Ordered the 'Ultimate ham and cheese toastie'. Which was quite possibly the saddest excuse for a toastie I've ever seen. Tasted like someone had shoved some ham and a bit of bag mozerella in between two tiny slices of stale week old bread. To call it 'Ultimate' is a straight up lie and false advertising. The accompanying coleslaw was grey. It was comically bad.

Fantastic walks we hired the Tramper for my husband because he can't walk very far. Excellent service. Met by a lovely lady very helpful highly recommend hiring it if you have problems walking. Excellent few hours spent walking and taking pictures.

First time visit very lovely open forest area! Park for little people plenty of greenery for dogs to have fun. Only let down was the cafe I ordered two breakfast toasties and items were missing so I went to get this corrected was told will get fresh new ones but instead they gave back the original ones with one egg when it was supposed to be two. Obviously you pay for what u want and what’s on the menu but not wanting to look like a moaning customer I just left it at that. Bacon wasn’t really edible and the toast was burnt and hard. Kids had American pancakes nothing special but for the price of £4.95 you would expect the American style pancakes not Kipling ones. Coffee was average. Menu prices seemed ok but on receiving the food not worth it. A lot of people had their own packed lunches. Lesson learnt for next time. Parking starts from £4 depending on car size. Card only for the parking.

Visited today; not the first time I've used this cafe but haven't visited for a few years now.Service was great - my cup of tea was replaced with no squabble as it was a little too Milky for my taste.The ladies working had a sense of humour which is always nice - nothing worse than someone who can't crack a smile.Food was delicious - the brie, bacon and cranberry soft baguettes and the cakes.Was able to get a table - I do like the fact that they allow dogs in the cafe and that there's also tables which are dog free.Also managed to grab an ice cream at last minute so that was a bonus!Will return on our next visit to the forest ?

The farmers breakfast was the best I've ever had and when you throw in a relaxed ambience and smart and polite staff, you have the recipe for repeat business. The three of us enjoyed it so much with the dogs lying on the floor, not getting in the way.

Nice cafe and pleasant staff. Ideal for a nature trail and suitable for most ages.
Great food and 1st class service...cannot pick a fault, will definitely be going back.
Paul Price
Nice fresh food. Price reflect quality and good vegan/vegetarian options. Service was a little bit too slow which is the reason for 4 stars.

Parked for 2-4 hours, went for walk on "buzzard trail" and then had sandwich and drink. Bread slices a bit thick for my taste but good.

Cafe is OK, but if you have a dog you’re crammed in sharing one of two very-much-in-demand tables that allow dogs… whilst most of the rest of the inside tables are empty.And that’s if you’re lucky - quite a few potential customers with dogs were turning up and having to leave, as the two dog tables were constantly full.

This cafe was chosen for Christmas present exchange and get together with daughter, son in law and new grandson on 30th December. We travelled 60 miles and though there were holdups on the journey we expected over an hour and a half together, eating, drinking and chatting. After just under half an hour we were asked to leave as the staff wanted to prepare for New Year. This was not on the Website. We went outside, but the baby did not like being woken up by the cold, and after a short attempt at a walk we gave up and said our goodbyes. The parking, at £4, was very expensive, but the toilets were very clean and well equipped. All in all, disappointing and would not be considered for any future get togethers.
