Had lunch with my family in this lovely cafe with view over the lake. Open sandwiches very tasty served with good sized salad. Jacket potatoes huge! A nice place for lunch away from hustle and bustle of town. Probably best to book.

Enjoyed a relaxed coffee and teacakes during an afternoon visit, pleasant position, very nice coffee, not expensive. Daily newspapers provided, clean and bright environment. Enjoy walking around the adjacent boating lake and gardens. I remember this café when it was a greasy spoon, now it is very modern and clean. Only down side if you call it that, was that... More

The coffee was very good and would have returned for a meal later but were put off by the cold atmosphere, constant crashing of crockery and scraping of chairs & tables on the floor making it...

The Lakeside is, as it suggests, overlooking the lake with remote controlled boats, teams of ducks and a colony of gulls pruning themselves on the water banks. They... More
