I love the Devonshire teas here. The cream is to die for, the scones are some of the best around and the jam has to be tasted to be believed. However, you would think that they had been in business long enough to have worked out how many diners they are expecting but no.....they keep running out! Not once, not twice but three times now we have been told that the soup is all finished and once it was barely 2 o’clock! They are so often out of crusty baguettes that I dare not ask for fear of disappointment and ordinary sandwiches are just not the same.

The specials board tells of tempting, tasting platters with roast veg and dips...so delicious. The soup when there is any left is served in huge bowls and is a hearty, wonderful meal in itself. If you are planning to have cake I would share a chicken and cheese baguette rather than fill up and miss out. The food is great but get in early.

There is plenty of parking down the back and they often feature local artist’s  work around the walls. This cafe is very family friendly and the eclectic mix of tables, chairs and lounges gives it a homely, quirky feel.
