locally sourced produce in the heart of leicestershire

Quality Food made fresh every day

We offer indoor and outdoor dining experiences with over 100 covers. Our café is brimming with character with a welcoming relaxed atmosphere for you to unwind and enjoy, and our conservatory and veranda offer incredible views across the green valley.

Our seasonal menu is created to suit the time of year and wherever possible we always try to use local ingredients.

Our extensive breakfast menu is sure to provide you with the perfect start to your day from the full ‘farmers’ to avocado and smoked salmon.

The lunch menu is aimed at satisfying all appetites from light bites to a main meal, with daily specials available.

We offer a full afternoon tea made up of a range of sandwiches, homemade cakes and fresh scones with lashings of jam and cream for just £14.95 per person. We need just 24 hours notice to book.

The ideal gift is available for that special occasion in the form of vouchers from £10.00 to the full afternoon tea for two.

Well behaved dogs are more than welcome in our conservatory and outside, please keep your dogs on a lead at all times as not all customers are dog lovers.

Wifi is available throughout the site.
