The cream tea was the main reason I went. The scones were warm and clearly homemade, which was nice. But for the price, I expected a bit more clotted cream and jam on the side. The portion felt a little light.

Tried it on a whim. Food&#39;s genuinely homemade, you can tell. The vibe is relaxed, perfect for a long catch-up, not a quick stop. Prices are a bit all over the place though.

The full English is cooked just right. Good value for money in town. Coffee could be a touch stronger for my taste.

The homemade scones were the standout. Served warm on a china plate, they had a perfect crumbly texture. The clotted cream was rich, and the strawberry jam tasted fresh, not overly sweet. The scone itself was light and buttery. A proper treat.

The sausage and onion quiche was the star here. Really generous slice, clearly just out of the oven. Flaky pastry and a nice, savoury filling. A solid choice for a quick lunch.

The gluten-free menu is a real find for coeliacs. Everything felt fresh and carefully prepared.

Cosy spot with a log fire, perfect for a chilly afternoon. The menu is massive though - so many sandwich and brunch choices it was hard to decide. Ended up with a classic club, which was solid. Could do with a few less options, honestly.
