"Nice food and reasonably priced. There can be a little wait for hot food when busy, but the staff will usually let you know when ordering. Their toasties are definitely worth the wait either way!"

"Great little cafe to grab a light bite or to eat. With we'll presented food. With nice choice off the menu at very reasonable prices. Ideal in winter for a restbite from the cold or wet weather. Nice and cool in summer. With free parking for the dedicated bird and wildlife watchers. But everyone is welcome."

"Lively cafe full of bird watchers and their scopes and kit. Great coffee and wonderful array of cakes. Great hot food selection. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Plenty of toilets including disabled. Lift for disabled to the cafe on the first floor. Disabled parking spaces, but a little bit of a walk from car park to shop/cafe. Friendly staff."

"We both had a coffee which was brought to our table on a tray by a friendly lady and with very little delay. I also had a piece of coconut flapjack which was delicious. The cafe is very clean and well maintained with easily accessible toilets on the same floor."

"It’s been a while since we visited the cafe, I think there were some changes in personnel a little while ago and it lost its way. But today I remembered how lovely the space is. The welcome we received was so warm that we will be certain to return. The menu is a little more limited than before but I’d rather that and have excellent atmosphere and service. Had a very tasty toasted teacake and nice coffee."
