All food is prepared on the premises by our talented team of chefs.

Come and try one of our famous scones, or a slice of home-made cake with your morning cofee or afternoon tea.

For lunch there are freshly-made sandwiches or the full lunch menu which is served between 12.00pm and 2.30pm.  

We pride ourselves on using local ingredients so the menu changes on a monthly basis.  Where items cannot be sourced locally, we ensure that products are fair-traded or sourced from ethical producers.
