“Thank you all so much for your hard work on the 4th. Everything went really well. The afternoon tea and buffet were both gorgeous. A particular favourite of everyone were the gorgeous scones and the chocolate cake! Yourself and your staff were lovely and nothing was to much trouble. Your service was exactly what we wanted for our wedding and the afternoon tea just set the mood perfectly.” ⇒
“I just wanted to say a big thank you to yourself and your team for the superb afternoon tea today. You really looked after us. Everyone has said how much they enjoyed themselves. It was absolutely delicious!” ⇒

Our Favourites
Here’s a few of our favourite Bistro items on the menu to get you going…
Full English Breakfast
Not too big and not too small – the perfect full breakfast to start the day at our Bistro. Our Full English Breakfast also includes hash brown, black pudding, Fried Bread and tea or coffee. Great as a morning after boost (as proven by many!).
Vegetarian and Gluten Free options also available.
Burgers
Our range of Bistro Burgers are always popular at lunch time and are a heart-warming hit with locals – hope you’re hungry! Pictured is a cheese burger and we also have a Moving Mountain Vegan Burger.
Paninis
Paninis are the ultimate finger food – easy to eat as a snack and filling enough to have for your lunch (or any time you like of course!).
We have a full range to choose from and popular ones are Bacon, Brie & Cranberry (v) and Chilli Con Carne (pictured).
Toasties
Toasties are very popular and great snack food. Occasionally we do special Toasties such as the festive Ham Hock, Turkey Stuffing, Emmental Cheese & Cranberry with Gravy Dipper (pictured).
Also very popular are Ham & Cheese, Camembert & Red Onion, Fish Fingers and Brie & Cranberry (v).
Cappuccino
A traditional Italian cappuccino just like it’s made in Italy. A single or double espresso shot topped with equal parts steamed and foamed milk which means you quickly reach the coffee. Finished with a layer of silky foam on top. (The heart-shaped biscuit was only for Valentines Day!)
The foam that tops a cappuccino acts as a natural insulator, keeping the drink warmer longer. The traditional cappuccino does not have chocolate added on top (however if you would like some, that’s not a problem).
Milkshakes & Smoothies
Choose from an extensive range of Milkshakes which are blended together with your favourite candy bar. We do them thick and if it isn’t thick enough, tell us and we’ll redo it for you.
Our delicious range of Love Struck Smoothies are healthy and made simply with fruit and our special Ginger Cow smoothie juice. Smoothies are not just for summer either – your body benefits from them in the winter also.
