    Food came out and it was cold! It was already a cold morning and we wanted to have a nice breakfast instead we were eating food the same temperature as the weather. Coffee came out about 10 mins after the food. So we couldn’t enjoy a nice breakfast together

    Defiantly need QR code on the tables to order food it’s ridiculous lining up through the restaurant. You can’t move around and just people standing in line in the way. Felt like uncomfortable eating as people standing next to my table trying to line to order.

    Had brekky here and all meals were nice and what we expected. Meals were quick to come out and good value for portion. Most of us had eggs with back, mushrooms, eggs were cooked perfect. Coffee was good too. Kids were impressed with their Pancakes. Definitely come back has a real nice atmosphere if you like the farmhouse feel.

    It was my second time visiting, as it was just as incredible and magical! The atmosphere was so welcoming. The staff clearly value their customers experience and manage to balance fast service while providing you with a unique, individualistic experience. The property is well maintained.

    Honestly, we didn't have a great experience. We had a booking and when we arrived the line and the waiting times exceeded 15 minutes of that booking. The noise was also soo loud, we could hardly hear one another. I had accidentally bumped into a waitress's arm - who was holding out a plate in the direction she was planning on heading whilst she was still clearing the table and the interaction was so negative. Whilst I apologised, she looked at me in disbelief, I understand it was incredibly busy but that's not the attitude to provide to your customers. I expressed my concern to another waitress but heard nothing following that interaction. The only booking we could make was at 1:30 though when we arrived there was a sign saying "Kitchen Closed". So to understand that, we had to seek direction from another waitress, later finding out that the kitchen closes until 2:30. So the menus we were initally given weren't even for that time-slot. To place your order there was another 25 - 30 minute wait, when we arrived up at the counter we had to think on the spot about what we wanted because of the menu change. There was no toilet paper in the bathrooms and they didn't give us our full orders. We had to chase up another 2 plates that our table was missing. Let alone the toilet wait was another 15 minutes wait. Not the best mothers day experience and in general, I won't be going back.

    Went for Mother’s Day with a big group of us. Absolutely fantastic!!! The food came out super quick and was so delicious. Almost everyone in our group ordered something different and it looked amazing. Great place and great atmosphere. Totally recommend and we will be back again

    Absolutely loved our brunch. Service was super fast and the food was delicious and a good helping. Not too much. Surroundings are lovely and lots to see for kiddos. A lovely place to have a family gathering.

    Generous serving sizes. Staff were disinterested at best. Long queue to order food. A drink musing from order. Wanted to buy icecream after the meal but the ordering / purchasing too difficult/time consuming. We won't be back.
