Lovely little tearoom with simple menu does the job and quick food service. Needs separate card machine for both parts to speed up queuing times at events and someone making sure your guests have a place to eat. Little bit annoyed at customers still sitting at picnic benches eating there own food when people that brought food have to stand when there's a massive sign, should have been asked to move by the management. I'm a manager at at simular venue and would be asking such customers to move on.

Lovely little cafe here serving made to order sandwiches, jacket potatoes, toasties, cakes and hot/cold drinks. Have to say that the cappuccino and latte we had were the best we’ve tasted!!

Service was friendly, but we visited at 3.30pm and were served tea on paper cups and a scone and jam in a paper bag as they were closing at 4pm...bit strange. Even though the gardens weren't closing until 5pm the toilets were locked at 4.45pm!!

We called in to the tearooms, hoping to have a nice bowl of warm soup, but they only do sandwiches, cakes & light bites. This is not a criticism but something that may be considered for the future, especially on colder days. We had a lovely toasted teacake ( with locally made butter yummy)& hot drinks, served by very friendly & attentive staff .

It was an incredibly hot and busy day today so understandably there was a wait at the café. The staff, especially the young girls behind the till and serving, really kept their cool and did an amazing job dealing with so many customers. They are an absolute credit to the café. We had savoury cheese sandwiches, coronation chicken sandwiches and coffee cake. All were delicious!
