this is beautiful place for lovely food in a traditional garden setting. There is a play ground for kids and a giant chess game. Watch out for the honey eaters if you order scones with jam and cream, they are VERY friendly. There is also a cellar door with beautiful jams and preserves and tastings of muscats, liqueurs and ciders - delish!
