Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are drawn to this converted chapel for its setting, with the Ploughman's and a Reuben grilled sandwich both getting praise, plus takeout options like Pakora and cauliflower cake. Staff are called warm and accommodating, even fetching water for a visiting dog. One diner found a £12.50 toastie disappointing, calling the bread overly crunchy with thin filling for the price.

“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.”
