What a great Cafe in a great location!. A genuine British Sherwood Forest experience. Good quality fresh food, lovely staff and quick efficient service even though they were overrun. Sitting in the courtyard with the great little shops around and good quality food is a pleasure.

Tucked away in the charming arts and crafts center, this little cafe is a nice spot to take a break. With seating options inside the center and outside in the peaceful backyard, it's a relaxing place to enjoy a coffee and pastry. The kind service staff aim to please, though they struggle to keep up with the demands of customers at their small operation. The coffees are nicely brewed and the cake slices are fresh from the bakery. With some extra hands on deck during the busier times, the service could be sped up to better match the calming ambiance. But the cozy location and tasty treats make this a cafe I'll return to when I want to get away from the hustle and bustle.

We visit this cafe on a regular basis and the food is always delicious. The service is also good and despite being very busy at times it is a nice peaceful place to eat. I would have given 5 stars but one member of staff is so rude. We have experienced it ourselves before, having dared to ask for more salt and recently witnessed her having a stand up row with a gentleman which was uncomfortable for those witnessing it and definitely unprofessional. The young lady who served us today however couldn’t have been more helpful, as are all of the other staff

This is such a lovely place. Right in the craft centre, you can sit in the cafe, in the covered courtyard or outside. Dogs aren't allowed in so a chilly or hot day might put people off but it's a lovely place to stop and have lunch while visiting the craft shops .

Me and my friend Jill went here for lunch today and it was amazing. We both had a cheese and ham panini, coffee and a lemon meringue cupcakes. The food was gorgeous. The cheese was so tasty, the salad that came with the panini was so delicious and so fresh. The cupcakes were so moist and amazing. It was so peaceful even though there was alot of people. The cafe was so clean and tidy. I will definitely go here again and I will also recommend it to all my friends and family.
