Following a friend's recemmendation, I called here for lunch on a bitterly cold day.On entering the cafe, I was impressed by how light, airy and warm it was, with a log burning stove providing welcome heat, and tables well set out with plenty of room between them. A blackboard behind the counter displayed the day's selection of seasonal lunches. Although there were only three choices of main course, they all looked appetising. I chose the chicken and leek pie, with carrot and beetroot saled, which came with a mint based dressing. This made for a delicious combination, of flavours, but left room fo me to indulge in a dessert. For this, I chose apple crumble with Roskilly's ice cream, which was also very tasty. I rounded my meal off with a pot of tea. The service was very good and the ambience of the cafe made this a very enjoyable experience. I was pleased to see that dogs are welcomed here and I look forward to returning with my family and our dog.Apologies for the slow response, but thank you for your positive feedback, and very glad you enjoyed the experience with us! Look forward to seeing you again.
