So, what a BIG disappointment this place was!Firstly we saw nice fresh cheese scones on the counter and nice large slices of carrot cake in the display unit. We asked if we could have the cheese scones warmed with butter... "No" was the reply, "only if you buy them with the cheese and chutney " (An extra £1.50)!! So obviously we HAD to order with the higher calorie and price choice! Then the carrot cake, well although the slices on display were large and hence possibly worth the £2.95 the slice if carrot cake we ended up with was teeny in comparison! obviously hiding out of our sight that the assistant scooped hastily on to a plate capable of taking the FULL size version. Finally the Cappuccinos, well just not hot enough by a long way! By the time our warmed cheese scones arrived a few minutes later, the Cappuccinos were stone cold.This place use to be a favorite of ours, but no longer. ☹️.

I think this is a superb cafe - every time I have visited ( I am quite local) the staff are delightful and everything is so tasty - especially the cheese on toast !!

Wonderful experience

Myself and my family visited the cafe whilst visiting the cheese shop, to stock up on our favourite cheese. Unfortunately we were very much put off after having a coffee cup with lipstick on it. Although a member of staff apologised and made a fresh cup of coffee, I felt very uneasy about their cleanliness, and we didn't really eat our food.

We got the 4 piece cheeseboard which was VERY tasty, the service was a bit slow despite it not being too busy, but other than that we really enjoyed our time.
