Cons:
"Hire more staff or don't attempt to run a cafe when you can't handle basic etiquette or the lunch hour."
"Rip off, charged me a fortune for kids party and left us hanging around, totally unorganised. Zero empathy from staff member despite spending a few hundred quid that day..."
"Basically, we waited for 40 minutes for a panini and a soup. Other customers waited for almost an hour for the same thing."
"Only thing is kitchen staff don't come out with cutlery I'd of completely missed it when ordering."
"Food stops at 2.30pm I think it should be served until 4pm and there wasn't much choice in food and drinks."

"Indoor play area was swamped as a birthday party was also being held."
"I have just returned here after 4 years and the condition of the outside space has deteriorated massively with huge pot holes in concrete all the way round outside."
"Although the new extension gives more space to sit the toys are all spread out, it’s too hot in there with the underfloor heating and the Wi-fi is bad."
"I thought the condition of the pedal tractors was in poor condition as tyres of wheels pedling mechanism not very easy to pedal also steering not good nead some maintenance."
"The only let down was the weather so didn't stay too long."
"It was a nice farm but once you had been round once the kids lost interest you couldn't spend the whole day here best bit was the sand pit my kids spent more time here playing than with the animals."

"Unless you know the schedule for things like pig racing there’s not a lot to do."
"There were definitely less animals about this year which was a shame."
"Disappointed to find any cows or sheep."
"The only problem with this place is that there is a relatively small number of animals, but as it is a small and local rare breeds centre this can be forgiven."

"However, you’re not allowed to feed any animals."
