Blacketyside Farm Shop in Fife

Just keep driving past, nowadays always looks busy, loads of pensioners in for cake & a cuppa, but boy has it gone DOWNHILL You now order & pay at counter, though you have to wait to be seated, fewer staff too, tables & floors are littered with dishes & debri choice isn't as big, no butter on sandwiches/baguettes just filling, a few cakes available but no scones, don't offer afternoon tea. Glasses & cutlery were unpolished or checked before bring put on tables that aren't disinfected between customers & need a coat of varnish. Ceiling beams & lights are thick with dust. Obviously haven't heard cleanliness is next to godliness Not like it was a few years back 🙄

Lovely farm shop, good meat counter and also small garden centre. Too late in the year for strawberry and raspberry picking. Lunch in restaurant was lovely and good for gluten free. Well recommended

We visited on a very sunny Saturday in July to go strawberry picking and let little one play in the play area. For strawberry picking - you head to the desk where you can buy take-away. You pay a deposit for picking which is then deducted from the price of the strawberries you pick. At time of our visit the deposit for £2 per adult and £1 per child. We headed to the tunnels. Wow - they were hot! Super warm, as to be expected. The plants are all raised which is good as no bending to pick your fruit. We filled three tubs in no time. We then headed back to the same desk/till to have our fruit weighed and also purchased some drinks. After putting our berries in the boot of the car we took our drinks and got a table in the play area. Our little one had over an hour of fun here, made friends with some other kids and thoroughly enjoyed it.. Before we left, we headed for a look around the farm shop. This was super busy. I have to say, we have been in better farm shops, there was a lot of bits and bobs for homes and gifts in here that just don't interest us, but this is personal taste. There was still plenty of produce to pick up if you wanted to. We will definately return again next year for berry picking (if not before for a coffee and play). Free parking with an overflow car park too.

Waited a few minutes to be seated as it was busy and were told the food may take longer than normal however our sandwiches arrived before the drinks so no issue there. One of the sandwiches was on the wrong bread (white rather than the granary requested) and when pointed out they did offer to swap it but we ate what was bought to the table. The food was nicely presented and the serving staff were all polite. We were expecting more choice of home made produce in the shop (pies, quiches, soups etc.) so were a little disappointed with the range offered. Sausage rolls were nice though.

Blacketyside Café near Leven is a hidden gem! The coffee is simply wonderful, perfectly brewed and rich in flavor. Their fresh strawberries are a must-try – juicy, sweet. The atmosphere and friendly staff make every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Two out of five and that’s me being overly generous. Went up at 0920 for a few things. Fresh vegetables not topped up. However managed to see what I wanted and put in basket. Went to counter to pay - however no staff in shop or tearoom at all therefore unable to. So after waiting for goodness knows how long left basket on counter and got what I wanted else where. Walked past one of the owners who was “busy” with workman - he had seen me with basket in hand and was bound to see me walking out of shop empty handed. If there was no staff in to provide a service why open? Also on previous visits at times the younger staff appeared not to have a very good attitude towards customers- it was as they just could not be bothered serving you. This place needs to review staff training and to realise if it wasn’t for the customer……

Our first visit after driving past several times. Very disappointed. The outside courtyard is very grubby with used napkins, cigarette ends and spilled food on the ground. Seats and tables had bird poo on them. We ordered applewood smoked cheese and chutney toasties but we had to send out a search party for more than one small piece of cheese, the rest being chutney only. Most unpleasant to eat, so most was left.

This venue seems to attract mixed reviews but we accepted the risk of disappointment and went for lunch. Have say that we had zero to complain about food wise although their food ordering process provided some light entertainment as we waited for our meal to arrive. Two adjacent tables were offered freshly prepared food and drinks that they hadn't ordered and those who had ordered lunch seemed oblivious to what was going on around them! When our meals arrived, the food was hot, the portions were fair and we thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen's efforts. Cannot see any advantages in the new process for ordering and paying for your food in advance - maybe too many Fife folk were doing a runner and not paying for their meals? The waiting staff were pleasant and the loos were absolutely spotless - usually a sign that their kitchen will be kept clean as well. In addition, the car park is free and there are no traffic wardens to spoil your lunchtime experience. Rather enjoyed their home-made soup and the Coronation Chicken was very tasty. This latest visit on a wet and windy February day, was voted a success all round and we will certainly return

I ordered an egg sandwich on granary bread, unfortunately it hurt my eyes looking for the filling, a few crisps and a bit of salad £7.00. On mentioning it to staff they were told to keep filling to a minimum as 'we were putting on to much' You need to go to Loch Leven Larder, they will show you how to fill a sandwich.

How disappointing. I was gifted a voucher for Afternoon Tea for 2 by a good friend, sadly she has not spent her money well. We booked 7 days in advance, giving plenty notice as one is gluten free. It’s seems that this was not enough notice. We arrived 15minutes early but were seated, 30minutes later I had to ask a waitress for help. She then returned and asked what filling we wanted in our sandwich and what we would like to drink. As you will see from the photograph, my egg mayonnaise sandwich was cut with the same knife as my friend’s Coronation Chicken sandwich…not acceptable! I was given a cherry scone and asked for a plain scone which there wasn’t any, I was offered a choice of traybake from the fridge…but I already had 5 cakes so didn’t want a 6th one. Incidentally my gluten friend only got 4 cakes…equality for gluten free??…I think not! A lovely friendly waitress came and asked if we enjoyed it afternoon tea, poor thing got a shock(Sandra?) My friend was reluctant to comment, but as a frequent customer I didn’t hold back. The scones were not fresh, so dry and crumbly. Only 3 thin stripe of sandwich each. In all honestly if I was paying for this today, I’d have been very cross! Thank you to the helpful waitress who took the time to ask if everything was ok. It was far from it! Would i recommend this to anyone? No! Avoid at all costs! A lovely friendly waited

Having previously had a luke warm reception especially waiting for a table when we were ignored. The staff member greeted my husband and especially our 2 year old grandaughter Lilyella a very enthusiastic welcome. She was so attentive and our breakfast rolls and delicious coffee and Lilyella babychino with marshmallows were just what we needed. On departure a warm goodbye that warranted a hug from the little one. Just fab

The food was lovely, I had applewood smoked cheese and pickle sandwich. My daughter had cheesy nachos. It was all lovely. The young gentleman who served us was lovely. But when it came to our order for 2 latte's and two strawberry tarts, the service died. Our strawberry tarts came, no coffees. We started to eat our strawberry tarts, still no coffees. I was watching the two girls who take the orders, payments and bring the coffees, teas. The two of them stood there chatting, no one went anywhere near the coffee maker. Half way through our strawberry tarts, my daughter went and asked where our coffees were. They were standing talking. A dark haired girl and a blonde. Our coffees arrive soon after that. As my daughter works in a very busy restaurant, as a supervisor, her rule is, cakes come out with or just before the coffee.

Not been to Blacketyside for a while (couple of years) as it's a treat to go out for lunch. Met up with a friend for lunch as it's equidistant between us and had good memories from previous visits we had lunch here. It was a bit late for lunch and despite the car park being quite full we got a table quite quickly. And service was quick too despite it being school holidays. Friend ordered a bake potato with filling and I ordered a special of the day - steak pie with boiled potatoes & veg. Friend enjoyed the baked potato but the salad was limp and starting to brown so it was a bit of a shock the salad wasn't fresh as they grow their own being a farm! My steak pie (£8) came in a bowl and I wondered why until I started to eat it. Most of it was gravy and the boiled potatoes were good but there were a 'million' peas! I think I managed to find 1/2 piece of a slice of carrot. Added salt as not much flavour in the steak pie . But after adding more salt realised there was nothing that would improve the bland flavour. There was a bit of pastry stuck on top but it wasn't crispy. The coffee was good though. So overall quite disappointing.

After reading several recent Trip advisor reports, we entered with trepidation and wondered if this visit to Blacketyside might be over rather quickly. A smiling member of staff got us seated quickly and explained their recent changes to ordering. paying for and delivery of food. We aren't big fans of ordering and paying for food in advance (before seeing or eating it) but what was delivered to our table was very good in terms of presentation, taste and portion control. The staff appeared to be busy, although I get nervous when there isn't a manager clearly visible and leading the team during service. Overall it was a very good lunch and we will happily return when next in the area. It has grown in size since previous visits and they have changed their operating processes but the coronation chicken remains consistently tasty. The loo was also maintained to a high standard on the day, which can be challenging after a busy lunchtime service.

I ordered a delicious filled roll for breakfast with a pot of tea. Quickly served by polite staff. Had to queue for a while though.

The food was good and well priced but the service could have been better. You find a table then go to the till to order and pay, which was a slow process. You then wait for your food to arrive. The servers need to learn to smile and have a bit of banter with the customers.

Came here for a quick lunch as we were passing. Ordered a panini and macaroni from the Specials menu. Very tasty and served up promptly. Would visit again.

We could not find any disabled parking, and it was not easy for my wife to walk to the entrance .There was an area for parking before the extension . is this something that your planning to do ?

This farm shop and restaurant has expanded considerably since our last visit and it is by far the best shop of its kind we have ever encountered. Went in for a light lunch, which was excellent and came out loaded with fresh produce plus cakes and other sweet treats. It's on the main road between Leven and Lower Largo in Fife. Don't miss it.

Ordered two fudge donuts and two flat white coffees. Service quite slow and when waitress arrived there were no fudge donuts left although there had been in the cabinet when ordered, changed to millionaire shortbread and strawberry tart, no millionaire shortbread left. Coffee was terrible, it was not flat white, no coffee taste, it was like a one shot latte. Thought that it might have improved after a visit a couple of years ago when soup I ordered was cold, when I complained two other tables immediately complained about food soup and mince cold . Years ago this used to be good, there are plenty of staff but service still slow.

Not the best visit. Ordered 2 soups and sandwiches. Cheese and chutney came as just chutney. Sent it back, 10 mins later no replacement. Ended up complaining and asked for refund.

So went for breakfast and noticed around 6 to 7 young girls serving at the counter. You know you are in for bad service when they are standing around chatting with each other and swapping stories about their new nails being done. Ordered a bacon roll but was informed after fifteen minutes that no rolls had been delivered and therefore, would I wait until the delivery driver brought them? I asked when that would be the young waitress seemed unsure. Never offered any alternative so we declined and left. At the counter in a queen waiting on a refund the man in front was getting very frustrated with the time taken to order his meal. He also commented about all the young staff and how they just didn't seem to care. The main problem is that they hire young staff to save money. However, the problem is that no one is supervising them and the service is appalling. The thing is the food is not cheap.

Sorry to leave a poor review but plenty of friendly staff but service was so slow !! Waited over 15 mins for a takeway coffee … shame as place looks nice and food looked good … need to get better organised

Good variety on the menu from snacks to full meals. Our soup and sandwich was served promptly, efficiently and was very tasty. We had enough room for coffee and cake which was also delicious. Christmas shop had a good variety of items reduced for their January sale which was an added bonus. I would highly recommend a visit to Blacketyside Farm shop.

Went for lunch with my dad (92). He hasn’t been here since the extension. It was my first visit. Lunch menu was good. We both had the days special which was quickly provided and very tasty. Coffee was good too. The shop was well stocked with fresh fruit and vegetables. The butcher area was great. Staff in all areas were friendly and attentive. We will be back.

Standards have definitely went down hill since my last visit, but the prices have increased drastically! Food quality and the selection on offer very poor, School dinner like Bakery selection (Scones stale and bland) and the tearoom looked very dated. Very Poor!

Went for breakfast, limited menu, bizarre ordering process where everything is ordered separately. No potato scones on the menu, no set breakfast menu. Suspect all heated up in a microwave. Was once a great place to go for breakfast, now awful.

Haven’t visited for a while and thought we’d head along for breakfast. Were disappointed to see that the menu was very limited. We ordered two breakfast rolls (as a full breakfast was not on the menu) and two coffees. The coffees were not even warm...

Well worth a visit, very fresh and tasty food, With the bonus of a stop at the restaurant. But be aware it is closed on Sundays.

Really good produce but chaotic and disorganised service in the restaurant. Lots of unsupervised young staff. Some friendly and others sullen. Been here many times but they need to get a handle on the service.

Used to enjoy Blacketyside but my visit with a friend a few weeks ago was disappointing, soup was lukewarm, coffee barely warm. I hoped it was a one off but when I went back a few days ago it was just as bad. My grandson...

Absolutely awful ham and cheese toasties made of plastic slices of cheese. Inedible and when I told the girl, she said “yes they’re not nice” but we were offered no refund. Won’t be back. I wish I could give zero stars

Website still advertising afternoon teas, travelled an hour to go there only to be told we could only have a takeaway, ended up with a scalding hot latte and a scale scone with no cream because there was none left, not impressed

Having eaten here when in the area in the past, I was disappointed the restaurant was closed because it's so popular, it's in the process of being extended. I did however shop here for food and gifts, as there's a good selection of quality goods.

Blacketyside is a very good farm shop. Alongside an excellent fresh meat counter, there is a very good shop with a fine selection of all the expected deli items, jams, chutneys etc, and a good range of local Scottish produce. I also particularly liked the fresh fruit and veg section and would defy anyone to look at the dirty carrots and not think back to “when carrots tasted like carrots”!

Excellent variety of produce from various fruits and veg and prices were reasonable.Had heard that their ribs were worth a try so we bought some and were not disappointed.Big down side was that the cafe was not opened which wasn’t mentioned on their web site meeting that we had to seek somewhere else ending up at Lochend Farm shop in Kinross which was lovely

We purchased some raspberries and strawberries from here and they were excellent! In fact, I'd go so far as to say they were the best strawberries I've had in a long time! My grandson isn't keen on strawberries but came back for a second helping, telling me they were delicious!

Nice to see the shop open and coping well following lockdown.There is a large extension at the front of the shop and entry is through the old florist shop . The Butchers is very busy with a nice range of meats and there are stacks of fresh Strawberries ,Raspberries ,Blackberries and cherries (where do you draw the line with buying ) The carryout cafe was very busy with a range of cakes for taking away.The Tearoom area has all the fresh veg and fruit well laid out. The shop is in the middle of a nmajor expansion at the front whick is taking shape

I travelled to Blacketyside yesterday in the hope of a lovely lunch in the cafe. Sadly the cafe is not yet open, although there is a great selection of fruit and vegetables for sale in part of its space. Maybe a message on thie website to advise visitors that the cafe is still closed would be helpful..

Went to shop to pick up a few things, that I had seen online! Only when I asked for them and was given them noticed they were different prices online! When I mentioned this I was told back, that the prices online are not all the same as in shop!! Yes, it was only 50p extra here and 30p extra there, but cmon!! Why different prices ? Won’t be back to this shop, staff very unhelpful and make you feel as if your the one that’s in the wrong. Even trying to tell me the Buffalo Farm ship is different prices to online too, when I know they are not.. Will be sticking to Buffalo farm in future, helpful and nice staff there

Terrible service and poor quality at exorbitant prices. Staff uninterested in being helpful... standing around chatting etc. We were invisible.

We drive past just about lunch time and decided to make a stop. We were not disappointed! It was very family friendly and had the yummiest desserts! The whole place was stunning and the little shop offering local goods was the perfect place to grab souvenirs for family. We would’ve gone a second time, but they were closed. Definitely worth a stop.

We had such a lovely lunch , very friendly and prompt staff 😃 couldn't fault the value for money !! Will be back in the near future for some delicious homemade scones and tray bakes 😃😃

I cannot believe I have never been here before. The service was amazing, all staff were so smiley and pleasant - taking extra care with my gluten intolerance. I was pleased to find out that the soup was gluten free, so I ordered the very reasonably priced soup and sandwich deal. Only £7 and it was all fresh ingredients! The place was so busy, with the tea room staff working incredibly hard.I can't wait to come back and will reccomend blacketyside to all my friends!

We visit for coffees or lunch frequently. It is always busy and no matter how busy the staff remain calm and organised and happy to welcome you. They are always kind, polite and helpful. They are well trained and very efficient. Food comes out fast, and they are willing to adjust our order to accommodate my food problems. The added bonus is the huge array of food to buy, lovely ready meals, milk in bottles, organic soya milk, fresh veg from the farm and a huge assortment at the butcher’s counter. We look forward to seeing the extension completed. It’s looking very good so far.

Last week my granddaughter passed her driving test and we decided to go to Blacketyside for lunch. The experience was terrible due to very bad service. We constantly had to refer to the waitress to see what was happening. She even tried to blame the bad service on us by saying my granddaughter should not have taken my wife’s soup as she was having a soup and sandwich and that’s what caused the huge delay. My grandson, aged 4, waited 45 minutes for a ham sandwich. When my course came the vegetables were stone cold. I did asked for them to be heated. Others saw the very bad service but did nothing. I paid the bill and my wife complained only to be told the message would be passed on.

Went for a light lunch. Food was excellent. Nice friendly staff. Very good service. Very nice and busy restaurant. Will be back.

A good place for a quick lunch stop. Efficient friendly service. Very reasonable price. Large portions.

I now have found a business that allows me to walk my dog to and collect Bottled milk! LOL Like the title says they must be doing some thing big for summer as there Workmen there at the moment and doing it up so a surprise is coming for summer. I am comfortable to leave my dog out side the entrance and the flower assistant can see her which I was Very grateful for as my dog is my therapy pet. So i will get my milk for this place from now on lol They also have a cafe as well and during the summer as i cant wait to find out this summer of what they are revamping but really excited to see.

nice food, good shopping and there is a large play-area out side for the kids and there is ample parking

We recently had a light lunch at Blacketyside. It proved to be a worthwhile visit because there was a good choice of dishes. It was a busy place which is a good indication that the quality of food and its cost are attractive to clientele. Despite the large number of diners the young waitresses were very pleasant and carried out their duties with admirable efficiency.

Popped in for a look round the garden centre and ended up doing a mini food shop (great selection of local produce) and having lunch!

There is a re-localisation of agriculture happening, and by that term "re-localisation" I mean the linking up of local agriculture with local consumers - be those consumers actual "locals," or tourists looking to purchase local produce, crafts, etc. (I fall into the latter category. I was traveling for work when I went to this shop). Re-localisation is happening all over the world; and while this trend is definitely a good thing, there are shops - such as, sadly, Blacketyside Farm Shop, which has a restaurant as well as market--who are exploiting the desire for folks to buy local for their own profit or other motive. Blacketyside was selling goods that were not truly local. I found items for sale from the PRC(i.e., scarves made in China, and not Scotland!); I purchased cards that turned out to be from a religious literature-distribution ministry (an evangelical Christian one) based out of either the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland! The restaurant was crowded, cafeteria-like, not welcoming. This was a sad experience - I was surprised it was busy the day I visited. Perhaps it is because people seek an alternative to a big shopping centre and feel that this is THE alternative - folks, THIS IS NOT AN AUTHENTIC FARM MARKET in the historic or contemporary sense. Stop by a farmer's: ask where she/he is selling something you'd like (such as fruit, etc.) ;check with local craft guilds to see what markets actually feature locally made goods. I'd advise avoiding this shop.

Popped in for cake and a cuppa, seated quickly by the waitress and orders taken quickly too, we only ordered a pot of tea and scones with butter & jam. 1 plain scone 1 fruit jam tasted like it was homemade and was very tasty. Reasonably priced and I'd go back again

We were driving from Forfar to Edinburgh and were in need of a short break. Blacketyside Farm fulfilled our needs.

My partner & my 2 grandchildren had a lovely day out here. We had soup & panini and kids had meals from children's menu. Meals were nice & tasty, staff were friendly & helpful. We did have a 10 minute wait but was worth it. After meal the kids played in the parks on the site & enjoyed themselves too, worth a visit.

Took a trip to this place for lunch. Car park quite busy and outside looks welcoming. However, once inside there was a queue for a table. This gave me hope food is good. We got pointed to our table by a very miserable looking member of staff and menus on table. Told "specials are on the board" which we had to leave our seats to look at. Made our choice, long wait until one of the many waitresses attended to our order. Along came our food. A small portion of oven chips and an extremely dry panini which was cold in the middle and cheese not melted. Was very disappointed. The soup however was lovely. The brie from specials board was not up to a good standard. Was not deep fried brie as it is described on the board. Seated beside kitchen. Looking into forever swinging door was a mass pile of food and crockery appearing on the floor. Enjoyed the tea and the shop.

A nice little restaurant on the Leven to Lundin Links Road, we stopped here for a snack lunch and were well impressed. Good service good food and comfortable surroundings made our visit worthwhile. The prices were reasonable too. The adjacent farm shop is also worth a look.

We stopped for some lunch at Blacketyside with our three children. Service was quick and friendly, prices were very reasonable, particularly for the kids, and the food was tasty, fresh and local.

First time at Blacketyside and the Facilities were awesome! Friendly staff, efficient service and Large shop with Butcher Counter. The Sweet and Sour Chicken with Rice was amazing. As was my wife's Meatballs and Pasta, Compliments to the Chef. Will return very very soon.

The tastiest of meals ... and it was .. mince and tatties! Delicious fare on offer. Great farm shop too. I travel from Edinburgh to buy potatoes, veg., bread, oatmeal etc.

Nice quality meats and preserves, great gift shop and staff were so friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend this place if your in the area.

Blacketyside Farm Shop .... is excellent for shopping for gifts, cards etc. Meals/ Coffee and homemade cakes. When en route to the East Neuk ... plan your coffee stop / or meal ... and enjoy. Reasonable prices and staff very pleasant and helpful.

Vistited here while on holiday, farm produce is top quality, and the cafe well it's more than that the menu choices are good and the food cooked well, one time we had scambled eggs I want the recipe so fluffy if they hadn't been busy, I may have asked them, wish we had somewhere like it near to us.

Most farm shop cafes I’ve been to are expensive, this is not. looking at the menu the full breakfast was £4.50!! (last place I went was £8.90) and 90p per item if you didn’t want the works or wanted double of something! Wow

The restaurant is quite good for a short visit the breakfast is excellent but a little pricey afternoon tea and cakes are very good and the place is very busy and the service is very good and friendly staff although a bit slow when busy but is acceptable

While visiting My Nephew for a few Days He and His Partner took Me here for Lunch.

I have been coming here for a good few years for breakfast, the last few times have been so disappointing. They have changed their coffee it is now horrible nowhere near As good as it used to be. Yesterday breakfast of scrambled eggs was the worst rubbery eggs I have tasted in a long. Hopefully they get there act together as I used to love it.

This shop/restaurant is always busy, which I suppose is a good, encouraging sign. The timber building is large and impressive...I love timber buildings! For a light lunch, we had a filled baguette and a bowl of chilli. The artisan baguette had plenty of filling and came complete with crisps and salad. I have to say that I found it very tasty and nicely complemented by the bowl of homemade chilli. One last note, the orange juice is freshly squeezed and delicious!

I brought my family to do some pick your own strawberries today I was absolutely shocked to discover that we had to pay a entry fee just to pick strawberries. As I didn’t agree with this my children were disappointed .I have never been charged a entry fee in any other pyo places at the end of the day you are picking the strawberries I feel this is a bit greedy on behalf of Blacketyside and I will not be back or recommend to my friends

This wasn’t the first time I had visited the Tea room or shop with my

Found this farm shop and cafe on Monday as we were heading home after a break in St Andrews. It was great. Good lunch menu and lovely food. Very busy which is always a good sign. Plenty of waitresses so quick service. Good baked potatoes which we followed with a large choice of cakes. Highly recommend.

Visited with my friend for a treat breakfast. excellent quality of food customer service was good waitresses was attentive. The restaurant was clean, prices were a little bit higher than I was expecting. Food was excellent with some home baking that was high-quality. the gift shop was absolutely amazing however was not cheap. the fresh produce was amazing and reasonable.

About as up to date as a 1960s transport cafe. Not dog friendly not veggie friendly and certainly not vegan friendly despite its claims. Whatever happened to Trades Description Act?

It was the first time i had been to this establishment, though the frontage is like Loch leven Larder, (Channel farm at Milnathort though slightly larger; their Steak Pie was delicious, and so was the brownie afterwards, though the person next to me had to have rice pudding and strawberries, being sunny and a nice day it turned out to be very popular with lots of people, as some went to the children's playground, while others went to Pick Your Own, returning with what they had picked and then paid for them; as for our group, we all enjoyed our selves,though Lara did not feel well, and John Cameron had to drive the bus home.

We recently visited Blacketyside farm with family we were with small children who also used the free play area a fantastic addition to the farm shop and helps with keeping the kiddys happy and content we used there cafe for coffe and cake that we all enjoyed and purchased some fruit and other trinkets from there shop.

Stopped for lunch , and must say my ploughman’s with their home made bread was delicious . Then had strawberry tarts and again the strawberry was sweet and very refreshing. Well worth a visit.

I've wanted to visit here for some time as others have enjoyed lunch. The café was busy although we didn't have to wait long for a table. When we got seated we had to ask for the chairs to be dried as they were wet. The food was good although we only had baked potatoes with cheese, tuna and prawn. However the service could be better. Two lunches came out and we had to ask for the other 2 after 10 minutes of the remainder not arriving. I asked if I could have my desert as a takeaway due to time constraints, and this was a problem. The pancakes were all freshly made and hot when they arrived.
