We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to A Differnt Brew: the staff were wonderful, the surroundings lovely, the food was good (including nice gluten free for a coeliac friend and the ethos was great. We were a group of friends meeting up from different places and it met our needs perfectly. We look forward to visiting again:

On the day we visited there was a good selection of cakes, and we chose the carrot cake and the sprinkle cake, which were very good. There was also a gluten free option. It is a nice little cafe, which aims to use local ingredients. The staff are friendly and helpful. The only drawback is the limited parking. We have driven past before and not gone in because we couldn't park. The café deserves more customers. The able bodied could park at Sainsbury's or Lidl and walk.

After driving for 2 hours from the South Coast, we stopped by this restaurant for a snack and drinks. We were very pleased with our choice. The food was outstanding, the drinks were good, and the service was exceptional. The overall atmosphere of the place was delightful, and the staff went above and beyond in making our experience enjoyable. We highly recommend this venue for a visit. Our only regret is that we don't live closer to make it a regular spot for us.

I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday and had a great experience with their delicious coffee and teacake. The staff were friendly, and the ambiance was welcoming and community-oriented. They offer a variety of sandwiches and serve afternoon tea in beautiful vintage china. Additionally, they have a charming shop that sells handmade crafts and wooden items created by the individuals benefiting from their services. I will definitely be returning in the future.
