Come and enjoy

The café has recently been revamped with new furniture, and a small play area for children.

We serve breakfast rolls in the morning, and sandwiches, soup, paninis and some light meals during the day.

There are a variety of delicious homemade cakes available all day, along with hot and colds drinks.

The café is located on the ground floor with easy access for buggies and wheelchairs. Highchairs are also available for small children.
