Lovely cafe, the owners are very friendly and make the food to order. The specials menu changes with the seasons. Have had a fabulous quiche in the summer, straight out of the oven and hot chilli jacket potatoes in the winter. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend

Ordered afternoon tea take away for 8 with vegan, Diary free etc. They catered for everyone's needs and feedback for diary free was best they ever had. We had so much food and it was all tasty. I'd use again, so much easier than going out. A big thank you.

Amazing owners, I was feeling unwell and they offered paracetamol’s. It’s very caring of them, I really appreciated it and it meant a lot to me. As always the service is first class, the food is great. I am very happy that they are here in Hatfield Heath.

A little gem. Home made cakes are delicious. Love that the tea is served in a pot so you can at least get 2 cups out of it. Makes all the difference when you are going out for just afternoon tea and cake.
