The Snow Goose in Sunderland

Absolutely amazing, staff were very friendly and sorted us a table immediately, first visit I would definitely recommend

Great snacks, great coffee. The staff are all 10/10 and the service is 100% We go there twice a week. We just love the place

Disappointed with toasted cinnamon tea cake, spread with margarine and not butter with cinnamon sprinkled on the top. Thought at least it would be cooked in with the mixture, and I hate margarine grrrr

Amazing service, another afternoon tea with my son smashed out the park by the girls at the goose! I strongly recommend the iced latte!

Very rude waitress here! Insisting she clean the table before we sat down with a very rude attitude. Next waitress who served us was also of the same. Very odd behaviour towards customers! They’ve lost my vote now sadly as this is the second time.

This wonderful place to eat and walk after. Serving great toastie sandwiches, nice place to sit down.

This beautiful place is a hidden gem. The food is fabulous. The staff were so helpful.( I didnt the girls name but she had long blonde hair in a ponytail) My mother has mobility/health issues so it was difficult for us to get into the cafe. This young girl was so helpful kind professional and very respectful to my mother. Go here if you want a top grade experience

Had not been to The Snow Goose for quite some time, then visited twice within 2 weeks. Really like the Toasties here, plenty of filling and served with a fresh crisp side salad. My Husband ordered Welsh Rarebit with bacon on the top, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We were served by friendly staff and did not have long to wait. The prices are very reasonable considering you are on the Marina. I agree with other reviews regarding the car park. There are plenty of signs around and as long as you enter your car registration number in the machine located outside The Snow Goose, you will get 2 hours free parking.

I have been visiting the snow goose twice weekly now for 16 months and this coffee/café just gets better. Great staff, excellent service and the best cup of coffee in Roker. I would like to give a shout out to Anne ,Lisa and Kate .They all remember our orders without fail .10/10 girls.

Excellent service and tables and chairs cleaned after each occupant. Delicious toasted cheese scone and very good cafetière coffee. Very reasonably priced for quality food.

Fantastic toasties as usual on my occasional visit. Not sure about some of the reviews below. You’d have to be a real dumb ass not to see all the signs warn8 g you about parking charges. Its not even their carpark. Why not nip next door and have a go at the hairdressers for you not reading the signs when you go for a coffee. Great little cafe. But set your expectations. Its not the Ritz and the staff arent your skivvies. Recommended.

I have see bad reviews about the staff. I find the staff polite ,friendly and efficient. My wife and i go twice a week and have no complaints at all. A shout out to Lisa who always remembers what we have to drink and eat. The coffee is strong and probably the best in the area. The snacks are very nice and all at a reasonable price.

Would avoid at all costs and am telling all friends and family to do the same after the shocking behaviour towards my mother in law and nana this afternoon. I could count on one hand the amount of times that nana has been out since beginning of covid due to suffering from an immunosuppressant disorder. She is still extremely cautious for obvious reasons. Mother in law picked her up to get her some fresh air and drove to the marina and noticed the snow goose was open. She asked if they did paper cups which she was informed they did. She ordered two cups of tea and sat nana outside only to be told that to sit outside you have to have china cups not paper. My mother in law explained the situation and that she would rather not use china cups due to her mother being 80+ and having her immune disorder. The lady she spoke to had no sympathy and advised would have move or have china cups. There was no one waiting for tables this was at 3-4pm and was quiet. She then watched my mother in law carry the two teas to her car and then have to come back to help her mother walk back to the car as she couldn’t unassisted.

A very good place for a pit stop and a toasted teacake. If you are doing the coasts and castles cycle route, a good place to pause for refreshment. Recommended!

Have been coming for years but won't be back Upon arrival we chose to sit outside as the weather was nice but had to wait whilst table and chairs were sprayed and cleaned fair enough. The family next to us then ordered. We ordered crab sandwiches only to be told this was unavailable. So we ordered prawn sandwiches and 1 pot of Earl Grey tea with a extra tea bag and 1 pot of Earl Grey without the extra tea bags. They brought out the tea in 1 pot and the saucers were stained . The family next to us were served pretty much straight away we had to wait an extra 25 minutes approx for our sandwiches and upon arrival i asked the waitress what took so long she said i dont know i haven't been in the kitchen no apologie. My bread on the sandwich was stale and dry and upon paying i was asked if everything was ok which i answer no only to be told by the waitress ive been on my break. And they wonder why little cafes are shutting down.

After walking three miles with the dog, I popped in for a coffee. I asked for it in a takeaway cup so I could continue with my walk. Rather than continuing straight away I sat down outside with the dog for what would have been 5 minutes max. Unfortunately my 5 minutes rest was cut short by a very rude member of staff talking loudly at me saying I couldn’t sit there with a takeaway cup and that I must move on. This was very embarrassing for for me, and it was as though she found pleasure in humiliating me in front of other customers. At the time I purchased my coffee there was no one waiting for a table so I wasn’t causing any issues by sitting there. I asked for the coffee to be put in a normal cup to which she replied it was too busy to do so and that I had to move. It is evident that this member of staff is missing key customer service skills and needs spoken with or you will continue to lose business as I will not purchase from you again.

Popped in with my daughter after school for coffee and cake. Had the coffee and walnut cake and a cappuccino. The waitress (from London) who served us was extremely polite and helpful and even though it was near closing time showed no signs of being...

expensive for 2 coffees and scone - not obvious at venue and not asked for it - give Reg.No. or end up with £100 fine!!!!!

Food was very disappointing and we both ordered a fresh crab sandwich. At £6.50 each were were expecting a bit more than two slices of bread from a supermarket loaf, a thin scraping of crab in Mayo, barely a heaped desert spoons worth, a small...

Excellent, covid safe, lunch on a hot day! Scenery is perfect. Food was great at reasonable prices. Staff friendly.

Customs service appalling and it’s not the first time this lady was very rude saying although she said sorry we are closed at 2.45pm today her tone was very abrupt I will take my business elsewhere

Great venue in a fabulous location. Good menu giving a good range of food and drinks Indoor and outdoor seating Free parking on site

I came here last week, staff are always friendly and service is quick. We just had take away coffee this time but we have had food at previous visits which has been very tasty. Feels very spacious inside and covid secure. Toilets available which is...

Takeaway coffee yesterday. Drank it overlooking the Marina👍👍 Very fast COVID safe service Prices ok

We've been here 3 or 4 times recently and it's been really nice . Free parking outside for 3 hours Once we called when everywhere else was very busy and we parked and found a free table too. Coffee is good , scones too. We've...

We always enjoy a visit to the Snow Goose for it’s great atmosphere, excellent food and cofffee and it’s position in view of the harbour.

My wife and I regularly visit this venue . Great outdoor seating areas Free parking at the venue A new system is in place and on arrival you need to place your reg in a computer outside the front door of the venue. Great cafeteria...

Lovely little cafe Off the beaten Track where service was prompt. I only had a sandwich and a lovely cup of coffee but it was also beautiful day where you could enjoy the harbour views. The cafe also sells small gift items which is a...

My wife and I called in for a coffee this morning The coffees are great and reasonably priced Great outdoor seating Parking is available in the car park but you need to register after parking. Parking for three hours only. Staff ok

Walking from St. Peter's to Seaburn. Often stop off here for coffee. Lovely sitting outside today. Would recommend.

Nice bit of brunch with family in this lovely establishment. Toasties to die for. The staff work hard....the only downside was who I believe to be the owner who felt it necessary to belittle the staff in the middle of a busy lunchtime in front...

Staff very inattentive bordering on rude. Food was nice however the chocolate cake was very dry so I left it. Would not visit again.

so the cafe is actually in the marina in the buildings by the car park, and the only thing that lets you know its there is the sign "snow Goose" and the tables and chairs outside, inside its compact but roomy if you know what i mean, and very niceprices are good but its weird that if you want an egg on your bacon it has to be in a toastie, which makes me think the eggs are all precooked and heated up as the toastie is toasted which is a bit disappointingeveryone loves a runny yolk but that just not possiblebut i have to admit, well presented toastie with crisps and salad which was not really neededbut well worth a visit and i would call back again

Out walking with friends and we decided to pop in for a quick cuppa. Lovely service in nice cosy cafe. Toasted teacakes and scones were tasty and a nice pot of tea. Would def go back but this time for lunch.

It’s a bit tucked out of the way this cafe but now we’ve found it will be returning soon. Set near the lovely Sunderland marina, it’s got a nice ambience inside with comfortable seating outside. I can recommend the marzipan and cherry scones. Nice friendly service. Recommend

Popped in here last week as we had never been in before and glad we did.

Decided to take a breather and shelter from the wind. The Snow Goose was packed so we decided to sit outside and were surprised how warm and sheltered it was. A waitress came out immediately to see if we were ready to order. We selected panninis and coffee. Perfectly sized portions and didn't have long to wait although the restaurant was busy. Staff are very friendly and by the time we the outside seating area was pretty busy. Lovely to be able to sit outside and enjoy the views over the marina.

I visited with a friend in August, day out run along coast. The staff were not very helpful, po faced comes to mind not helpfull, we wanted soup and sandwich!!!! you think we had two heads, no soup and sandwich deal,cost us £10 each for soup and sandwich, plus drinks pensioners!! The soup was lentil stand a spoon up in it and it believe it or not too half hour to cool down over microwaved !!! my friend had a cheese and onion toastie , and i had a tuna toastie, hardly any cheese in the sandwich and the tuna was so dry, Yuck!! but the location was great, shame the po faced staff , prices and food let them down so much. I wouldn't recommend this place at all we wont be going back unless they offer us a free lunch but then, not really looking for this just protecting future customers BEWARE!!!

So glad I found this place to add to my repertoire. Lovely staff, lovely setting and lovely homemade goodies. The scones were fantastic; I’m on a mission to find the best. Toasted cheese scones..... mmmmm. Thank you. I’ll be back x

My Husband and I visited last week. We both are regulars to the Snow Goose. We always like to sit inside next to the door for the cool breeze coming in. It is a lovely little cafe down by the marina.

A lovely sunny day in a nice setting looking over the marina. Food was very good but got one of our orders wrong and took a while to correct but to our surprise did not charge for it. Will be back.

Having visited this establishment for lunch with my sister during our lunch hour from work, and having made a special trip for my sister's birthday, we were confronted with a young girl member of staff in approximately her 20's who proceeded to dish out filthy looks to us every time she passed us for no apparent reason. On some occasions she was smirking following her filthy look as she walked past us and on other occasions she was shaking her head. At first we thought we may be mistaken as to whom her behaviour was directed towards but she left us with no doubt that her ill-feelings were directed towards us.

Can't think of a nicer local venue. Sun beating down, boats bobbing about in the marina, surrounded by groups of friends chatting, having coffee and cake mid-morning. What more could you ask for.

Coffee and a carrot cake 👍👍 sitting in the sun on great outdoor seating. Parking on site Staff ok Prices ok

This is the first time we have been here , meet my sister here for a coffee .we both had a cheese scone we had it warm with butter ,we decided to have a pot of tea ,it was very nice .quick service ,

We visited after a long walk along Seaburn & Roker seafront. We found this small cafe in the marina. The weather was lovely so we were able to sit outside. The waitress arrived promptly to take our drinks order. Cappuccino was hot when it arrived and good coffee. I have only rated 3 stars purely because I did not see inside the cafe or use the toilets so I cannot comment on those. However I/we will visit again when we are in the area.

Great location. Plenty of outdoor seating Service ok Coffee good Cheese scone toasted👍 Prices good Parking outside the cafe👍

Very welcoming, lovely lively atmosphere, great choice of scones, cakes and tea room fare. Coffee perfect and lovely hot chocolate for our son. Ideally situated in the marina area.

Stopped for coffee and scones Hubby had tea cake), when out for walk. Reasonably priced and it's always full. Staff friendly.

I took my aunt for coffee after an afternoon shopping. Plenty of parking just outside. Nicely decorated. Plenty of seating. The menu had sandwiches, paninis toastie, bagels, soup and a roll. All reasonably priced. They also had Christmas toys on sale. Nice place to pop in, for a snack or drink. Toilets were immaculate.

Had latte here today. Unfortunately it wasn't that hot and lots of froth so not much to drink. Didn't try the food. They do unusual flavour scones ie ginger and apricot. However the table next to us had a scone and it was very small. Don't think I would go again.

Met a group of friends here for lunch. Not a very varied menu however there are sandwiches, panini, and scones to choose from. Nothing on the menu that is not full of carbohydrate. A range of tasty salads would have been lovely. Service was only average with lots of young female staff who are in no hurry to attend to customers. I'm pretty sure we were over charged as you do not get an itemised bill. You pay on your way out and don't see a bill.

I have visited this cafe many times but lately have been very disappointed, I keep giving it the benefit of the doubt but enough is enough the cappuccino is half inch of coffee & the rest is froth & luke warm, have tried an Americano & this had no taste of coffee could have been hot water. I have had scones which I'm sure are old especially if you get one toasted & last time I tried a toasted teacake, this came totally burnt on the top, inedible, could only eat the bottom half. I will not return to this cafe as feel I've given it quite a few chances. Would not recommend.

Popped into The Snow Goose, as my mum goes frequently as their ice cream is great and they do sundae's. After arriving we waited about 10min to be served, with waitresses walking past constantly, they made a point of making no eye contact. Finally someone...

Que el Snow Goose ir regular: la comida es excelente y el servicio amable (y excelente). Esperamos sus pasteles! (y todo lo demás también. ) La ubicación es excelente, junto a la marina. Hay asientos en el interior y al aire libre, así como parking, útil si vienes con alguien que no puede ir demasiado lejos.

Pequeño gran lugar aunque personal ronda como abejas amenidad, ya que son probablemente un poco corto de números. La comida y el servicio son de un gran valor. Leer algunos de los comentarios de abajo estoy de maravilla. Si el tipo que mide la anchura...

Aunque el tiempo era preciosa, la experiencia no tan caliente. Aprecio la necesidad de reducir los costos para mantener los precios a veces no es un gran resultado. Yo opté por ensalada de jamón, que aparecieron como pitta intoasted frío que pitta con ensalada y "shiney como barquillos "jamón y mi compañero un bagel con queso y jamón. mismo aburrido La mía venía con patatas fritas, un bonito detalle, pero estas fueron las pequeñas cosas, que de nuevo no conmueve. Pedimos té, una olla no muy caliente (yo tengo la mía negra que generalmente significa muy caliente), pero no esta vez no vinieron para mi amigo leche preguntó a una camarera para algunos y le dieron la jarra se marchó lejos de otra mesa? En un día de calor? Los precios son aquí, pero ya se sabe, un poco de competencia a la vuelta de la esquina ahora, espero el ganso de nieve recoge un poco ya es la segunda vez que hemos sido un poco decepcionado, no pueden ir por un tercio!

Pedí un casero jamón y queso ciabatta vale la pena cada céntimo. Volvimos el día después se evapora y nos dieron la versión como panini. Estas chicas me volveré a por más! !

Asked for a ciabatta to go, payed £4.25, the cheese was not even melted, it was just thrown on! I then went back and asked if it could be warmed up and the staff explained they could not do this?? A real let down and not even a sorry in sight, the staff were not pleasant as well. Overall seems like they don't care...!

Situated in a nice location beside the Marina. Good outside seating area, which is ideal if you have your dog with you. Bright and clean inside, with bits and pieces on show that you can purchase. There is a decent menu selection, also a "specials board" on the wall facing you, as you walk in the door. On this visit for some reason my friend and I were given both sets of cutlery wrapped in one paper napkin!

Always clean and tidy.Nice coffee and scone. Great view onto the marina.Service also quick and hassle free.

We went to the Snow Goose on saturday just because we were in the Marina and had been before -- no de caf tea was available-- very limited menu on offer--- i ordered toasted teacake and when it came it was TINY 3.5 ins -- yes i measured it !! the cake that my husband ordered was warm and he said was ok - but one knife one fork and one napkin came with both orders -- staff very clearly "saturday" girls who were too involved in the ir own conversations to be attentive -- this place needs some competition and fast -- the bill came in at just under £7-- NOT great value--i asked did they have brown bread-- no just seeded i was told! wont be hurrying back

Came here for lunch it was very nice and lots of choices. Staff were nice and friendly. They have a nice outdoor seating area as well with great views.

We go here often, either just us 2 or with my mum and dad. the place is so nice and the staff are great.I have bacon and cheese on a muffin and its lovely

Stopped here for coffee and scones on our walk. We have passed here before but decided to try it. Great, we will be back. Two mugs of coffee and two scones only £7.30. Great value for money. Staff friendly and attentive.

Very nice morning out with a few friends, first time in this lovely cafe, everything very good, friendly service as well, hope to visit again.

We've been loyal customers for a long time but now choosing to go elsewhere. Wafer thin cheap ham in a ham and please pudding sandwich (that's not cheap) just isn't on when it's the ham that makes it or chicken roll in a club sandwich instead of proper chicken? Happy shopper apple juice at the price they're charging, at least hide it away from the customers. If I didn't love the tuna toasties so much and the gorgeous seats on the marina I probably wouldn't go back.

Called in just after 11am very busy but lucky some people just leaving . Coffee a bit week but loved toasted cinnamon tea cake . I think there's as many outside tables and chairs as inside weather allowing .

Found this by chance. Fab location, outside area if you have a dog or if the weather is good enough to sit out. My favourite are the delicious scones they have. They do usual toasties. sandwiches etc. It's a great place for a chat and it has a comfortable feel. The owner Katie is friendly and the staff are chatty.

We have been dinning at the Snow Goose for a number of years, and have always found the service and food very good.If it has a downside it gets very busy, not a bad sign.Staff are always friendly and welcoming. The interior is clean and bright, and they have an amazing mural of an old map of Sunderland and the Wear, I know it is sad but I am fascinated by maps and study it for hours.Check out the daily specials on the black board.Breakfast bagels are delicious and my wife highly recommends the corned beef pie.The "mug of filter coffee" is very good, full of flavour.Not the cheapest coffee shop around but you always get great quality.

Nice coffee and a snack lovely to sit and relax for a chat with friends does get busy so can't always get a seat inside

Stopped in for a coffee and scone today with a friend. The waitress asked "Would you like the scone warmed up?" and I was just about to say "no, thank you" when she said we don't do it in a microwave, we do it in the oven. Finally, a cafe that recognises that microwaves ruin scones!And one of the young waitresses was very kind in helping an older customer who had mobility problems.By the way the oven warmed date and walnut scone was delicious.All in all in very positive experience.

Visited here for the first time on Sunday after a stroll along the coast. Lovely food and friendly service. Great location. Would have given 5 stars but had to change my 5 week olds nappy on the toilet floor...luckily I had a travel change mat with me, but it's not ideal at all!

Enjoyed a recent visit to the Snow Goose. Each time wehave been it has been busy.The food is tasty. I highly recommend the Iced Latte Coffee. Absolutely yummy.Good service in general.

I visited here by myself while my son did water sports at the marina. Very welcoming. Waitress came to table to take order you pay on the way out. Felt very comfortable sitting by myself. Will definitely visit again

Ate some lovely ginger cake with tea with my wife today, really friendly lady served us as we sat looking at the marina next to us. Lovely and we Will be back :)

Came here for a coffee after waiting ages and ages for a table at the Scullery. Service at the Snow Goose was as usual excellent, Place was clean and coffee was great

Pop in here about every two weeks and thoroughly enjoying.Same order each time,mug of black coffee for me and tea for my wife with warmed cheese scones.The quality of the scones never varies,always spot on.The girls serving always have a smile and a nice greeting.Yes,the plates are cleared as soon as we finish but isn't this a good thing?Can recommend the Snow Goose to anyone.

Called in to The Snow Goose for a quick lunch and I wasn't disappointed - delicious panini and salad with great selection of beverages! Hot spiced apple juice highly recommended- fantastic aspect overlooking the marina. Lots of outside provision to enjoy the sun and vibe too; highly recommended are the cakes and scones! An angel must bake them; the marzipan scone is to die for and the cakes are just exceptional.

I would love to know where the maps came from and how they were converted to rolls of wallpaper. No one in the cafe knew.

Staff welcoming and helpful. Ate inside on this visit and surroundings comfortable. Food good and service prompt.

Once a small cafe in the marina it now has seating areas extended outside and down to the harbour itself. Great coffee and cake and friendly locals.

Great venueCatch the sun sitting at the outdoor tables.Menu goodGood portion sizes and mid region cost.Parking goodGreat viewsStaff aok.

Good coffee and staff only thing that was a little predictable menu wise had a panini with crisps it was fresh and tasty. Setting is also nice so ended up back a couple of days later for a takeaway hot chocolate to enjoy as I watched the boats

We were looking for somewhere with easy access and parking and read about The Snow Goose in the reviews so we decided to give it a try.Easy parking as it was raining and we had a baby with us.Very friendly staff, and the food came quickly BUT two of us ordered Quiche Lorraine and got celery and Stilton instead, woops! It didn't really matter as it was delicious but the salad was just one piece of tomato and a bit of lettuce with a little dish of mayonnaise. It could have been a bit more on the plate and where was the coleslaw? You always get coleslaw with salad! I appreciate lots of people do leave the salad so maybe that's why they only give you a small amount.We all had the homemade lemon cake served warm with thick cream. Not for the dieters.Caffe Latte was lovely.It was about £24 for three of us which I thought was great value for money and we will certainly go back there.

Heard about the tea cake with cinnamon butter and had to give it a try. Very good and also do nice scones.They do quiche and a selection of sandwiches. One was ham and pease pudding, not something I've seen much on menus. Also noticed they do fresh crab sandwiches which I must go back to try.Nice location at Sunderland Marina in Roker with free parking right outside. Service was very good.

Amazing service ladies, Great job, Greater service, I will be coming again. Enough said. P.s. carrot cake is to die for!!

Popped in for tea, and had a toastie. Huge pot of tea, tasty toastie and friendly service. Nice place to sit and enjoy a snack in the sun.

Went down as the sun was shining and it was lovely and warm. Nice large seating area over looking the marina. Service very efficient and staff very pleasant. Mam ordered corned beef pie- which was amazing, large portion topped with mash, & came with salad, crisps and pickle on the side, mam was very impressed, & I ordered cheese and ham toastie-lovely and 2 cappuccinos which were good. Nice varied menu, cant fault the staff or the cafe itself. Lovely seating area inside for when the weather is not so good, but it is very homely. Cant wait to go back.

Nice coffee although please inform your staff espresso comes in a tiny cup, it's a single shot of coffee, it doesn't come in a mug Shame the manageress / owner thinks she can show you up in front of other customers because I moved my chair slightly into the sunCome and have a quiet word, don't tell me off like I'm a 5 year old!!!!!

Lovely atmosphere, busy but staff very efficient and friendly. Have fab padded seats for little ones, rather than high chairs, much less cumbersome. Food always yummy.

The Snow Goose is a great place to meet up for chat and a snack. In fine weather it is great to sit outside and enjoy the views of the marina. The staff are super friendly, helpful and attentive. (We sat outside and we certainly weren't forgotten about.) Inside is cosy and pleasant but can get quite busy. If you are out on a bike ride along the coast the Snow Goose is very convenient to drop in for refreshments.

joined our best friends for coffee here yesterday, I can understand that on a sunny day the location would be beautiful overlooking the Marina at Roker. The cafe was clean and well presented. We found the service to be good, and the coffee and cakes were very nice. However, I think that as the cakes are home made they should be displayed for customers to chose, we opted for the raspberry and white chocolate tray bake which was delicious it was served warm with fresh cream.One of our friends had egg served on a muffin.There is quite a range of snacks on offer both savoury and sweet and the staff were very efficient. We will definitely call again on a sunny day

Not the largest of places but delightful home cooked fresh food. Staff are very friendly and chatty.

Had the most delicious corned beef pie,ever! Thin tasty pastry ,a generous amount of filling and topped with mashed potato. Served with side salad and a small pot of pickle. I also had a lovely apricot and ginger scone. Could not fault the food and the service was fast and courteous.Will definitely be returning .

Or 6 days a week if Im not cycling on Sundays. Simply the best staff you will find in any cafe. Great food coffee and cakes to die for.

My self and my fiancee visited the Snow Goose today and were totally horrified by the way a worker spoke to an elderly customer. The elderly customer forgot her pin code 3 times and i was so disgusted to hear the way in which the waiter spoke to her, "You have blocked the machine now and will have to go and contact your bank" this was uncalled for and i was furious that this lady who was alone was spoken to in this manner! The waiters have no customer service skills, they do not even look at you when you order, obviously do not know how to smile or remember it is the customers that are paying their wages! We will not be visiting the cafe again after today. Find some where else to enjoy a cuppa if i were you!

Visiting this little gem we found was well worth it.After a long walk myself and husband stopped off here for a cuppa.They have a lovely choice of foods on the menu.We just opted for afternoon sandwiches.They came well filled and fresh.Will be doing a revisit soon!.Service with a smile always.Thanks to all.

Fascinating setting by the marina, lots of interesting comings and goings. Good food, well served and eaten outside, weather permitting. Access by car but not too far from main road with a bus route

Met an ex-work colleague here this morning. The Snow Goose staff had very kindly dropped the wind to a breeze, moved a few clouds to allow the sun through and saved me a table outside. So far, so good. The company was superb, of course, but the comestibles? Well, outstanding to say the least. Round One was a Latte and a Cheese / Ham / Pesto Panini and for my accomplice, Tea and a Cinnamon Tea Cake. Faultless! All was well so Round Two was another pot of Tea for Herself and for me, Latte No. 2 and a slice of Apple and Blackberry Frangipane. Good Good, it was spot on. Served by engaging and well presented staff, the whole experience was excellent. That explains why the place was packed. And the bill of a tad over £16 was fantastic value. Go again? If I am in the general area, I wouldn't waste my time anywhere else.
