We stopped for bacon sandwiches, tea and coffee after our dog had his vaccination at a local vets. The bacon sandwiches were delicious and the weather was great so we could sit outside. Our dog also enjoyed a doggy ice cream as a treat for being reasonably good! Highly recommend.

Just bought ice cream for the kids. Reasonably priced and good selection. Roughly £1.50 per ixd cream including brands like Cornetto/twister etc. Right next to the kids play park which is ideal. They also sell scones, sandwiches etc which looked lovely but I didn't buy any. Nice number of seats outside too for a nice day.
