I've been using the cafe every so often since soon after it opened. The food is generally quite simple, but definitely extremely good value. The cafe is staffed by volunteers and children from the local senior school who are earning a bit of money and gaining work experience. Taking this into account the service is excellent, I've generally found the staff to be responsive and polite. Even when the service hasn't been up to the usually good standard, I'm pretty sure I've had worse experiences from places with professional staff and when paying considerably more. Proud to have this in our village.

I've seen this cafe many times but have never been in. What a revelation. The grounds at the rear are beautiful. There's plenty of seating indoors and out. It's busy too. The café is located in the village hall, complete with a serving hatch and a number of tables. We ordered in a rather chaotic serving area but got our orders delivered to our tables outside very quickly. Staff are friendly too. Prices are below what you'd expect to pay in many other cafés. The rear garden is picturesque and perfect for a mid ride cafe stop. A real gem .

Lovely little village cafe which kicks out a decent breakfast. If your expecting a Michelin starred dining experience, turn around. The outdoor chairs are more suitable to those with inbuilt padding

Very welcoming staff, we all enjoyed the food and hospitality. 30+ of us turned up which didn't faze the staff at all. Well done!!
