I started working upstairs from the Cafe about two months ago, and I will be sorry to leave this location. The food is fresh, tasty and prepared on site. Always greeted with a smile and the staff are very friendly.

Without a shadow of doubt, the best soup I’ve ever had. Full of lovely flowers, seeds, chunky veggies. Will be very happy to return. Thanks again. My colleague had the chicken salad sandwich, and said best chicken salad around.

Very comfortable and scenic setting. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is mostly pre made but fresh and tasty. I had a toastie in the morning and a flat bread for lunch. The coffee was good as well.

Good range of dishes including Subway style make your own sandwich/roll. Coffee was good although the friand I had was a tad dry. I am sure the other baked goods were good though.
