I really wanted to like this place. The venue set by the lake is lovely and the blazing log burner adds to the cozy atmosphere. We were served by a friendly waiter who was attentive throughout.
The coffee and the food was a major let down. The pizza (around ÂŁ12) was clearly low quality processed frozen pizza. The burger (around ÂŁ17.95) looked awful, again cheap patties that look like those served from a road side burger van. The chicken and mushroom tagliatelle was better than the rest but average at best. The waiter was apologetic when we raised the issue with the burger and removed it from our bill.
This could be a fantastic cafe/restaurant with a huge following but poor quality ingredients have desperately let the place down. I hope that this is addressed so that we can enjoy visiting again at some point...

Took 30 minutes for our starter to arrive, in total it took 2 hours 45 minutes for a 3 course meal, the service is very very slow, food servings small, so small we had 1 small plate of veg with our meals, between 6 adults, the table of 2 next to us had the same size plate of veg... The chicken strips as a starter, consisted of 1 lettuce leaf, 1 tomato, half a slice of cucumber and 3 child like size chicken strips, how that took so long to arrive???. The deserts between 6 adults range from Sticky toffee pudding and a brownie, neither of them had any taste.
With such a great location, it is such a shame that the food lets it all down.
We hoped the food had improved since last May while attending a wedding, but it had not. Sorry, we won't be returning or...
   Read moreDisappointed with my first visit here especially as my wife raved about it, don't get me wrong the setting is beautiful but the food and service let it down. I had the Cod goujons which were OK but like something from Iceland, certainly nit home made, the several fries I had would be suitable for any child's meal but certainly not an adult, the salad was pathetic and the peas were dried up to within an inch of their lives. Once the 45min wait for food was over we didn't see another waiter for drinks or checked if the meal was ok or if we needed anything like tartar sauce or any other condements as there werent any on the table as you can see its not like it was overly busy. On the whole the visit was poor which was disappointing as I really had high hopes for such a...
