David was very welcoming and friendly, and prepared us a great lunch. Panini combos were great. We were impressed with the efficiency of the lady who operated between the cafe and the post office.

Ordered birthday afternoon tea for two for home delivery.Great value. Sandwiches, home-baked scones+jam+cream, strawberry tarts, meringues, sponge cakes were all delicious. Huge quantities of everything. Two adults struggled to finish all the provided food even with the help of two teenagers who were socially distanced to the garden. Will order again.
