Wasn’t too busy during the week when we came. Lots of outdoor and indoor seating. It is dog friendly too which is a plus. Menu is small and simple but ideal for a light lunch. We had jacket potato’s which were great! Can’t really fault them or the service so 5 stars is deserved.

Been a few times and enjoyed cakes and tea, hot chocolate and coffee. Compared to other outlets it is reasonably priced for the location and easy of getting something to eat and drink. Quality seems to vary depending on days and times we have visited and can be a long wait at weekends. Overall it is a nice place to get something whilst enjoying walk and has public toilets.
