Great restaurant with a good choice of hot food. Staff were friendly and the service was prompt. It wasn't too busy midweek.

Not a great deal.of selection on food however everyone's ideas of what they like to eat is different Mainly ready made sandwiches, cakes, baked potatoes, soup and a roll, toasties That sort of food A little overpriced on the food 8.50£ for a toasties... ham and cheese with a small portion of salad and coleslaw I noticed one choice for vegan 1 choice for children Although I wasn't paying close attention to the vegan menu Clean place, place your order at the till and they will bring it to your table

This was a really nice National Trust cafe, it was large with lots of seating inside. There was lots of choice of cakes including vegan options. Service was quick and efficient.
