Group of walkers 2 days into Hadrians Wall walk.(60 miles in approx)
Upon arrival starving and ready for little rest, couldn't believe our look finding this place. However left disappointed, missed out on breakfast so had to have lunch.

Cake / cheesecake always a treat, and the coffee is particularly good. Tables outside, one way system inside but not too obtrusive, masks optional, toilet available. This is an excellent, if usually popular, stop before or after walking a bit of...
