  “Rather rude and unprofessional that the server made a drink walked up from behind and just pushed the drink on the table with no acknowledgement. Food order was made with some adjustments to it but still served wrong luckily we were able to sort it ourselves. Lack of atmosphere compared to previous visits.”

  “Had the middle(medium) breakfast and it was superb just the correct amount and very tasty also had a chocolate orange milkshake and that was very nice too! Not a healthy lunch but really nice but they do salads if you want healthy.”

  “My Stepson and my Grandaughter visit regularly and we finally visited this morning, along with my daughter in law. What a delightful place! The staff were welcoming and the food excellent. For me, the perfect full English breakfast. And the prices . . . oh the prices. Given the quality and flavour of the ingredients (the sausages have to be tasted to be believed) the prices are extremely good value. You can have a filling Brunch and a cuppa for less than a tenner; just a little more if you pigged-out like me! The natives were very friendly! I had two or three wonderful conversations with regulars: indeed I intend to be regular myself (at the cafe: I'm already regular on the toilet lol). But, the unsung USP (unique selling point) of this establishment is the cats. Two or three are always in the building. If they like you, or feel you need some cat therapy and you want them to, they will soon find your lap. And if you take a walk you will see many more, all rescues and all looked after locally. Craft products, and very good they are too, are sold in the cafe to raise money for food and vet bills. I cannot praise this place enough. Great staff, great food, great cats . . . oh, and very clean. Go on, visit: you won't regret it.”

  “Edit...tbf it wasn't explained the reasons why tap water couldn't be provided, that could have gone a long way. I wasn't rude, just surprised and maybe a little short at the refusal. I've never been refused tap water before. I had no idea I had to go outside and help myself and wasn't I formed, but wouldn't that be unsuitable too. I wasn't criticising the cats in anyway, we love them and fussed them, but sadly not everyone likes cats or may be allergic...The prices were really reasonable and the breakfast was well cooked and we enjoyed it. The milkshakes and the huge selection was awesome and again a good price. It would be helpful to serve the 2 slices of toast on a side plate as it's impossible to eat your breakfast with it on top and we had to put it on the napkins. TBH, the mocha, though cheap, wasn't great and I wouldn't buy again. Both the cats were just lovely, but if you don't like them this wouldn't be the place for you. We asked for tap water and we were told no, had to buy bottled. I don't know if they realise this but they are in breach of their alcohol license conditions by refusing, for this reason it's doubtful I'll eat here again which is a shame overall. I eat out in different places weekly and have never been refused tap water and most places nowadays just have a separate station for it to help yourself. I don't know who owns the toilet but it's dire, filthy and smelt of tobacco smoke.”

  “We were traveling from Bournemouth to Manchester and stopped here for breakfast. The location is a little unusual to access – it feels a bit like going off-road – and it can be noisy since it’s close to a main road. However, once inside, the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. We ordered two English breakfasts, which were tasty, good quality, and reasonably priced. Overall, a nice spot for a hearty breakfast despite the slightly tricky access.”

  “Poor Dave cat riddled with Fleas. My daughter noticed them crawling on poor cat. Please look after your cats properly. Also service very poor. All the tables throughout cafe were sticky and dirty. The tables wasn't maintained cleaned in-between customers properly. The milk in the milkshake was off. My daughter now has upset tummy. Avoid I would as staff have attitude issues. Cats I feel sorry bless them poor cats.”

  “This place popped up on my Facebook today (their milkshakes specifically!) which piqued my interest. My eldest and I thought we would give this gem of a place a go this afternoon. We were greeted with warmth and kindness - and delicious milkshakes! (Not forgetting the lovely views outside). The food menu looks good and the prices look fab for the options available. I will be retuning with both of my children next time for more milkshakes and to try the food menu! Thank you! 🌟”

  “Found this little gem - and didn't expect to find this view on my way out of Totton! Small fishing lodge cafe sitting amidst 3 lakes and beautiful views. Service staff were lovely and attentive; happy to chat but not disturbing at all. Wide variety of milkshakes to choose from, after a lovely Full English Breakfast. Will definitely come back.”

  “My mum is a regular and while I was childminding she took me and my charge there. What a lovely little cafe, hidden in the middle of nowhere. They were very friendly with all of us, especially the little one who they let go behind counter and choose drink as she's difficult. Mum and I sat and chatted while the little one explored the outside, petted the cats and enjoyed herself. Will be going back when I go back that way again in the future.”
