Customer Review Summary
Reviewers praise the setting, a converted chapel with a stunning interior and shaded outside seating, and describe friendly, accommodating staff. The Reuben grilled sandwich and the ploughman's are singled out, with a pakora and cauliflower cake taken away. One reviewer found the toastie overpriced, mostly hard, over-toasted bread with little cheese or apricot. Another notes staff fetched a bowl of water for a dog for free.

“very warm and accommodating. i came in after taking my pet rock for a walk (he is called dwayne and he has a mean streak, be cautious). i asked for a small aluminium bowl of water for dwayne, which they fetched for me (for free!). lovely coffee and very tasty sugar packets. nice parking. myself and dwayne shall return soon.”

“A lovely location with friendly staff however, I felt the price point was a little off. £12.50 for the toastie pictured and most of it was really hard crunchy over toasted bread, with not much cheese or apricots and the thyme flavour didn't really come through in it either. I was slightly disappointed as I was really excited to try the unusual flavour combinations.”
