We absolutely love The Peacock Den. My girl friend and I come here every couple of months for our mums night out. Our regular waitress makes the experience even better - friendly, loves a chat and a laugh, happy to accommodate and remembers us too. We'll be back in a couple of months 😀

I had lunch with my husband and a good friend. We had a very enjoyable couple of hours. The menu is quite extensive with lots of choices. We all enjoyed our meals which were tasty, fresh and hot. We all chose something different from each other and we all cleaned our plate. We had coffee and a dessert to finish. My cheesecake was beautiful and again fresh not ‘old’ as sometimes you find for desserts in a cold display. It even had finely chopped fresh fruit as a garnish. Overall we loved it and would return without hesitation. Staff were friendly and polite.

We enjoyed our family Father’s Day brunch at Lorna’s. We all thought the food was delicious and attractively presented. The Chai Latte is definitely the best in the area.

Couldn’t decide what to eat so we got the chef’s selection and it was amazing! Really hard to choose a favourite dish but the steak was beautiful and the garlic prawns had the best sauce I’ve had in a long time. Awesome, attentive service and amazing cocktails too!

    We drove four hours to come to The Hatter and The Hare, and it was worth it! The atmosphere and decor was phenomenal, the cakes absolutely amazing and the coffee beautiful. We had brunch for a table of 9 and the menu choices were wonderful. Lots of spots to take photos at too, they have set up props and decorations for perfect photo opportunities. It was also great to be able to watch the bakers making the cakes. Only thing I didn't like was the small shrine of Islamic symbols. But other than that it was absolutely amazing
