Wonderful shop and café right in the heart of a beautiful village. The shop kept open right through lockdown and this was down to a fantastic team of volunteers and supporters. The trout pate is amazing, but Sharon's cakes are the best homemade cakes around.

What a lovely little village shop. Good range of foods and cakes to eat in or takeaway. We had a lovely 6 mile walk from there and came back for one of the best cups of tea I've had in a while and a very delicious rocky road. The volunteers who run it are amazing

What a gorgeous little cafe. At the end of a group walk we stopped here for refreshments. I had a mug of tea which was really good for a cuppa. I also purchased a Chelsea bun for later, it was so full of fruit and probably the best CB I've ever tasted. This little venue also sells veg and other bits and bobs. Lovely staff - very welcoming.

We had a small gathering for my dads 91st birthday, a few old friends and family. Sharon baked us one of her fabulous cakes, and the two ladies who served us were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. All in all, a very enjoyable time!
