lovely place don't get much places this scenic in kirkby in ashfield. this is definitely the best cafe spot round

A lovely cafe in the country park. Only given the food a 4 star as we only had a biscuit. We did say the sandwiches and jacket potatoes looked good but didn't try so can't really comment. Dog friendly, clean even though you're allowed in with your walking boots on and friendly. We will definitely go back.

Great place to get a fairly priced cooked breakfast with the dog

Staff always lovely and friendly. Food is excellent, freshly cooked and hot. Super dog friendly. We visit regularly and all the customers are always friendly too!

A real hidden gem! Lovely indoor and outdoor seating, great food and cakes, good value and lovely friendly staff only 2 mins from Kirkby but surrounded by greenery and great walks. Highly recommended!

Lovely little cafe, food was nice, dog friendly and Brilliant staff x

Excellent food and service. Breakfasts are fantastic and good quality ingredients. The chips are made fresh not frozen, so a chip butty is just the job. And the salads are great also. The bar is well stocked and very reasonably priced beers and Ciders available. A place to sit and wind down with good food and a beer..
