I don't think they should allow dogs inside the cafe. I'm allergic and one kept coming over whilst I was trying to eat. My cake and tea was nice. The staff seemed cheerful and chatted with you.

Ordered a buffet for after a funeral for 20 people. The food was excellent, plentiful and good variety, delivered on time too. Highly recommend. We ordered the Millenium Bridge deal at £7.50 a head and there was more than enough.

Fabulous personal service, friendly atmosphere. The home made food can be enjoyed in the premises or taken outside or home. The buffet service is great value for money, with free local delivery, plates, tablecloths etc.

With more investment in the park and cafe as it is well needed this place could return to former glory and become the go to place for the vast numbers returning to the park
