Lovely dog friendly cafe. Had a delicious scone and sausage roll. Many tables reserved for lunchtime so a popular place even on a Monday. Other businesses on site also worth a look.

The classic English countryside cafe - rare. Lovely cakes - and decent size portions. Friendly staff - I also bought some excellent meat from the butchers next door (had a pannier on the bike) - local stuff. Just so relaxed and welcoming. Would come again.

A rustic gem in a fab courtyard in Brooke! We popped in for brunch and it was amazing, a full English, with all you would want and all really high quality, the eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked with runny yolked, free range eggs . Perfect!
