Sharp Thorne Organic Cafe

Just returned from our 2nd visit in 3 days! We first had breakfast here on our way to the Bluebell Railway. The freshly cooked food was lovely & the service really good. Today we’ve just returned from a ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’ themed afternoon tea party which was excellent. It was very evident that the lovely manager Rachel had put so much time, energy & hard work into making it such a success. In addition to the delicious food that we were served with (variety of sandwiches that were so fresh, some lovely gf quiche, a selection of wonderful homemade cakes & scones, accompanied by as much tea to drink as we wanted plus a delicious fizzy raspberry drink), the whole place had been beautifully decorated with such attention to detail on each table & around the cafe, relating to the theme of the afternoon, in addition to the wearing of themed clothes. This cafe was a recent find for us & we’re so glad to have discovered it - it’s extra special too because it’s owned by Pericles which as their website says “ is a pioneering training-and- work project for young people & adults with special learning needs and/or mental health problems”, so as customers, it’s great to know it’s also helping to support this work in the local community, so a huge thank you & well done to everyone involved (bakers, ‘waitresses’ etc) especially Rachel, we’ll definitely be back!

Lovely relaxed feel, friendly staff , although on busy days the service is a bit slow, which indicates that maybe more staff required? Nice to see local businesses selling their craft items in there. It's a great location for passing cyclists, dog walkers, ramblers. Have been on Sundays to see varied musical acts, which makes for a livelier atmosphere.
