This is a very nice large cool cafe, a very welcome respite on a hot day, clean and comfortable with toilets. All sorts of coffees, teas and cold drinks available plus sandwiches, cookies, cakes etc. The young staff were friendly. I didn't see any hot food on offer but there is a kitchen (maybe I was there at the wrong time) price of food and drinks reasonable, the sandwiches were very fresh and delicious.

A nice and decently-sized cafe with a good selection of hot and cold drinks, overlooking part of the reservoir. Plenty of tables, and an outside seating area too.

A lot of people are blaming the cafe for the 7 parking. The parking price is awful and needs addressing, but I'm not sure if you can blame the Cafe for that. Food was good, view was lovely, the price wasn't too high for the food, chips were amazing! We had one issue the second lot of fries were missed but that was sorted out quick and without fuss. Guy on the till was nice about it and just got it all sorted. 2.50 for a Pepsi is a little steep, maybe a drinks machine would allow the prices to drop. Seating was comfortable, tables were clean, allows dogs. Minus that parking fee I'd visit more. Although a note I forgot to say the sausages are NOT dog friendly, maybe they could obtain some unseasoned sausages for dogs. Maybe plain pork ones, 6 for 2 at a super market and sell them at 75p each pre cut for pups ready to go. Allows for 2 profit per pack if you account 50p for cooking consumables.
