    We were really well looked after. We had a 2 year old with us and the staff were great with her. The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I'm delighted with any restaurant that has 2 vegan mains to choose from!

    Great centrally located venue. Nice wind in the willows theme. Food was pretty poor. For a breakfast it was more Morrisons cafe than Toad of toad hall! Disappointing
    Badger & CoResponded on 6 February 2025
    Peter, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're sorry to hear that your recent breakfast experience fell short of expectations. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We regret not having the opportunity to address this during your visit and would have been more than happy to replace your meal or offer an alternative from our main menu.
