Diane was absolutely amazing, super helpful, really kind and affable - she tried to help as much as possible. It was such a pleasure to buy a huge amount of reality scrumptious cake from her :)

Spent a very pleasant hour here yesterday. So much to choose from, filled panini or baguette (large & tasty!) snacks, baked potatoes, full meals, huge slices of gorgeous cakes, proper tea & coffee..... All swiftly served by very pleasant, smiling folks. Child friendly, dog friendly, a lovely, unhurried experience. Thank you, see you soon!
