Perfect stop off 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️ , the service was fantastic. Food was excellent 👍🏻. Added bonus was the look out tower Where the old stationmaster used to see the trains 🚂 come and go.

Drove over an hour to experience this hidden gem. Relaxing atmosphere, great food, excellent waitress service , they made you feel relaxed and special. Once a railway rural railway station, now a nostalgic cafe with a very long cycle track right along the estuary. We'll be back for sure.

The food is exceptional I had the Crab sandwich! Which was huge! They did not skimp on the crab, it was stacked! The children had jacket potato which they thoroughly enjoyed. The view is beautiful and easily accessible by bike and car. We cycle because the view is awsome! Its a must go to place!

Questions & answers

01Is it dog friendly

It is but not inside the cafe. You need to sit outside which is lovely due to the views.
