Beautiful dine in by the lake side. Place is lively cool and they have outside seating with lake view. Its romantic on a rainy day. Not much food options but will surely recommend the place for it's ambience.

This is in a wonderful location! Views of the lake and it's a good starting point for the various walks around the lake
BUT
they are being just a bit greedy with their pricing. We had coffees with the Cinnamon swirl bun. They sell the bun for £4.20 but buy it in from Cakesmiths (Bristol bakery) for £1.69. Why can't they content themselves with just 100% profit - which would mean they would sell the buns for £3.38. It just seems greedy to me.

A really lovely place to visit on a warm day. Took a stroll around the lake/reservoir plenty of places to sit and rest. Wheelchair accessible including the path around the lake and public toilets. A cool playground for the kids and lots of wildlife to see.

Friendly staff, lovely fish 'n' chips. Quick service, separate window for coffee and teas etc. Great surroundings for eating outside on the picnic tables.

4/5

This takaway section of the cafe was highly recommended on social media. We visit3d twice and thought it was operated..
I stress that we only had takaway and noy food in the sit down cafe.
We tried both cod and haddock on different days and scampi both times.
On both visits we has crushed peas, tartar sauce and curry sauce.
I have to say the fry on both days was variable and never quite right.
Scampi: slightly under fried the first day and quite overcooked the second day. So, more flavourful on the fist occassion than the second.
Fish: Cod was lovely and batter thin and crispy, but again slight under fried. On the second day Haddock which was pretty tasteles and the batterover cooked.
Chips on first day were tasty and perfectly cooked but sadly were pretty awful the second I would guess say either blanched twice or refried from chip box - really awful, sad and the taste stale.
Crushed peas: perfect, fresh and tasty on first day, older and pretty bland the second.
Tartar: excellent both days. A really good homemade sauce.
Curry sauce: perfect, well spiced.and.really nice.curry flavour on the first day, but overspiced , and.bloomin salt on the second - uncomfortabley hot spice which drown the flavour.of the chips etc.
So, really hit and miss!
Overall, the best I can give honestly is a 3.5 out of 5.
I think the fact that they have a monopoly on sales of food and drink on this lakeside site has made them complacent and this is reflected in the qualityand the overpricing for a takeaway venue.
I have also to say that although this whole site comes under the same name, they seem to be separate businesses! This can be seen also in the difference in facilities also. Takeway customers get grotty picnic council type benches in an are.which is scruffy and dirty that surround the site. The sit - down customers have a fenced-off seating area indoors and out with decent seating and kept clean, but not made available to the plebs (excuse my language, but that is how it feels).
There is also a kiosk built on to the outside wall selling drinks, both soft and alcaholic, but again far too pricey..like being at a festival!
Service at both was unengaging.

Photo attachedof second day food. I left chips peas and scampi from this batch.

We won't be giving them a third chance sadly.
Sorry Salt & Malt, you need to treat your customers and your ingredients better than this
