recommend it to others.”

  “Amazing service, a fantastic burger, and a great atmosphere from start to finish. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, and they went out of their way to make our 1-year-old feel comfortable and included. Everyone was genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!”

  “I visited the cafe on this visit, and the quality is obvious from the second you turn off the road into the drive up to the car park. Set in lovely grounds and gardens, it's quiet location is restful and relaxing, the service is equally calm and nicely paced. The flat white was wonderful, and the cookie was about an inch thick, crunchy, soft, chocolatey and delicious.”

  “Beautiful setting, fast service, and absolutely nothing else to recommend. We paid close to £100 for one of the worst lunches I can remember. A £5 tea arrived as hot water with a faint brown tint. The pizza was £22, tiny, undercooked, and completely flavourless. The salad was so drenched in vinegar it was inedible. The outdoor garden is genuinely stunning, which makes it all the more baffling that if you sit outside you are handed a separate "outdoor menu" consisting of just three pizzas. No starters, no burgers, no explanation. When you are charging London restaurant prices, restricting paying customers to a stripped-back menu with zero justification is simply not acceptable. The staff were efficient but cold throughout. Not a smile, not a check-in, not an apology when the food was poor. This place has invested heavily in how it looks and almost nothing in what it serves. Save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about the food on the plate.”

  “Lovely spot for a coffee and a relaxed catch up. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and the team are attentive and genuinely friendly. I've been here on a few different occasions for various functions and it's consistently been a great experience. The setting has a really nice feel to it. I haven't yet done the guided garden tour, but I've heard very good things and I'm definitely looking forward to visiting the gardens when the weather improves. Always a pleasure coming back”

  “Surly unhelpful service. We arrived at 10.50am. We were told to take a table at the rear. No one told us I had to go to the counter to order. The waitress was completely to blame. At the counter it was 11.03am when I ordered & the miserable woman stated no food orders after 11am. 3 minutes late & they refused to serve a yogurt! Outrageous as it was their error. Staff training urgently required including manners!!”

  “My second visit today. Such a fabulous find. Food is beautifully cooked, very tasty, very fresh and … very plentiful! Staff are relaxed but incredibly good. Kitchen team look calmly in control - always reassuring. The aesthetics of the venue are fabulous giving the whole place a smart up market but comfortable warm relaxed feel. We will definitely be back.”

  “Fantastic place for brunch, a coffee meeting, lunch or just a cake and nibbles. The food is fantastic tasting, great quality and size. The service team met us with beaming smiles, feom start to finish all we're very helpful and friendly and explained any nutritional points that were asked by customers. The inner space was packed out which I take as a good sign to an establishment. Great decor and layout to the venue, with additional parking g just round the corner near the barns. Not clearly posted but visible enough to make a comment sense decision. Beautifully done gardens and outdoor seating. It was a tad nippy that day but there is plenty of baskets with blankets situated about for ease. A popular place as shown buy amount of customers and people sat in the windows working away on laptops. A great place to visit, and 1 to go back to, to experience the formal dining side of things”
