The cafe serves a range of delicious looking cakes, sandwiches, salads and hot and cold drinks. I had a blueberry and white chocolate muffin and Chris went for a crazy looking hazelnut and chocolate pavlova, both of which were really good. We also shared a cafetiere of coffee while Chris read the paper and I finished my book.
As the cafe was so busy, we sat outside with a lovely view of the park. It's a great place to people watch, there are so many children and dogs running around there's always something to entertain and getting away from the traffic and concrete makes it feel peaceful even though the park is always busy.
While we were sitting outside a sweet lady asked us to look after this little guy, how cute is he?! Having Googled 'borrowing a dog to walk in London' a few days previously, it was great having a dog for the morning and I think he enjoyed eating the crumbs from our cakes.
There were a lot of children and it was ludicrously busy, but that goes for every cafe in Stokey. I imagine the prices are prohibitively expensive for many local families (around £5 for a coffee and a cake), but that won't prevent anyone from going into the house for a snoop or enjoying the gardens. The food and service were both good and having somewhere to pick up a tasty sandwich and a drink during the summer will be really handy, so all in all I think it's a great addition to the park.
