The café and shop used to be a cow byre. Some of the partitions separating beast from beast are still there.

Excellent Simplicity. Our aim is to produce café food of cordon bleu quality.

The menu is structured around our bread but home-made scones, treacle tarts brownies and all our cakes are much sought after. Probably our chocolate cake is the most popular. It has rum-flavoured chocolate icing with rum-soaked cherries on top. It somehow contrives to be luscious without being sickening.

Come and enjoy a refreshing drink & try our
popular menu.

Dough for the bread is prepared each evening. It is given its second kneading at 3.00am and set to prove at 7.00am. The first batch is baked at about 9.30 so that it has usually just about cooled for the first lunch customers. Hand kneading promotes good texture and the slow rising allows the yeast to generate all those delectable secondary alcohols which gives freshly baked bread its flavour. The best since my mothers! as a visiting Italian chef once exclaimed. We serve it to accompany bowls of our home-made soups and stews or as sandwiches. We make special loaves in a terra cotta crock (custom built on the premises) to furnish bread for toasted sandwiches The café is licensed and customers may drink a glass of wine or beer with their meal.. We also make our own lemonade using a family recipe: particularly refreshing on hot days.
