"The food was tasty and portion sizes meant a starter and large main left us feeling pleasantly full however... I would unfortunately say that though the waiters were polite and good with providing drinks (using the service button on the table to get their attention), getting food was incredibly slow. We were a group of 10 and had booked a couple of weeks in advance we ordered starters and mains, but despite having a 7pm booking we didn't get mains until around 9pm. It was fine but noticeably slow with no mention of a wait when booking our table, or updates from staff on how long it'd be. It made matters worse as we saw other people turn up after we ordered, and still receive their starters and mains before we had ours. We'll likely go back, but definitely in smaller groups."

"This is the best cafe I’ve ever been to, the food is excellent and the staff can’t do enough for you, very clean with a 5 star rating and you can actually see your food being cooked! I take my autistic grandson there and it’s the only place that he fills completely safe and they cook he’s meal just how he likes it and the staff make a great fuss of him every time we go there! We actually travel a few miles just to go to my place cafe because it’s so worth it, a clean and friendly place with food being so responsible priced and there Sunday roast is simply the best!!!! With proper meat and fresh vegetables and the amount you get is amazing!!! Truly a great cafe I will definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks my place cafe you are doing a great job and a excellent customer service."

"We were looking for a location to host our late mother’s wake and were impressed with the venue from our very first visit. The venue itself is lovely, great interiors, garden and patio area, with lovely views of the surrounding area. From our initial visit and through the many follow-up calls when we were fine tuning the event and seeking their advice, the staff were always very helpful and patient. As we were expecting 80 or so attendees we decided to have the wake in their on-site marquee and this worked wonderfully for us. We spoke to Ben and he helped us plan the catering and the drinks ensuring that we had sufficient options for vegetarians, vegans and those with gluten intolerance. Ben and the other staff really could not be more helpful. The food and service on the day was absolutely excellent with so many of the attendees commenting on how lovely the food and the venue was. A truly excellent venue, I look forward to returning here on a more joyful occasion to sample their afternoon teas and restaurant offerings."
