Refurbished from a no longer used tennis pavilion, the cafe owners had to persuade the council to lease the property. Now a thriving cafe which has brought jobs, great food and drink to the park and preserved a historic building. Clientele is varied although squeezed a little more to mums, children and grannies.

Recommend for a lazy afternoon break or to grab a take away coffee and cake from the outside take away counter to eat...

All 3 times I've been here the service has been slow (both sitting in and takeaway). First time I was there they gave us a free coffee because they took so long to serve us. However, ironically they charged us for the dog muffins but never gave us them (which probably counteracted the free coffee given).
I'd go back as it a local business I want to support located in a lovely park, although overall I find the service a bit slow and all over the place and it not the cheapest place to buy food for...
