This is literally just up the road from me and I finally popped in that restrictions lifted a little and they have reopened. A wonderful warm welcome by the guy in the till. I explained it was my first visit he explained the place, gallery, gardens, outdoor seating etc. Also explained the menu. I just grabbed takeaway but the lemon tart was amazing. Not too bitter and the most perfect base. Coffee excellent. Ambience and gardens superb. A menu based on local and their own grown produce. I'll definitely be back with family in tow. I've read a few of the reviews, I'm a big TripAdvisor fan but unfortunately use it more for myself than I do leaving well deserved reviews. Please note if someone has something terrible to say and its their first time to ever leave a reviews this is SUSPECT. So you never use TripAdvisor but all of a sudden you are straight on to slate a place? From seeing these in the past my best guess is its the competition or disgruntled staff or just @ssholes !! Please read my other reviews im the first to dish out criticism when its deserved but this place....no way!!! 5 stars all the way. Delighted I tried it, ill be a regular now, keep me a seat in the sun!
