    Great place for a catch-up with some friends. Perfect day and the food was so good. Service is excellent and you can have a wander around after eating checking out the shop and garden.

    Food was excellent, prices on the slightly higher side but happy to pay a bit more for perfect eggs & well cooked bacon! It was a little loud inside for older ears but that was minor. Jai's service was excellent & nothing was a hassle for him..thanks for taking our pic!
