Award winning, quirky paint your own pottery cafe filled with plenty of creative activities for adults and children. A good selection of pottery items to choose from before painting it how you like, maybe a hand and footprint of your baby/child, decopatch anything from photo frames to piggy banks. Indulge yourself with delicious home made cake and artisan teas and barista coffees. We have two studio rooms, one on the first floor and the party room on the second floor, so plenty of seating for everyone.

We called in for a tea and cake on a wet afternoon. What a delightful place. Lovely pot of real tea and yummy cakes beautifully served with china teapot, cups and plates. A family were painting mugs and clearly enjoying themselves, unfortunately as we were only passing through we didn’t have time to join them. It’s a tiny place on 3 floors and they might do better to make it clear outside that there is plenty of seating, and they don’t do only takeaways.

A cosy shop front turned into a micro bar, serving draught ale and lager, bottled beers, spirits and mainly GIN, 87 different gins and counting. The Keep prides itself on its warm and inviting atmosphere, and we invite you to come and join us for a drink or seven.

Great atmosphere, delightful staff, wonderful environment and fabulous gin! Only thing that would improve it is for it to be able to be bigger, like the tardis! Love this place, always a good time.

Lots of free parking, a shop selling all things donkey and nice staff. This sanctuary caters for about 150 donkeys and relies on donations etc to allow it to do it's valuable work. Definitely worth a visit and lots of donkeys to pat and photograph.

A huge range of history here from dinosaurs to factory there is something for everyone. The staff all around the museum are incredibly friendly and seem to really enjoy answering any questions. As well as great exhibits and displays a lot of it is interactive so your kids can get stuck in too.

Wallingford tea rooms were a by chance discovery after an enjoyable browse round the wide variety of antiques in the Lamb arcade last Saturday afternoon. Newly sited in the courtyard at the back it was a lovely space to enjoy and the grilled goats chese and bettrot salad a mouthwatering treat. All served on beautifully laid tables with pleasant and attentive young staff. Thankyou

A great place to spend an hour or so looking at these wonderful cars and the history behind them. Excellent presentation in a lovely old barn. Although fairly small, there's lots to see and to interest anyone interested in the this iconic car.
