"Whilst I’m sure the food is nice, I didn’t get as far as trying it. My first and only experience was when I popped in to ask about Christmas lunches. Having just had this Christmas, I was naturally thinking ahead to our plans next year looking into one of their take away dinners, as a way of making our Christmas day run a bit smoother. I’m not quite sure what made the chef (owner? quite so cross. I could hear him loudly telling the waitress (to pass on to me : “I ain’t even thinking about Christmas. Don’t know if we’re even doing it again but I ain’t talking about it”. Loudly saying this, when I was stood right there yet not making eye contact with me. It made me feel so small and stupid for asking about it. I came away feeling like I never want to eat there, don’t want to recommend it and that the customer service is somewhat lacking. Make people feel like valued customers, it’s so easy. If you’re cross with your potential customers for even enquiring before they’ve experienced your food, something isn’t right. I was just asking a question about a service the cafe offers. I’ve since read through some Google reviews, the worst rated all complain about the owner being aggressive/ rude… Edited after owner’s response: You’re right, how dare I pop in when I was passing (I’m not often in the area! and when you had customers. Wishing you your woeful customer service a prosperous year."

I can highly recommend the Sunday lunches as they are good value for the money and taste absolutely delicious. You certainly get your money’s worth.

Amazing (inexpensive) breakfast with lots of extras us veggies don’t usually get. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Wish we were coming back for Sunday lunch too! Cute Easter display in pic.

We have had tea and cake after walking our dog along the cycle tracks several times. We have always been made very welcome and the cake is beautifully served. Don't let the location put you off.

An absolutely magical place to eat and very fair prices. The best place I've ever eaten in. So glad I tried this lovely place out. Thank you Shane, thank you all. Couldn't recommend you more. Breakfast is unbelievable. Sunday roast is a tummy filler but you need to book in advance for a table because it can get busy. Thanks Molly and Harry too. Very kind and just nice. And Wilson says hello and thank you for the bacon

We popped in here whilst visiting Radstock for the day and boy we were so pleased we did. They didn't have a table immediately available but offered to keep us the next free one. The staff including the owner were so helpful and friendly and the service was excellent. We had a toastie sandwich and a baked potato, both came with a lovely fresh salad and were very tasty. Large portions and reasonably priced. Would recommend this cafe highly and I'm just sad we won't be able to return in the near future. Thank you for a lovely lunch.
