    What a fantastic dog friendly cafe to find. I've lived in this area all my life and never realised that this cafe had existed let alone been here for 4 years. the food was excellent I had a proper ploughman's which was made from a variety of fresh produce (the ham was especially nice), and not just a big lump of cheese, bits of mixed salad and a few crisps that you find in some cafes/ pubs my partner had a ham toasty and salad which she also enjoyed. The staff ..well owners actually, were really friendly and welcoming and the prices were very good. Would we go again .. absolutely and look forward to it (maybe the fish and chips next time) thankyou Colin and linda
