A brilliant gem of a cafe. With a concise but well carried out menu and plenty of cake! The staff are very friendly and relaxed which makes the whole experience that much nicer. The Bakewell is the best around!

We had the best sunday roast today for a very long time! I had beef and my husband had pork. The meat was plentiful tender and tasty. The cauliflower cheese was delightful and the roast potatoes were crisp and yummy, the red cabbage was super flavoursome. There was also plenty of gravey. What a find, we will definitely be heading back very soon. Thanks guys!

Welcoming atmosphere. Dog friendly which is great. The breakfast was one of the best I have had anywhere. Decent amount of food and perfectly cooked. And only 7.50 which included tea or coffee. Absolute bargain. Definitely recommended. Will be stopping in next time we’re passing.
