“Visited the cafe for breakfast. Good quality, but a little disappointing for the hefty price. Eggs were rock hard, they are supposed to have a runny centre.Bacon was luke warm & dry, clearly been cooked and kept for a while. Also annoying was the number of people who turned up and used the outside tables to consume their own food and drink so customers of the cafe had nowhere to sit.”

“Always a good day when we come here. Parking is on the expensive side, over £2 for 1 hour. Can't remember if it was £2.20 or £2.50. Kids love it here. My grandad passed away last month and we used to come here with him alot. We even celebrated his 80th birthday here during covid. We came last weekend to remember grandad and share memories with a nice walk around the lake.”

“A great café, serving a good selection of basic food. And it is air conditioned, which was a real joy on what must have been one of the hottest days of the year!”

“fantastic breakfast The toilets need money spent on them. The door does not lock. They run out of toilet paper. The hand dryer doesn’t work properly. I gave him five out of 5 for food five out of 5 for service and five out of 5 for atmosphere what let them down? Is there toilets? That’s why overall they get four stars they need to redo the toilets.”

“Lovely time at the park with my daughter and granddaughter. Play park is really good. Plenty of tables for picnics. Park is well maintained. Lots of parking but quite expensive. Nice cafe, with reasonable prices for drinks and ice creams.”
