    We just stopped for coffee and a cake. It was quiet and the staff were lovely. I can't really say anything about the food.

    Very friendly staff! They couldn’t do enough for customers. Free parking as well. Close to the garden centre, food market, craft shop and other local businesses. Food was great and they notified us that there was a wait on the food which we didn’t mind. The midi potatoes were yummy and we felt the amount of food in the farm cafe brunch was just right. The toast was also really good. Highly recommend!

    We chose this cafe for a family group of 6 today, Friday noon. The lady taking orders at the till was completely on-the-ball and oozed experience. Our orders arrived in good time, although table service lacked a personal touch. Food was great quality and super tasty. We devoured everything and were so full! I would recommend this cafe as a perfect place to meet for a casual meal.

    Really lovely place, very friendly welcoming staff, food was lovely and hot and fresh, superb bubble and squeak! The only downfall was, we waited 40mins for our food, now I don't expect fast food, I like a proper fresh cooked breakfast, and granted, this place was very busy when we arrived, but it might be worth giving customers the heads up if it's busy and telling them a rough wait time? Fortunately we had the time on our hands to wait, but had we somewhere to be we may have decided not to stay had we known it was that busy. That aside, the food was definitely worth the wait, staff work hard and all provide a good service, it has not put us off returning atall, just honest feedback.
