Enjoyed a delicious Brie and bacon ciabatta served by the most welcoming waiter wearing a man bun (didn’t catch his name) but thank you very much for making our day with your service!

Lovely Fresh cooked food. Nice location in an excellent park. On Sunday afternoons in summer to end of September there are bands playing in the Bandstand. A lovely way to spend a pleasant afternoon with friends.

It was so busy on a Sunday morning, but we managed to grab a table and enjoy hot drinks. We didn't have to queue for long despite the busyness, which was great.
