I've been here many times but today I was a little disappointed. My sister opted for the vegetarian option and was offered two sides, I went for the fish (slightly more expensive) and was only offered one side because my sister's was the veggie option ? Why does a veggie dish warrant two extra veggie portions but the more expensive fish dish only warrant one veggie side? I was also upset to find that the water was given out in small plastic cups when it used to be served in glass tumblers. In this day and age when we're trying to cut back on plastic why the change? And why paper cups for tea? On a plus note the garden is always lovely and it is a great place to while away an afternoon after a good walk on the heath.

I highly recommend you do not order the chorizo sausage roll, the meat it self smelled like a wet dog and it didn’t taste much better, between the meat and the pastry was an odd slime that was very off-putting. I think perhaps it was not thoroughly cooked. I wanted to contact them directly to give them this feedback, but I could not find any contact details. Please avoid disappointment!

This restaurant is absolutely charming, both inside and out, and offers a wonderful variety of food including sandwiches, wraps, salad bowls, and delicious cakes at reasonable prices. The garden area is also lovely. I highly recommend giving it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Jolly nice cafe with great coffee and eats, at a price! Lovely outdoor seating good in all weathers! Don’t see the point of the expense (because you pay for it) compostable cups/plates if there are no facilities for composting
