My big burger was hard and dry, but the salad and chips, etc very nice. Everybody at the table really enjoyed their lunch and they were very generous helpings. We would come again and I would just order something else.

Love this place, the coffee is excellent, the service and food to a high standard and they are very welcoming to my dogs. The only gripe is I would like a few vegan options or veggie ones that can be veganised. Highly recommended as a all-weather venue though.

I was very impressed with the care taken to seat my disabled companion so that she was comfortable, her walker was out of the way, no one was bumping into her, and she didn't have to apologise for taking up too much space .... which is what she is usually forced to do.

We had a team lunch today and we managed to book an outdoor table. Food was great and staff were friendly and helpful. Food was served pretty quickly. Everyone was happy with their food. And we were able to pay separately. Perfect for bringing the team here for lunch. Will come back next time.

The food was very tasty and very good! I will go back next time to try other delicacies. We come from City. The only thing I hope is that the food is not too burnt. Of course everyone has different tastes. You can try asking the guest how much they need. Thank you

Everything was excellent. The noise levels are not your fault . People just seem to talk far too loudly, not sure why. I have been many times, and always like the fact that you have an indoor or outdoor choice. And that if you book, there is always a place to be. The staff are always very pleasant indeed .The food is always fresh and lovely and imaginative and well presented . Thank you so much, Marguerite
