Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff and relaxed, welcoming atmosphere at this café in part of a former mill. Several describe the food as lovely or excellent, naming salads on a hot day and a selection of cakes, and a few call the prices reasonable. The decor draws repeated comment, described as eclectic, quirky and film and music themed, with wall art and an outside area for fine weather. Families describe the team catering a post-funeral afternoon tea and a family wake, and one group celebrating a birthday was brought cake with a candle while Happy Birthday played. The main criticisms come from one reviewer, who found the metal chairs uncomfortable because they are not wide enough and felt service could have been a little more attentive. One reviewer notes a table for six was found immediately after being told telephone bookings were no longer taken, and a few mention plenty of car parking at the front.
