I’d rather you didn’t go so there is a table for me!! What a fabulous gem of a restaurant alongside a lovely farm shop. There are two sections to the restaurant. A conservatory, which is available for use with your 4 legged friends. And then an indoor restaurant. The staff were efficient and friendly. The choice of food was good and prices were fair. We each had a toastie and it came with salad, slaw and crisps! Plenty to eat! BUT……. You need to keep room for dessert! On the day we went there were at least 20 choices of cakes, slices and other goodies. And they are big!!! My mum and her friend split a cream meringue and even split it was HUGE!! The kitchen staff have to be praised. The quality of their food and the speed things came out. They must be a finely tuned machine! Well done!! Is there any downside. Not down just a caution. The conservatory is not fully enclosed, it’s all glass but has gaps around all the panels. So if it’s cold outside, you might find it chilly. They take reservations and I would book if I was going during a popular time and I wanted an inside table. I hope you love this place as much as we did!!
We visited the Cafe for coffee and cake today, the place was packed which is usually a good sign! We ordered 2 cappuccinos, a banoffee pie and lemon meringue pie. When cappuccinos arrived, the waitress spilt one all over the saucer and no replacement was offered, a napkin was presented for us to wipe it up! They were watered down white coffees with no foam! The banoffee pie, well where do I start. The toffee sauce was only around the outside of the pastry and the case was mainly empty give or take a few small slices of banana. The lemon meringue pie had barely any lemon sauce again an empty case and very dry. Overall very poor and that’s not the first bad experience we have had here. There is cost cutting and cost cutting, really poor show and it cost £18! We will definitely not be back and would not recommend!
Hubster had the roast sirloin Sunday dinner with a side of onion rings. He was very happy with his choice. The onion rings are always amazing! I had the Cullen Skink with brown bread and a side of coleslaw. All very tasty but a couple of decent chunks of haddock would have been nice. The service is always incredibly quick and friendly. We bought two of their legendary strawberry tarts to eat later at home.
This is a great facility with facilities for all including pets. Very good food with an imaginative menu and a lovely shop with lots of goodies. But….boy does it need staff training! I was shocked to see a young girl plate up the chips with her bare hands and then watched her and colleagues eat chips at the pass. This is unacceptably poor hygiene and needs addressed I wouldn’t return.
