The staff were very welcoming and lovely. Made such a fuss over my dog. However the food was poor. Ordered a coronation chicken sandwich and thr bread was stale.

After visiting this restaurant twice years ago, we recently stopped by for two cups of tea, two smoothies for the kids, and a slice of cake. We were surprised by the high price of £28! Even though we were told it was table service, we were never given menus. We would have considered ordering lunch, but the outrageous prices made us glad we didn't. The staff were nice, but we do not plan on returning.

Staff still ignored us standing at the sign after several minutes got fed up and walked away.

Avoid! Used to be great, now rubbish. New management have ruined everything that was good about it. For a similar culinary experience go to Aldi, buy a pack of 5 sugary pancakes, stick them in the microwave until rubbery and charge yourself a tenner. Complete scam.

Visited here as every other coffee shop was closed or full. Limited cakes left but millionaires shortcake and Ricky road was very nice. Chai latte and ordinary latte were also good. Only drawback were the dogs , big and small . More of them than patrons.
