Always manage to find a table to sit at, which can be a problem in some places. Staff are really friendly.

Overall an average experience, could have been executed better with hot food, more attentive staff and positive vibe. Missing a trick with the post park run refuel!

My caramel shortbread was the best I’ve ever had. Central location with short term parking opposite. It has a roomy upper floor which has a lovely atmosphere, plus a smaller room with club chairs. The loos were clean.
