Delightful spot - a bit dull inside due to lack of outside light but garden is super if warm enough. Very nice quality bacon & sausages

A jewel of a cafe and shop. Fresh, tasty produce, full range of hot refreshments. Excellent home cooked food. Reasonably priced, ample parking and well worth a visit. Your quintessential English farm shop and cafe. Lovely tea service, fresh flowers on tables - great atmosphere and an ideal place for a cream tea or cake and coffee. Highly recommended.

The Sunday roast , as always, was delicious but it seemed even more tasty than usual ( if that is possible!!) Roast turkey was scrummy and as a coeliac having gluten free Yorkshire pudding , gravy and cauliflower cheese is just wonderful. Roast beef was also excellent. Friendly staff , free parking and a lovely place with homemade cooking. Couldn’t manage a dessert but there were some good choices available including lemon cheesecake, treacle sponge, chocolate fudge cake and more! Another time !!! Will be back. Would recommend booking !

Really friendly and helpful staff. With one of our party Vegan and another vegetarian, the staff were very helpful and informative on the phone when booking and while eating. The food was also really tasty and lots of it. The breakfast were large as was the Mac and cheese. Cosy atmosphere too. Thank you

You really don't know what the menu is going to be like till you get there. Then you're shown a blackboard - and there are also some everyday favourites on a bigger board. The food was delicious. The venison was very tender. Basically everyone cleared their plates. Highly recommended.

I visited today with my daughter, who is a newly diagnosed Coeliac and chooses to be vegetarian which makes it a little easier for her to manage her condition. I must say that it was such a positive experience, nothing was too much trouble for the girls and we had a lovely lunch and a chat after. We felt so welcome and will look forward to coming again soon ❤️

Just a wonderful delicious Sunday roast - with 3 choices of meat ( we had turkey and beef) and vegetarian option. Served with stuffing, parsnips, roast potatoes , Yorkshire pudding, vegetables including cauliflower cheese and gravy and condiments!!! Just amazing and if you let them know they do gluten free gravy, stuffing, Yorkshire and cauliflower cheese too which was so tasty! Also other dishes on their menu. Sunday special Desserts change each week but there is always meringues, sundaes, I’ve cream , cake and much more. You really do need to book for a table on a Sunday. Family run by lovely people who work very hard. How they manage it from a quite small kitchen amazes us. Open every day. Recommend wholeheartedly.

The family arranged a surprise birthday party for my mum in law on her 80th. So it was a private party and we had the whole place to ourselves. The staff was fantastic, food was out of this world. And mums cake was a work of art. Mum was so shocked, her face was a picture she thought she was going to the garden centre to look at plants. And instead she walked into a room filled with family, friends even her neighbours, totally recommend we had a brilliant time.

I booked a table as there were 9 of us for a belated birthday lunch. She made the table look lovely with party sprinkles and lovely glasses and napkins. There was plenty to choose from on the menu, we were in fact spoilt for choice. A great venue and one we'll be returning to! Happy customers from age 1 to 77 😋
