Great food, service was really friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go again. One of the best Chai latte I’ve had.

Delicious brunch! Visited this morning for a quick bite to eat and we were sat straight down. The ordering process was efficient and the staff were friendly. The hot chocolate was the best I’d had in a long time and presented beautifully. I liked how festive the cafe was too - they had miniature pumpkins on each table and plenty of Halloween decorations. Food came very quickly and was of excellent quality - you get a decent amount of food for your money. Presentation and taste are clearly of high importance here! I’ll definitely be coming back soon

They serve incredible brunches every day past midday, not just at the weekend. Delicious food, well presented on a cosy barn with a log fire. Well worth a visit. I would say it's even better than the tin roof for breakfast/brunch!

Atmosphere is lovely, old barn style with a nice touch of wood burner. Food is delicious and served hot. Staff are very friendly; even though they said food may take a bit longer for kitchen to catch up, they were served quite fast. Would suggest to order the hash brown, it was a bit pricy though (4 for three hash browns but very tasty) This cafe is also dog-friendly!

Amazing breakfast. Eggs Benny ( aka eggs Benedict) were spot on , smashed avocado on sourdough very good and hash browns moreish. All in all - excellent place for breakfast or light lunch.

Great, dog-friendly brunch spot. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Located in an area with plenty of nice walks for after you finish your food. Can get busy on the weekend, best to make a reservation if you plan to go with a group of people.

Great cafe, uses lovely fresh ingredients and the service is very good. I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with a side of hash browns it was delicious and beautifully presented. It is a little more expensive than your average cafe but it’s an above average experience so well worth it.
