"Footprints is bright and airy too airy but that’s probably due to Covid. You have to order at a counter reminiscent of a self service canteen, which would be ok if the welcome was warmer. We were told to sit at a small table against a wall in the middle of two open doors but the one thing Footprints has going for it is the large windows and some nice views. I asked if we could sit at a window table and was grudging told by the tall man taking our order that we could. This was at around 11.00 am and only one other table inside was occupied! The coffee wasn’t great and we had a long wait for our bacon rolls, but when they came out served by a lovely blonde lady they were tasty! Unfortunately we had finished our small cup of coffee by then and were reluctant to order more. To add to the lack of atmosphere during our visit, there was a tinny radio blaring out hideous pop songs which was sat atop a freezer and pointing towards us; I found this so unnecessary as it prevented us from hearing each other without saying “pardon”, “sorry, what was that”? In addition a man was strimming the grass opposite us through the wide open doors, which I know has to be done but I would have preferred to hear birds singing. The place isn’t cheap but the food, cakes etc looked good and they are very big on using local, organic produce where possible, so that’s a plus. I wouldn’t return however as I prefer to go somewhere more comfortable."

We love having lunch here. Staff are so wonderful and the food is fantastic. Added bonus of such beautiful surroundings.

A fantastic bistro located within the Singleton Environment Centre. They've got a good range of food on the menu, which looks great and comes highly recommended by many people. A great place to sit outside and enjoy a coffee and ice cream during the summer. Parking is free in the car park, which is just a short walk away.

Enjoyed the Sunday Carvery today. Nut roast was delicious , food was hot and very generous vegetable portions. Too full for dessert, which is included in the price, so had a carrot cake takeaway. Went down very well with a cuppa later in the day. Service good and staff polite and friendly. Will definitely be paying another visit.

Popped in here a few times over the past few months, either just for a coffee and snack or a spot of lunch. Good food and coffee on all occasions and reasonably priced. Lovely environment away from the road and peaceful. There are tables inside and out. They accept card payments. Staff friendly. Dog bowls available but you will need to sit outside if you bring your pooch.

We were a family group (3 generations) including grandchild who is gluten free, which we made clear when booking. They made sure there was a portion of broccoli and cauliflower without cheese sauce and gluten free gravy; and were happy to discuss with her which puddings were suitable. Portions are generous and I think this is the best value for money, quality Sunday Lunch we've found. We've also eaten here for weekday lunches and enjoyed good food and service then too! ALL the staff were very friendly and helpful.
