We went for an impromptu lunch and found it was very busy. However we were quickly found a table in a quieter spot and the atmosphere with the families around us was lovely. The service and food was excellent as usual and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal together. We had the sausage roll, scone with cream and jam and for me the gluten free salmon and cream cheese bagel. Then we enjoyed taking in the scenery before we left.

My friend suggested this place for breakfast and catch up and oh my what a lovely little spot! Indoor/outdoor area with river views, amazing food and superb service. Everyone was so lovely and polite and Ian's bagel is a must! A lot of drink choices and if you fancy paddleboarding/kayaking before or after your food- they have a hire spot. We got therr fairly early but it quickly got busy so I would suggest booking in advance.

Just had a lovely breakfast at the revamped Condtable Park. The changes are great and make such a difference. The wallpaper is stunning and the colour choices are fabulous. Sarah and Ian have done a wonderful job. The breakfast, as always was very tasty and the service was wonderful 😊

Had a very nice coffee and gluten free scone which was delicious. Sat outside in the undercover part and even though a little chilly it was lovely, and we did ask to sit in the outside part so we knew what to expect.
