Sunnyside Rural Trust | Hemel Food Garden — Restaurant in Dacorum

A secret treat..peaceful, lovely ladies run it. . But I mss the beautiful mishmash of colour and Indian/Afghani/ world art and items on sale. It has all gone and it is heartbreaking . The food is very underwhelming ie; sandwiches.. that are really just shop bought bread with simple fillngs. It would be better and more in Sanuk's history and vibe if they used artisan bread and imaginative fillings.. or offered a little bowl of market made olives etc; They still use the vintage mixed tea sets and you can have a variety of cakes, scones with jam n cream .. that's good. They are lovely, warm and welcoming and I am, of course, so glad it is still there, but it has lost it's magic.. it's very special and unique feeling that there was nowhere else like Sanuk. A positive observation is the way the outside has been expanded and it is pretty. It makes you buy the organic nursery plants, as you sit looking at them 🙄...makes ME buy them!

I was so tired when I was caring for my newborn twins and the original Sanuk, run by Anette and Sue used to take one baby each and allow me an hour or so to rest at Sanuk; 23 years ago.

I hear that Sanuk will be running small courses..arty crafty type. I am interested in teaching a self revealing or self concealing masque making class.😂

Maybe a new, and different magic will grow from the space there because of this new use; it needs to stand out.. it needs some special creative and unique quirkiness put back into it🙌⭐🪐

I visited Sunnyside Rural Trust | Hemel Food Garden, and it was such a lovely experience. I really enjoyed the fresh, locally sourced food — the sandwiches and salads were delicious and beautifully presented.

What I liked most is how welcoming and friendly the staff are. The shop has a nice selection of products, from fresh produce to pantry items, all supporting the local community.

It’s a peaceful spot to grab a bite to eat and do a bit of shopping at the same time. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for great food and a...

Popped in off the canal towpath to have a look around, such great plants available to buy, especially the variety of echinacea which I’ve never seen in any garden centres! There is a nice selection in the shop of food and natural house/toiletry products, many of which are packaged so nicely they would make a lovely gift. I wasn’t planning on eating here but their extremely chunky millionaire slice in the cafe caught my eye which I gladly enjoyed with a chai...
