We stopped in around 12pm today whilst viewing houses in the area. Myself, my partner and her mum as well as our 2 year old son. It was quite a hot day and although there were free tables outside we were please to find a table indoors where the vaulted ceilings provided much needed cool. We were greeted immediately by two extremely happy, welcoming and also beautiful people who gave us all the information we needed. Great selection of drinks and food which was all delicious, all freshly made with love and generous portions. It was a great insight into the local area as even the other customers were all very friendly. To sum up, a great spot with great food, run by great people. Thank you very much. Might be seeing you soon if we move to the area.

Mallabones provided a lovely afternoon tea buffet for a family funeral. It is a great space for a gathering or event. Zoey was very friendly and helpful and gave us a choice of menus and prices. Delicious quality sandwiches, cakes, teas and coffees. Highly recommended.

Great place we stopped at for a takeaway coffee and cake enroute to a day out further north. Fun staff, great cake and lovely coffees in an atmospheric old church hall.
