Nice Sunday Lunch, Nice Pint of Fosters

An amazing cafe! Very friendly staff and great coffee. Can't thank the wonderful John at the bike hire enough, spent a perfect day in the local hills on some of John's very well maintained emtbs. Smashing fun! Will be back very soon.

Good range of beers. Lovely beer garden

Wonderful cafe with warm, friendly and helpful staff. Superb selection of cakes, largest choice of gluten free cakes of any cafe I’ve visited and very delicious. Tea served in hot mugs, a nice touch was the timer for the correct brewing time for the loose leaf tea in a teapot. Dog friendly and will use a Polaroid to put a picture of your dog on the wall of fame! The breakfast menu looked delicious and we will be returning. The price was very fair- I don’t live in the 1950’s as a really miserable previous reviewer does!

Stopped here last night for something to eat after filling up at the petrol station on site. It was 5:45pm, the lady in the forecourt told me I should hurry up because it closes promptly at 6pm. After entering the cafe, there were already other diners either eating or waiting to order. Great I thought. Upon ordering I got a serious feeling of not being welcome. The lady taking the order presumed I wanted a take away. I apologised for the lateness but would rather eat in. There did seem to be a communication problem, she either deliberately ignored me or it didn't suit her that I wanted to eat in. My food was prepared by another lady, who didn't seem to be bothered about having to prepare another dinner, in fact she was very helpful. Upon chatting to the second lady, I discovered she was actually the owner.she was a nice lady and because of her, I am prepared to give this cafe a second visit. I'm guessing I caught the first lady on a bad day.

Staying locally and was within walking distance so decided to give it a try. Bit dubious as I have several allergies, but they couldn't have been more accommodating. The food was absolutely top notch; well presented, fresh, tasty and piping hot. The service was friendly and attentive despite how busy they were. Book in advance to avoid disappointment, you definitely won't be disappointed!! Highly recommend 👌

I would highly recommend taking a trip to lord stones . The food was delicious. The staff were great. Especially Adam. Nothing was too much for him. He was friendly, professional. Definitely an assett to them!!!!

My husband and I booked in with friends for Sunday lunch today and quite frankly the service and the food was appalling. The young lad who took our order was surly and unfriendly. We waited nearly an hour for our food which was over cooked and horrible when it arrived. The meat and roast potatoes ( which were so overcooked they were dried out and crispy) were served with no veg or gravy. We eventually had to go to the bar and ask for the veg which came in a small square pot which wouldn’t have been enough for one person never mind the three of us who had ordered the roast dinner. The veg was also over cooked and tasteless. Meanwhile the rest of the meal had gone cold. Even the dessert I had of a chocolate sundae was off. Never again…

On Monday 11th November 2024,my partner and I after walking several miles over the moors went to the cafe at approximately 1525hrs for coffee tea etc,on arrival there were several cars in the car park and we went into the cafe ,followed by another couple behind us. There were people eating and drinking ,however a bloke from behind the counter stated they were shut (despite the website stating 4pm closure) I explained we were just after a hot drink ,but again he stated they were shut. I asked what time they had actually shut,he replied " anytime between 3 and 4 in winter" We left very disappointed as did the couple who had just driven there and followed us in. Won't go there again in case you decide yo shut early!!!

We were recommended to stop off here by our hosts at our Airbnb when we left. As it was Sunday breakfast time we thought this might be nice. We definitely wasn’t disappointed! A lovely cafe set in pretty surroundings and friendly staff with gorgeous food. I had a “starter” breakfast (bacon, sausage, egg and tomato on sour dough toast with a pot of tea and my husband had a sausage sandwich with a fried egg and an americano coffee with hot milk. Both came freshly cooked and tasted delicious. We thought the prices were very reasonable and very friendly service. Such a gem of a cafe! Glad we came. My husband visited the toilets too and said they were extremely clean. I’d recommend this cafe highly if you’re in the area … we were staying in Carlton so very close by. Fab cafe!
