Closed. 😭 A cosy cafe with friendly and attentive staff. Indoor and outdoor seating in a quiet courtyard conveniently located just off the high street. Nice breakfast and lunch menus available; and of course a good selection of cakes and deserts. Well behaved dogs are allowed inside and outside; water and complimentary treats offered. Parking just a couple of minutes walk away; toilet / baby-changing facilities on-site (ask staff for key). Card payments accepted. Highly recommended.

I had an afternoon tea plus birthday cake delivered to me for my birthday yesterday. The packaging and labelling was lovely, especially the dried lavender. Sandwiches were good, scones,( still warm) jam and cream excellent, the mini cakes were plentiful and delicious. But the actual birthday cake was magnificent, not too much icing, beautifully decorated, the sponge and filling was just a lovely flavour. Even passed the taste and smell test from young Olivia who took a generous portion home with her. Thankyou Hannah for such a lovely treat.

We recently spent Christmas in Warwickshire and were passing through Daventry for our food shopping. We'd never been before but were hungry and thirsty after an early start and almost 3 hours driving and ready for a breakfast. I saw a sign off the main street for this place and jackpot, it was dog friendly. We got a very warm welcome from the family running the cafe. And water for the dog which is always a nice touch. We had great coffee and a substantial sausage and egg sandwich. The sausages tasted very high quality. And there was even one brought for the dog as a treat, which was really lovely (though I think we were lucky as it was quiet when we arrived). The place soon filled up and is clearly popular. A great start to our Christmas holiday.

I went in there for a bacon sandwich one morning but in fairness to them I felt this wasn't what they were best at. The sandwich was okay, albeit slightly tasteless but it did look like that teas, cakes and scones were more of their speciality. The cakes did look delicious. I found the place freezing though, made worse by one of the owners leaving the door open whilst they were putting up decorations. I'm sure that when it is busy it has a much better atmosphere than what I experienced so will go again at lunchtime and see.

I recently held my baby shower afternoon tea at the courtyard cafe and it was perfect. The new owner Natasha was so helpful in the run up to it and was always reachable via Facebook messenger if I had any queries before the day, accommodating all of the dietary requirements we had as a group. I know friends also got in touch with her to make arrangements as a surprise for me and they said exactly the same. On the day it couldn’t have been better and the food and organisation was perfect. The afternoon tea was delicious and beautifully set out with lovely bows on the stands etc. Although there were other customers in the cafe Natasha let us celebrate on our own, never asking us to be quieter or to take up less space, her team only interrupting occasionally to ask if more drinks were required etc which I appreciated.

The tea room was very hot and not well ventilated. Afternoon tea was very nice but not enough sandwiches (we had two plates between 5 adults). There was an abundance of cakes and scones with jam and cream and a glass of prosecco. Being a vegetarian I was put off eating a sandwich off the same plate that meat and fish sandwiches were on. (when booking it was said that one of the party was vegetarian.) A scone with a cake would have been plenty with more sandwiches on offer. This was on offer at £15 each but with teacher discount of 10% I thought it was still expensive.

Very disapointing. We had held a small function here in March '23 and on the sucess of that plan a repeat in March '24 so, knowing it had changed hands in the meantime, we booked a table for just ourselves to check it out. On arrival we found there was no reservation recorded even though it had been made several days earlier. However a table was available by the door into the kitchen. My wife chose two starters -Asparagas tartlet then Prawns with mixed veg. I chose baked camambert then Beef burgignon with chips. The asparagas tartlet was crisp and very dainty with a minimal amount of asparagas. The prawns were inedible having so much pepper in the sauce that my wife, who is normally happy with spicy, peppery food rejected it . We asked th waitress to inform the chef but there was no response from the kitchen. The waitress did offer to get her something else but there was nothing else on the menu that she wanted. The camambert was fine, being a good portion "Le Rustique" soft and runny and well within the sell by date printed on the case. My beef dish was not as flavoursome as I had expected of Burgignon The chips were nicely cloured but had an oily look and no crispness at all. I suspect they had come from the freezer via a dip in warm oil. I normally wolf down all the chips on the plate but a good half went back to the kitchen..We usually like to look at the desert menu but gave it a miss as we had no expectations. I went to the bar to pay. The barman asked if we had enjoyed the meal so I told him it was not to our taste as the prawns were inedible owing to the amount of pepper and that we had sent that message to the chef. He was happy to take the full amount from my credit card. Such a pity when we had had such a good experience here with Lucile in charge 9 months ago. We are still looking for a venue for our function next March.
