Not the cheapest venue for morning tea, a snack or meal, but a very pleasant spot with delicious food and friendly service.

Lovely lunch here, gorgeous food, friendly staff and very dog friendly. Lovely interior too and lovely bits to buy in the little shop area. The staff gave the dogs lots of treats so they give 5 star review too!

This is the place to go for something different. The place is light and airy with plenty of space between the tables. The service is excellent. The menu gives you the opportunity to try something different. I really recommend this as a place to go and try.

We celebrated my Dad's 70th Birthday here and we were very well looked after. The food was delicious and staff so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend a visit.

Ok, it's great tasting food for sure, but can get a bit noisy when busy due to the wooden decorated design inside. But it gets busy because it's good. Always best to book. Cater for parties.

We had a pleasant meal here, on a lovely day outside. The souffle was delicious, although we would've preferred homemade chips. Minor thing really. Would recommend stopping.

Went with a friend, as were in the area visiting. Before you leave go next door to see the metal workshop, what a very clever and creative place.
