Hello all, due to the fact that we are a garden café, and very weather dependant, we will now only be open 3 days a week, Friday - Sunday, with normal hours of 10:00 - 4:30. We will carry on like this until Thursday 28th March, when we will go back to 4 days a week. Thank you all for your continued support, and we hope to see you all soon :)

FURTHER UPDATE - Café re-opening paused until early Spring 2024

Regrettably we've had to make the decision to pause opening the café over the winter months. Due to the nature of our location and the ongoing stormy weather which has caused significant damage, we feel that we would not be in a position to guarantee opening on a regular basis whilst the inclement weather continues.

We therefore look forward to re-opening earlier in the Spring/Summer season in order to welcome back our valued customers, old and new.

In the meantime, we wish you a healthy and happy Christmas and New Year, and apologise once again that we were unable to continue at the current time.

IMPORTANT UPDATE - CAFE RE-OPENING DATE:

Please be advised that, due to damage as a result of recent storms, the opening of the cafe will be delayed. We are working hard to try and rectify this situation and hope to be able to open on Saturday 18th November, however please keep an eye on our website and page for further updates.
