Amazing food at really good prices. Owners are so nice and really helpful. Great for those with allergies, all allergies clearly listed on menu. Special board regularly changed and offer amazing choice. Visit regularly now for breakfast and lunch. Had my baby shower here in the conservatory and it was such a pretty venue, the afternoon tea was delicious and the servers looked after us all brilliantly. Would recommend the large breakfast, American breakfast and the mango pineapple cooler!

When we arrived at 1.30 all the tables were occupied and we were told there was a 30 minute wait on food. We chose to wait so we browsed the attached garden centre and returned at 2pm when a table was available. Ordered a ploughman's and a poached eggs on toast. Drinks came within 5 mins, food about 15 mins. Ploughman's was plentiful - ham, cheese, pork pie, salad, pickle and bread on a wooden platter. Poached eggs nicely cooked on buttered toast. A nice little bistro that you wouldn't know was there.

Went here for a friend's birthday. Had a pre-ordered afternoon tea in the conservatory. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Finger sandwiches, sausage roll, cakes, scone, jam and cream. I had dietary requirements that were given to the chef, gluten and dairy free being two of them. He was spot on with producing a suitable and inventive afternoon tea for me. Will definitely be going again now I know he keeps gluten free bread, cakes etc in stock. The bistro is part of a small garden and craft centre complex, so worth a visit to have a look at locally made crafts, antique collectibles , and art shop amongst others.
