Little cafe by the side of the car park to the boat hire and pub with seating right on riverside. We chose this cafe as opposed to the pub food as the pub just did hot ‘pub grub’. We just wanted a nice fresh sandwich. This is such a great cosy cafe. We then went across to the back of the pub, sat by the riverside with a pint.

A beautiful spot by the river, quintessentially English with a fabulous choice of food and drink, it all sounds delicious! I have a dairy allergy and was overjoyed to discover a vegan lemon drizzle cake on the menu; a sublime slice of baked heaven. Alternative milk was also available so I could enjoy a loose tea cuppa too. Can't fault the food, the tea or the service, 10/10. Will be back in the summer!

Had the best brushetta I've ever had, they got it just right! Lots and lots of tasty, fresh tomatoes and lovely sour dough bread with the right amount of salad leaves with balsamic vinegar dressing. We shared a piece of Victoria Sponge as we were full from the brushetta but it looked too tempting and was very nice too. Lovely friendly little cafe.

We were en route from seeing our daughter in Bedford to West Devon avoiding motorways. We needed a break with a snack rather than a big meal.

What a find. Delightful folk behind the counter, fabulous food made freshly in house, vegetarian toasties and pastries.There is outside space but we chose to sit by the log burner.

We shall make a point of calling here on future trips. Hours out of season vary so telephone first

The best brownies I've had in a long time. Gorgeous place. Just wish it was open more!

Totally delicious salads freshly picked from a local garden set the scene for the very best cafe I can remember visiting.
Four wonderful visits mean we go there from 35 miles away and then decide where to go for our afternoon expedition along the upper Thames.
A simply wonderful place if you care about good food at modest prices in civlised surroundings.

Nice place but the size of the cup was ridiculous. They charged £2.80 for a mocha, small cup of which half was froth and two mouthfuls of actual coffee. I felt ripped off. Very over priced for an expresso sized mocha.

Lovely lady owner, beautiful decor - really quirky / vintage . cosy sofa by the fire. The carpark need to be paid by ticket, but you can get that refunded by the cafe. Great riverside setting. Outside seating for the summer months too.
