I visited some weeks ago and was surprised that my first visit was some 10/11 years ago when it had recently been taken on by its current owner. Not changed much and still provides decent food at a decent price and the owner always seems welcoming. It would be unfair to describe it as a quaint country tea room but it is pleasant and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Really cute cafe with VERY reasonable prices for bigger size portions. Lovely service the woman came to give our doggie treats. Glad we went here rather than the other busier places more in the centre of the village!
