Lovely tidy outside seating area, only had tea but it was served in a big pot enough for 3 cups! We then decided to have an ice-cream. Thought it was a bit expensive for one scoop but when you see the size of the scoop you will be glad you didn't ask for two! We had the double chocolate with cherry, wish I was back for another today it was one of the best ice-creams I have tasted.
Just had my daughters wedding reception at the Pavilion and it was absolutely amazing. Karen and her team could not have done more for us and transformed the 'cafe' into an elegant reception room doing everything we asked for. The food was fantastic and the setting by the river beautiful. If you are looking for a venue then this is the place! Thanks again Karen and all the staff
Great place for a coffee and cake but really serve no hot meals just prepacked sandwiches. Very disappointing menu. Only tray service
I nice place to stop after a long walk. Didn’t have food here but there was a selection of snack food such as sandwiches or pies. Coffee was really good, next to a river with beautiful views, climbing frame for children and next to a gift shop
Great place for a brew and cake after a good long walk. Staff helpful and friendly. Tables cleared and cleaned promptly. Lovely views of the river and countryside when dining outside. Toilets well maintained and clean. Restrictions for shop so it doesn't get to crowded. Lovely postcards available, cards, sweets, books and toys. Something for everyone.
Entrance fee is £12.50 per car. No booking on-line required. Photos show views from bridge over river.
We got there about 2.45 & the selection of cake was a little limited...scones were completely sold out. The cake we had was really nice though. Good selection of hot & cold drink. We sat out outside & it was really nice...lovely pit stop before the walk back to the car.
Love the tranquillity of this place. Bought a season pass for £90. Seems steep for the year as it was £70 last year. But, all things considered... it is £10 to park per visit so we will certainly make use of it.
Bonfire night entrance is not included in the price which I find disappointing. This is a beautiful place in all weathers
Nice little cafe with both interior and exterior seating. Little pricey, but that's to be expected. We only bought refreshments, but they seem to so sandwiches and hot food too. There's a car park just a few metres away with disabled access and the lovely walk in to Strid wood is just adjacent to the pavilion.
After a walk around the grounds, this is a nice spot for a sandwich and a hot drink. Plenty seating indoor or out and toilets are near by. Just a good spot to sit and crowd watch
Beautiful place, great for walks. Very tranquil along the riverside. Places for BBQs, picnics and a run around with a football. Lots of cycle paths, Plenty of car parking but it can get busy, on sunny bank holidays for instance! Didn't get to see everything so a second visit is definitely on the cards. Warn the children in advance though; this is not an activity centre and little ones will get tired on the lengthier trails.
I visited this lovely cafe in July 2019 and it was so awesome having a cup of english tea by the river. The surrounding is very attractive and clean to have a picnic or walk. The kids loved it as well.
Food was good, mostly sandwiches, sausage rolls cakes etc. But all nice and fresh and plenty of seating inside and out.
