Cons:

• "No car park but there is a pay and display not far away but was full."
• "The only drawback is that you need to remember a few 20p if you need to visit the toilet while there."

Pros:

Cons:

• "Also I have had some staff members be a little rude or brash."
• "Staff were ok but toilets apart from 1 were not working so after driving long journey went to loos first but there was a big queue and each toilet takes 20p so change is a must."
• "Staff are great barring one who's a snob and wants to be sacked having a go at customers can't even do a decent cup of coffee the last one I had from her tasted like vile but the other staff are brill and make good food and drinks."
• "Although, staff aren’t the nicest and did not handle mould on an orange juice as well as they could have."
• "Cafe was not good value at all, absolutely would not recommend going there for more than a coffee."
• "Cafe is expensive for what was on offer and portion size."
• "Overpriced drinks at the cafe and ice cream van (£1.50 for a can."
