Basic food and decor, broad menu, little too much plastic window dressing.

bought some fishing rods it came to £7.50 paid with £20 and they only gave back £2.50 i said i’ve paid with £20 this isn’t the correct change they said i didn’t, pretty sure i how much i paid with anyways they says we’ll checked the till apparently everything is correct. So they’ve kept £10 of my money which they owe. I’m struggling with money at the moment and could have really with that £10 they owed me

Lovely place to visit with kids. Free Car park from both sides of the play area with some disabled spots available too. New play area for the kids, new toilets including baby change! (due to be open soon). Cafe nearby with delicious ice creams! Takeaway available there too! Holiday park by the side as well. There’s a park to visit with a river, we took a walk there and it was lovely. Just one recommendation for all - it’s very muddy there right now! - take your wellies otherwise you’ll sink in mud! 😄

We were shopping over at consett and thought we would give this cafe ago !!This cafe is strange to enter you had to ring a bell to be let in , then wear a mask and sanitise your hands to go to table , I feel this is a bit over the top now considering restrictions getting dropped !!On the plus side a lovely lady called Brenda served us . This lady was perfect, friendly and attentive . The food was lovely and there was a lot of choice on the menu .I was quite shocked at some of the reviews, as I could not fault Brenda or the food , food and service was excellent

Good menu however they had run out of most things we wanted when we visited. Chips we did get were undercooked and sandwich really bland. Don’t expect to be able to use their toilet even if you buy 3 meals as they refuse to let you in.

Called here recently and was very disappointed.we were left in a room by ourselves with no staff having to ring a bell to get attention. Our meals were cold and we barely touched them as they weren't very nice. We were never asked if everything was ok as they were to busy panicking that the WiFi wasn't working for the card machine. We just paid and left. Won't be going back

Sorry I had to give it ONE star! Would have preferred none at all option! The worst most unfriendly cafe I have ever ever been to! We spent £25 last weekend - on what turned out to be LUKE warm hot chocolate drinks! One of our party, a 67 year old lady, politely asked for directions to the toilet whilst our £25 worth of order was being prepared. She was REFUSED access to their loo! We were told 'only people sitting inside can use the toilet'!!! Unbelievable and totally astounding! No one could believe it, especially as we were spending £25 there - on luke warm 'hot' drinks! It was a disgrace, the staff were aggressive and really unfriendly - we were totally shocked - not one soul was inside, it wasn't as if they were busy - with their service, attitude and poor drinks, I'm not in the least surprised they were empty. The worst experience ever... it wasn't even humane!! We'd spent all that money, but because we weren't 'sitting inside', an older member of our party couldn't use their facility! An utter disgrace. The staff were appalling and so anti-social it was funny later on when we were over the shock of their attitude. Take your own drinks - then you will guarantee getting something hot - you won't get that from this Allensford cafe I can assure you. Paid £5 for a luke warm chocolate! A real rip off to add insult to injury. WARNING: I tried to put this review on their site - not published yet! There's a surprise!

Great cafe that does all sorts of food, from waffles, to chips, to breakfast and so much more. We usually go for long walks and then have coffee us adults and ice creams the kids. They even serve Sunday lunch and were also doing during quarantine!! You order on one side, usually there is a queue, and collect your order from a different window. People always seem to keep their distance. There is a small shaded structure that you can seat with your dog to enjoy your food but also there are several tables available with umbrellas.

Staff were efficient and pleasant, meal was hot. It was a very warm day and humid, all the outside seats were taken so we had to sit indoors and not much air was circulating so was a bit stuffy. The meal (chips) were hot and tasty but were advertised as hand cut which they were not. I may go back again.

I finally managed to find time to go to the café at a quiet time, near closing time, on a grey day. I treated myself to a takeaway cup of decaf coffee and some shortbread - and it did feel like a real treat! I will certainly be back - I could not believe all the things that were on offer on the menu. Something for everyone for sure! Service was also great - very friendly. Thank you and see you again soon!

Plenty of places to park, probably enough picnic tables or just 1 or 2 more needed. My kids played at the play park for ages and some bits were missing. There was quite a lot of dog poo about which spoilt out playing of games on the field. There is a cafe which serves all sorts. NO TOILETS due to CV19 so watch out for nettles.
