We'd brought our own lunch, but we thought we'd get some cakes afterwards at this cafe. We realised it would be unfair to eat our lunch (purchased elsewhere) on the outside dining tables, so we didn't do that, instead we sat right at the edge of this area on the side of the lake. We didn't want to sit further away so we could see our tandem bike we arrived on.We were asked to move anyway, I said that we were intending to buy some cakes but the member of staff was not interested in hearing that and walked away as I said it. We walked across the bridge (south-east) and ate our lunch there, a whole 50ft from where we were sat.It seemed rather petty, I thought it was pretty obvious we weren't taking liberties by eating lunch on their outdoor furniture. We got our desserts elsewhere.

Lovely little cafe with friendly staff who will welcome you and your furry friend if you have one. Chill out by the lake admiring the fantastic scenery and chilled atmosphere as you tuck into one of the tasty treats on offer. Can highly recommend if you are in the area.

Can't comment on the food or service as we didn't visit in the end due to feeling horribly judged.If the owners are the same people that own the car park the male is incredibly rude and patronising, shouting across the car park to move on despite paying for parking and the carpark not closing till 5.30. this was at 5.05pm.If this is not the case and the car park is different owners, please let me know and I shall delete the review.
