The Raft at Wild & Free — Restaurant in England

We were in Christchurch for a weekend, a week or so ago, and had breakfast here on the Saturday morning.

We have a dog and she was warmly welcomed, as were we. Felt at home. The Raft was empty when we first came in, which can be a bad sign, but within a few minutes it was bursting (so good timing on our part).

The breakfast was really good, although if I was being slightly critical and the sausages weren't quite as good as everything else on the plate, and the coffees were great (funny how so many coffee places get coffee very wrong - not here!).
