About

Offering: A collection Service

Our café/restaurant has gained a reputation for high quality, freshly prepared food, served with a smile in a homely setting. We have a fantastic menu selection with daily/seasonal specials, including our award winning breakfast, which is a celebration of our home produced products including our free range eggs, home produced sausage, black pudding and bacon!

The selection in the cafe ranges from simple, yet tasty sandwiches to a three course meal with all the food being home produced. There is no need to book for a table just pop along and the café will assist with table requirements.  Dogs are welcome in the beautiful courtyard area, but not in the current inside dining area.  We are working on building a new dining area where dogs will be permitted inside which we hope will be completed in Autumn 2024.

Our menu offers a good selection for special dietary requirements and as meals are prepared on site our staff would be able to check regarding any allergy information or special information that may be requested.
