I went for breakfast with a group of friends and their children last Sunday and had a great time. The staff were very friendly and I don't think I have ever been to such a child friendly cafe before. Great kids menu, the back garden is very quaint and the kids left us adults alone as they were happy enough playing in the sandpit and kicking a ball around. My husband had the big breakfast and it looked very impressive, I went for the eggs benedict and it was delicious. All the meals were well presented, we all really enjoyed sitting under the huge tree drinking the great coffee.
Very surprised to see the previous two reviews - we have been three times over the past couple of months, and loved it. The mushroom risotto is excellent and my husband always has the beef burger, thinks it one of the best burgers he's eaten and the homemade apple crumble is superb. Staff are friendly and kids are well catered for with their own menu and pencils/paper to entertain them. Highly recommended.
