What 708laurenl doesn't like about The Grumpy Cook:
So after reading lots of good reviews we decided to try this cafe for breakfast. I was also swayed by having pancakes on their breakfast menu which appear hard to find these days!!

Nestled in a scenic area, this charming café invites families with its dog-friendly atmosphere and a well-designed children’s play area. Guests praise the excellent food and value, with meals averaging between £1 and £20. While the service and ambience received high marks, visitors have noted occasional stock shortages and inconsistencies in food preparation. Popular choices include delectable cakes, breakfast options, and a range of lunch dishes, though coffee offerings could benefit from an upgrade. Overall, despite minor setbacks, the café remains a beloved spot for leisurely meals with family and friends, complemented by ample parking and a pleasant outdoor seating area.
