This is a lovely café with attentive and friendly staff that make you feel right at home. The food is generous, deliciously homemade, and arrives quickly, which is always a plus. The only small areas for improvement would be the floor, which could use a bit of cleaning and refreshing, and the tables for groups of 5 or 6, they could be a bit bigger, as we did feel a bit crammed during our Sunday lunch outing. However, these minor details didn’t take away from the overall great experience. I’ll definitely be back for another visit!

Had an afternoon tea with my sister, we requested an outside table as we had my sisters fur babies with us, we were sat outside underneath a parasol and it was wonderful, the staff were lovely & friendly and the food was delicious, it’s not the first time we’ve been, but felt a review was absolutely necessary after our wonderful afternoon there. Thank you poppies.

Myself and my partner went for a valentines lunch and it was so lovely. Nice atmosphere, quiet and relaxed. Massive portions on the lunch menu and for a really good price x

I've been coming to the Cafe for a few years now but last christmas I won their generous Give Away of Afternoon tea for 4! I took my parents along and my littlest daughter and they were happy for my daughter to come along instead of a 4th adult. Anytime I visit Poppy's they are friendly, generous and always happy to help. The place is always tidy with a great atmosphere. The food is always superb, fresh, homemade and beautifully presented. Can't ever find a fault. If you have left overs they're happy to supply a box to take bits home! The cakes... amazing, every single time. Personal fav is the Raspberry & Lemon Cake and the Banoffee Pie i have managed to have the once so far lol! Thank you for always being welcoming Can't wait to see you again soon.

What an absolutely fantastic experience we had today! I highly recommend. We had an afternoon tea for my mums birthday. This included a choice of which flavour cake we wanted, and what filling to our sandwiches. Yummy home made scone with local cream and jam to have on top as well. We even had unlimited tea and coffee! The food was delicious. The service was outstanding. Staff were welcoming and friendly. I look forward to returning soon.
