  We wouldn't go back for a meal without pre-booking due to nearly an hour long wait for 2 simple meals. Here's our experience in full with the negatives first then positives:
  
  Negatives
  
  Saturday lunchtime myself and my partner spent almost an hour waiting for a chilli and chips and a bruschetta and soup.
  
  When all but the chips would have been prepared in advance, this was unexpectedly bad. I was told at the till that pre-booked groups get their food first. But so many people seemed to arrive, get their food and leave whilst we waited that I can only assume lunchtime must have been back to back pre-booked, with us being served after almost everyone else!
  
  As we were paying I asked if they realised we'd waited nearly an hour for our food and the response was all about how busy it was. I could see it was busy and the waiting staff were working really hard but I felt our side of things met with little sympathy and a not very enthusiastic apology.
  
  Our food - the soup wasn't hot and the chips were soggy. I'm guessing this was because our order was rushed at the end as I suspect the standards are usually better than that.
  
  Due to the long wait we had no time left for the puddings with custard and coffees that we'd been looking forward to and had to get take away cake instead.
  
  Large and very noisy pre-booked groups gave it an unpleasant, pub-like atmosphere rather than that expected of tea room.
  
  Positives
  
  Friendly and accommodating staff, lovely place full of character with vintage pieces on display for sale, quirky layout, amazing cakes, all food nicely presented, lovely coffee, good varied choice of light bites and main meals. Good quality food.
