Exceptional service to the point they were more than happy to make a small change to a meal due to allergies. The food was really good and the space itself was lovely and open.

Good choice of well made food in beautiful setting. Visited today, exterior and interior doors to café both in wide-open position allowing the chilly wind to blow around the tables. The café has had a recent refurbishment but the tables still wobble. One other point, tables too close together , making it dangerous weaving one's way through them to your chosen table with a heavily laden tray.
