Absolutely lovely tearoom greeted always with a warm welcome. Bright, clean and cosy surroundings - Ideal place for a catch up. Breakfasts, lunches and cakes leave you wanting for more. Never rush you along when they are extra busy. Home from home. It’s a ten from Den!

Thank you to the staff there, they make it, so lovely and food cooked as you order. Cakes are scrummy.

First time visit today, sat outside and had a small English breakfast, it was delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Small play area for 2-8 year olds, which my grandchildren enjoyed. Lovely place hidden away, but around the corner from us. We'll be back. Toilet facilities. Disable friendly.

Came as a party of 9, mix of adults and children to celebrate Fathers Day with their new ploughman's lunch afternoon tea. On arrival was greeted warmly, the food consisted of ham, cheeses, bread rolls, homemade sausage rolls , scotch egg and pork pie and pickles followed by scone, jam and cream, food was plentiful and absolutely delicious, tea was topped up regularly when requested. Staff were very friendly welcoming and accommodating, all in all extremely good value for money and a very enjoyable afternoon, would definitely come again and would recommend .
