Had breakfast here this morning on back of other reviews. Was excellent. Really good quality food, well cooked and good service. Coffee was best I’ve had in a long time and wife had pot of tea which gave her four cups of tea. Lovely setting and really nice cafe. Would add my recommendation to others and would definitely call again if in area

We were staying locally so I emailed ahead and they reserved a table for us for breakfast for my husbands 50th. Everyone was extremely friendly, food was delicious, just a perfect start to the day.

Nice location with outside seating. Staff very friendly & helpful. Great tea & cake. A couple of Gluten Free cake options and GF bread available, pity their chips aren't. Worth visiting the shops on site too and take in the amazing tree on the front lawn.

Very busy cafe along the main trunk road to Devon/Dorset. Medium size carpark, fairly easy to find. Large restaurant that's always busy serving tasty fresh food. Well recommended. We sat outside because it was lovely and sunny. Inside was very busy to get there early to make sure you get a table.

Big shout out for the new autumn menu - you don't get more seasonal than Maple Roasted Pumpkin Salad with a Maple and Hazelnut Latte chaser! The super-abundant ploughman's is my preferred go-to - so much tasty salad along with the cheese and ham - and our seven-strong party were equally thrilled by the paninis (Buffalo Chicken, and Bacon-Brie-Cranberry). There was a great buzz in the cafe while we were there, and lots of energy. The staff were friendly and delightful, as always, and the food arrived quickly despite it being a busy lunchtime. Plenty of parking, and one member of our group was grateful for the copious disability parking right by the cafe.

Came here for a birthday lunch and we were so impressed! The paninis were absolutely delicious and the drinks were nice and hot. I think we’ve found our new favourite cafe!
