My severely disabled mother had her heart set on a trip to this cafe today for a coffee and cake while my dad was to go to the garden centre next door to purchase plants for the garden. All of this was put to rest when we were turned away almost before getting inside the door stating that the cafe was closed, even though the sign at the door clearly said that the cafe closed at 5pm and we arrived at half 4. Like it takes longer than half an hour to make a coffee and drink it! Although they weren't quite so keen to let us know they weren't going to be serving us that they couldn't step outside the premises to let us know before my dad had lifted my mum out of car into her wheelchair! Clearly absolutely not prepared to go the extra mile for the customer, even when that extra mile only consists of a couple of coffee cups extra washing up! Considering how difficult and time consuming it is for my mum to get ready and leave the house, it's disgusting that she should be deprived of a simple cup of coffee for her troubles. The company also lost out on close to a hundred pounds at the garden centre too, just to let them know where being so unhelpful gets you. It was a wonderful place to go to when it was The Little Versons with Julie and Pete, who for reference never turned us away no matter how close to closing...
Read moreEdit- would like ke to point out that the food and service is usually stellar, just unfortunate on this instance.
We've made it a little tradition the last 6 years to stop in for lunch Christmas eve. Unfortunately this year, very disappointed with the recent deterioration in quality of food and service. 40+ minute wait from ordering to the food arriving "cold" to the table, they are no longer willing to substitute and so you end up paying more for less food if you dont like a particular aspect of the dish. The nest brunch (£11.95 + £1.50 for a single slice of toast) consisted of a hash brown, half a tomato, a mushroom cap, two sausages and scrabled eggs as they had run out of bacon. The 'buttery' scrambled eggs of the brunch were bland and tasteless. The toastie (£8.95) had more food, crisps, a side salad, and a full toastie. Sorely disappointed. I hope the standard returns to the previous high quality we're...
Read moreDecided to stop here on the way home for a bite to eat. Never been here before even though I live 5 mins away. A lovely little garden center with an artisan feel. The plants here look lovingly cared for. The cafe was a little busy when we arrived at 1pm. We where quickly seated and within 5 mins had ordered. The menu is very varied with some amazing sounding food on it. If you want pie and chips this place is not for you. My wife and I ordered the Quiche and our son had the bacon sandwich. The food arrived about 20 mins later. Wow...!! Is all I can say. Fresh homemade food. It was absolutely delicious..And at £8 I thought is was very well priced. The bacon sandwich was enormous and very good. We got cake to take home as we where rather full. After a look around the shop and a few purchases of local bread we made our way home. Would definitely recommend....
