Customer Review Summary
The pizza draws the most consistent praise, with several reviewers calling it excellent and one calling it the best they'd had, with the garlic bread and shareable portions also singled out. Close behind is the soft play barn and party hosting, with parents describing birthday parties for a 1st and 4th birthday as well handled, staff as helpful and friendly, and the play area visible from the cafe via a TV screen. Coffees, teacakes, milkshakes and brownies also get individual mentions. One reviewer found the offer poor overall, noting the tuna sandwich came with no salad and calling the £4 per child play charge only "adequate," and another flags the pizza as expensive for small portions. Reviewers describe returning repeatedly, with one recounting spending a whole afternoon there over lunch, coffee and ice cream.

“Always friendly, helpful and great for kids”

“Had our daughter 4th birthday party here. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating. All the kids and adults said the food was amazing. The kids soft play was a great size and we felt comfortable in just letting them get on and play. Im sure we will be back for her next birthday and plenty of times between now and then”
- Paul Doughty
“It is a poor offer to be honest. Coffee was good and the tuna sandwich was large enough but no salad. The kids play area/barn was large enough for small children and toddlers £4 per child. Must try harder in my opinion. It really was adequate just, sorry.”

“Came here for dinner, wow the pizzas and the garlic bread are amazing. Nice friendly service, great food at a value price.”
- Kim Redgrave
“We love this place and have spent many a rainy morning here. My two year old loves the soft play area and selection of jigsaws, the pizza is delicious, as are the coffees and toasted teacakes. The staff and owners are so nice and friendly. …”
