Cafés · Eye
A proper village café that's been quietly doing the same thing well for years, and it shows in how the staff greet people — regulars get a chat, first-timers get looked after. Breakfast is the headline: the full English comes back praised again and again, well presented and properly fresh, and the portions are generous enough that the spaghetti meatballs arrive as a genuine pile. Omelettes and paninis are solid, and the café special salad is loaded with feta, olives and halloumi. Drinks land fast, which matters when someone small has run out of patience. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating and free parking, and buggy access is fine. It gets busy — one visitor found it packed on a Monday lunchtime — so expect a wait for a table at peak times. Older children rate the Oreo milkshakes.
