This restaurant is lovely, and their cakes are not only beautiful but also delicious. The staff always make you feel welcome.

This cozy friendly place has the most beautiful selection of home made cake and a brilliant menu loved it x

It is always lovely to be in the little cafe. Everytime we are on holiday we go to see John in his cafe and have really nice food.
