Popped in here while using the car park for the model village for some hot drinks and cakes/scones which were all really nice and reasonable price. Staff very friendly. Free garden to walk around with plenty of gnomes to look at!

Nice for a general lunch , however not enough veggie or vegan food offered on the reduced menu , also would be good to know where their ingredients are sourced ,are they local ? Free range ? Do they support local farmers ,producers ?????

Large free car park in congested village! Public service 5 stars right there. Queue and service both took a little while but it was busy, everything was prepared to order and it was delivered with a smile; don't go at lunchtime midsummer if you're in a hurry. The food quality, and as such the value for money, was very good! Fresh homemade quiche was indeed fresh and served with a nicely dressed, nicely presented, side salad. Children's lunch was designed and plated by someone who understands children; little things like prepping fruit and having snacks in open bowls make a child's lunch immediately accessable (ideal for hangry child). I didn't try any other eatery in gods hill but didn't see anything to make me regret my choice. I didn't have cake as I didn't want to queue again but it looked really good. I'd definitely go back.I'd encourage the staff to review the ordering and drinks prep to see how they could make this a bit slicker to get the queue down.

Very slow service, even though plenty of staff. Cream tea nearly £6 each and scones were overcooked, very dry and could only eat the insides. They need to up their game if they are going to survive at this time. Was supposed to be a birthday treat but extremely disappointed. When mentioned to staff the reply was "they are fresh today". Covid signage hidden behind open door so nobody knew the advice given, hence no social distancing or people leaving details for track and trace
