Really good! We stopped by for a quick takeaway, great coffee (non-dairy milk available) and we also had a very delicious pistachio cake. Nice atmosphere and service, packaging was eco-friendly and the price was very good for the quality offered!

I’ve driven past this place for years and noticed it had changed from a pub to a coffee shop. I decided to stop and give it a go. Very nice place, only had a tea and a toasted teacake this time but will stop here again some time for something a bit more substantial.

Charming coffee shop in a former inn. The owners have retained the character of the old building, and made a cosy and welcoming cafe. Great food and coffee - we can recommend the waffles.

We had a beautiful mix of cream teas and ploughman’s lunches today followed by cake carousels for a family 70th Birthday. Service was swift and nothing too much trouble giving us a home from home experience with excellent coffee and soothing peppermint tea and relaxed atmosphere for informal get together on a wet Tuesday lunch time.
