You may have noticed some work taking place during your recent visit.

Our café terrace is getting a new lease of life over the coming weeks, and we can’t wait for you all to see the finished space by the end of October!

In the meantime, our outdoor seating has moved to the plant sales area, so you can still enjoy your coffee, cake and a little garden time while the work is underway.

Thank you for your patience, we can’t wait to share the new terrace with you!
