Thank you! Excellent brunch, great coffee and wonderful service. The carriage was so cosy and warm on a rainy morning. Finished off with a bit of retail therapy in the shop. The perfect place to catch up with friends.

My friend enjoyed her Eggs Benedict , poached eggs to perfection .
Sadly I was very disappointed with my choice of mushrooms on sourdough with cured Shropshire meat . Chef failed to put butter on the toast!! And unbelievably the mushrooms were dry !
How can someone make mushrooms dry and fail to butter the toast ?!
I asked for some balsamic or olive oil to drizzle and moisten the dish , but it couldn’t recover an overall big fail dish
I ate it all as was starving

An absolutely gorgeous setting considering its set on a business park. Something very different.
Service is above and beyond.
We ate outside the first time having just tea and Scone which was lovey. Then we decided to book a table inside for our next visit. Again the service was great, not too much choice on the menu but I guess they may mot have the room to have an extensive menu. Myself and my partner had the full English breakfast and I will be honest at £12.95 I have had much nicer and cheaper elsewhere. The bacon was quite hard and sausage was miniscule the toast almost broke a tooth but the rest was fine. I would definitely book again but I won't be ordering much more than tea and cake if I'm honest. Definitely worth a stop off and there is also a lovely little farm shop in one of the carriages too.
