Back to the Garden

Nice place but staff in the restaurant are very slow… very nearly walked out.

What a pleasant surprise for lunch. Polite and attentive staff, well presented premises with pride. All complemented by exceptional home made food.

Lovely meat and apples 👍

The last time I visited a month ago I was served a piece of cake like this which was flat on the plate. Should I have complained Yes but my husband said No. Very disappointed. A month on and we visited again today. The place was not at all busy. We sat in the garden and ordered coffee and cake. Five minutes later we were served coffee in takeaway cups because they had run out of cups? 25 minutes later we had to go and ask for our cakes. Service very poor and yet again another disappointing visit.

Lovely cafe with great food and great service. Dog friendly as well.

Great evening. Music very good. Service excellent. Burgers were very good and a great price. Overall a lovely night. Hope there a many more.

We visited the cafe with friends who live locally. From the outside it looked lovely. We had a reservation for breakfast at 9: 30 on a Sunday morning. There was only us and another table sat at this time, within half hour the place was much busier. We waited half hour for our drinks to be bought out, my friends coffee was stone cold so she took it back to the counter to be remade. We sat and watched table after table get served their food whilst we still waited. Eventually my friend went and spoke to female host/supervisor who said our food was coming and we had waited so long because tables of two get served before tables of four, also they were very short staffed and under pressure. Which is absolutely ludicrous, we had order three sausage baps and eggs on toast. Food eventually was served at 10: 30. The food was average. We spoke to a manager after we paid the bill, who apologised and told us he was the new manager and had been placed to “sort things out” Well hopefully it gets sorted soon because it’s a lovely venue and could be nice if they sort out their service.

Lovely place. Staff mostly very nice. Good service. But we felt the fish dish was quite overpriced. Is this worth £26.50? A medium sized piece of Gurnard ( with 3 bones in), 3 cherry tomatoes, a small amount of samphire and 2 leaves of chard(?) One of which was a very tough stalk. I don't think so. Surely some new potatoes could be added. Sauce was apparently delicious though. And the other dish? I can't recall what they named it but it was a sort of bruschetta/ foccaccia with 'macerated' tomatoes. Very nice, but it would have been easier to eat if the tomatoes had been cut up smaller. A whole quarter of an heirloom tomato doesn't balance easily on a piece of foccaccia, however well it has been macerated. Lovely coffee.

I've often driven past this place but didn't stop off until recently. The food on the deli counter looked great, but was bland and not befitting of the inflated price! I bought pork pies, sausage rolls and a meat quiche. All were dry, lacking in flavor and generally disappointing. There were a few nice things available in the shop, but the deli is very poor. Left me feeling like driving past is the better option.

Very disappointing breakfast this morning. Service slow. Coffee was good but had finished before breakfast arrived. No checking if everything ok. Non communicative staff. Black pudding burnt poached eggs solid. No asking if you’d like anything else. Won’t be returning for breakfast! Cakes looked lovely though!!

Lovely lunch spot, good caesar salad. Indoor seating and also a large garden area with different sections, seating options and shady areas. Charming shop and deli/butcher section. Delicious strawberries!! Definitely worth the stop!
