“ A lovely village cafe which is so much more. The solid, high-quality menu is always accompanied by an offering of specials as well as a range of cakes, meaning that you always have the opportunity to have either a tried and tested favourite or something new. The food is always cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. Favourites have to include the Benny 22, mushrooms and stilton, and, of course, the cinnamon buns. ”
“ I have been wanting to try this place for ages and it exceeded expectations. A cheerful cosy atmosphere, and the food was just delicious. Highly highly recommend. The hardest part was deciding which treat to end the meal with! 5 years later.... Still the best restaurant I've been to. Vibe 5 stars, food 5 stars, staff 5 stars. X ”

“ Today me and my mate went to the cook in the nook and it did not dissapoint, they have some exceptional drinks and a delightful little menu. We had the lovely poppy catering to us on this fine day, she provided and incredible service with a massive smile on her face, she was cracking jokes the whole time and created a genuinely pleasant atmosphere and just in general a lovely experience all around, would hugely recommend. However the atmosphere was let down a tiny bit due to a rude customer, even with all of this poppy handled it incredibly well. ”
