Great hidden gem in a beautiful park. Food was excellent, and really well cooked. Good drink selection. The absolute star for me though was the toilets... yes, seriously... Whoever thought to put a big red button in the toilet to turn it into a 70s soul disco was an absolute genius. Totally unexpected highlight of my day.
This was a fantastic dining experience in a beautiful environment. The restaurant has been recently refurbished and looks stunning. It was hard to choose from the wide range of delicious food on the menu. We all ended up opting for pizza, which was freshly prepared in an open kitchen, beautifully thin and crispy, and loaded with toppings. The margheritas had a generous sprinkle of shredded fresh basil which was great. The aubergine pizza was very tasty and the carbonara pizza was superb. Highly highly recommended.
We sat outside and had a peaceful view of the lake with swans gliding past.
You can park directly opposite - there's tonnes of space as Fort Fun appears to be closed down, but bear in mind you have to have coins for the parking meter. No card or app payment available 😬
We came in at 11:15 today (Friday 8th September).
First off, it was lovely to be greeted by the young lady behind the bar with a smile and then to be clearly told how to order and that we only had 15 minutes left to order breakfast. Such wonderful and refreshing service.
The venue itself is beautiful, so much light and thankfully avoided the mistake so many venues are making of having too many tables.
The food was outstanding and very reasonably priced. I drink a lot of coffee and the coffee here was among the best you can get locally.
All in all a very pleasant meal in truly beautiful surroundings. Thank you to the team. We will be back again.
Lovely brunch with my granddaughter . We were welcomed in a very warm manner by Hannah who seemed to be running the whole restaurant on her own. What a star she is , so refreshing , happy , polite and very professional!
We really enjoyed our food and will Definately be back - hopefully Hannah will be there to brighten our day again! :-)
Lovely cafe with a fantastic lakeside view. Very easy and accessible to get to, amazing food and the staff are absolute stars! They have a restaurant area in the back with the lakeside view, and a coffee/bar are in the front with both indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommended!
The homemade fish& chips were absolutely delicious 😋 great service and lovely view to the lake.
Dog friendly place
Lovely inside, lovely view and nice food and drinks, good variety. Staff friendly, be nice if there was a bit more options for children with it being pretty much in the park.
It's a beautiful place, you can also sit by the pond if you want. The interior design is very nice. Also, the workers are helpful and smiling.
We visited this lovely café for breakfast yesterday, after an early appointment nearby. It has a lovely position overlooking the water and we really enjoyed sitting by the window and watching the world go by. My husband had The Fry Up and I had The Posh One, both accompanied with a pot of tea. The food was lovely and presented with care, and I felt it was decent value for the price. I was pleased with the amount and quality of the hollandaise with mine, as in other places this is often scrimped on. The service was good and several of the waitresses were smily and chatty.
All round a lovely visit, with good food and a nice atmosphere. I hope we’ll be in the area again soon so we can re-visit.
Lovely restaurant in the Princess park. Very yummy food and nice coffee. Love salads! You can enjoy nice views of park. There is funny surprise when you go to the rest room 😉 we come back regularly.
A really tasty breakfast, everything was spotlessly clean and the service was friendly and efficient. And, yes, you absolutely must press the red button in the toilets!
Really really lovely experience. Walked in at 12 on an Airborne Saturday with no booked table. Hannah (I think) got us a table and high chair really quickly. Lily and Harry were wonderful bringing food, drinks and anything else we wanted. The food was great, really tasty and great portion size for the cost too. Would happily go back for those points alone even without the funky toilets!
Location is excellent. Service is decent, staff are friendly. The portions could be a little bigger but overall very enjoyable food and served quickly. The place is dog friendly. There is fun buzzer in the bathroom - press at your own risk! Hehe
I had very high expectations for the hot chocolate after reading the reviews but unfortunately it was a bit disappointing as not chocolate-y enough, cream and marshmallows always taste good but the deciding factor is the drink and that wasn’t anything special.
I went on a Sunday at about 11 o'clock. It was very busy. The staff were lovely . The food was very nicely presented. You have to ask about the kids' menu, which is unusual only to be told they just get smaller portions!. The view over the lake is beautiful and kept the kids occupied watching the ducks and people sailing their radio controlled boats. The only thing I didn't like was the noise. It was very noisy there.
Great place in the summer for pizzas from the pizza oven in the sun overlooking the lake, and great for a yummy roast dinner with all the trimmings in the winter ! Great also for cakes and coffee !! Perfectly situated in the park not far from the sea.
Arrived on the cusp of end-of-breakfast, so too late to order. Very accommodating in letting our group wait for menu switch. Lovely view across the boating pond, watching the model boats, swans, and seagulls. Looks like a good spread for omnivores, veggies, and vegans. Went for a standard burger...all good. Chips cooked to perfection. Generous pot of tea. So good food, great staff, and a disco in the loo to boot!
I’ve been here several times but only managed to grab some takeaway and go which was good. Today though we went inside which is larger than I thought. Some very nautical themes with ropes and big windows across the back giving wide open looks into the adjoining lake. Food wise, a good Size menu with some seafood choices and at pretty reasonable prices. Children’s menus were available and offered a good size portion which would be suitable for kids up to about 10. We had mussels which came with a choice of sauces. Really fresh and great tasting. Overall, a lovely place to visit if you want a quick takeaway or dine in experience. Plenty of table both inside and out. A must visit when have a stroll around princess park
