“Was a really nice place to potter around too. Beautiful place to enjoy a chill afternoon. We also got the fresh milk outside the tearooms, which was so yummy! Recommend a visit definitely.”
Another reviewer said: “Visited over the weekend for a late lunch. It is always really busy, especially so on a sunny day; however, the staff always do their best to get you seated and served as quickly as possible.
“I opted for the lasagne, which was amazing, and the homemade chips are always a huge hit!
“The portions are pretty big, but itβs always worth making space for one of their cakes. I had lemon on this occasion and it was unreal!”
