A very pleasant stop for coffee, cake, light lunches, etc. Some unusual options too, such as avocado and courgette GF cake. Set in nice grounds with alpacas goats and geese. Only downside was the smell of chips or similar cooking - maybe ventilation could be better.
I've visited several times now and have always enjoyed the various facilities.
I had a particularly good experience this morning when a man who works/owns/ runs it (sorry I didn't get a name) reassured me that my two very excitable and loud dogs were very welcome at our booked enclosed field appointment and that the surrounding animals would be unfazed by their barking! He was right and my dogs calmed down quickly and we enjoyed the field without any issues.
Thank you for the reassurance, I passed this to another dog owner on the way out!
I hate knocking off a star. I'll start with the positives.
Food was lovely, great selection for a nice lunch stop.
Large barn for seating.
Great you can feed the animals £1 a bag, lovely touch for a tea room.
Lots of cake to choose from (would of been better if they were labeled)
Very helpful when booking for a bigger table
Negatives unfortunately
Staff had 0 urgency, very long wait on getting served, 2 people serving 1 person at a time with no urgency to get people served and both doing the drinks etc. A gent had to come and help them serve to bring the queue down. Once food was ordered, we got the food quite quickly and it was very nice.
The staff (not the helpful gent) weren't the happiest, I don't expect people to walk round smiling all day but maybe put a customer service face on, I did it for many years 😂
Will definitely return, food and the animals were worth it.
