We arrived with our coach group just after 3pm and there was no soup or meals available as the kitchen had already closed, luckily an extremely kind lady made up some sandwiches for us and very much appreciated they were too, very fresh and tasty, perfect with a cuppa and fresh scone.

The food as usual was lovely, however the last few times we've been in there was no filter coffee available. We were told when we visited yesterday it was for the buses only! As soon as the first bus drew up the filter coffee machine was put on. I feel this should be made available to everyone, it is on the menu board after all. Now charging 10p a satchet for ketchup.
