Charming rural tea room in an pleasant surroundings. Plenty of seating and parking available. Good selection of menu items including specials. I chose egg benedict, which was perfectly cooked and prepared.

The food and the location are both wonderful. There is seating available both inside and outside. Complimentary parking is provided, and the menu offers a wide variety of choices. Highly recommend the curry. The nan bread was out of this world, and for desert the Biscoff cheesecake is a must.

I've enjoyed the food and drink here in the past. I'd arranged to meet a friend here at 4:30 pm - it never occurred to us that it would be closed by then!
