Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the garden behind the cafe, where diners eat outside and one enjoyed watching the birds. Several describe the homely interior as feeling like eating at someone's home. Close behind is food cooked to order, with the ploughman's, topped bagel, bean chilli and jacket potato all named. Others praise the scones, a plentiful range of teas and freshly brewed coffees. The owners and staff are called lovely and friendly, and reasonable prices come up repeatedly. Complaints are few but specific. One reviewer found the fried eggs poor, with one burst and the other overcooked. Another felt the ploughman's needed extras such as a pickled egg and more salad. One family of six describes staff pushing tables together so the whole group could eat side by side.
