I Wouldn’t go again.. asked if our hot chocolates could be put into a takeaway cup considering the wasn’t really anywhere to sit (all indoor tables had been occupied) and it was freezing , windy and wet outside so didn’t want to sit out there. A lady came through with our hot chocolates and I asked if I could have them in take away cups instead and she acted like it was absolutely no problem and was pleasant to my face about it but I could see the whole kitchen where I was waiting and she went back through to the kitchen and was pulling a face at a male that was making the drinks and was like smirking and staying stuff about it and all I heard from him was “are you serious” like it’s not hard to pour it in a takeaway cup.. she than came back out with the take away cups and the hot chocolate was cold anyway so we didn’t really enjoy them regardless.. my son did like the cheese toastie so give extra star for that but do feel customer service needs some work.. happy to take £15.40 for two small hot chocolates (mainly was cream and cold) and one cheese toastie but yet give you awful customer service actually turned what was meant to be a pleasant walk with a nice hot drink into an...

Staff friendly and helpful, and we didn't have to wait long for...
