Popped in for an impromptu bite to eat after a walk around the lake. What a little gem this place is. Lovely outlook, lovely food, the chips were especially delicious, the best i've had by far 😋 & lovely staff. Highly recommended.

We stopped off here after a 6-mile walk on the Clydach trail. It's a real gem of a place on the lakeside. There's a bar and cafe serving a varied menu and beverages. The outside area overlooks the lake with plenty of seating, although it would benefit from a covered area in inclement weather if you have your canine companion. The staff are very friendly and the service is good. The view of the lake and its wildlife are delightful. We will definitely be visiting again.

Very well organised. You chose your Sunday diner when booking. A table will then be reserved for you. You pay before you have the meal. The diner was just the right size. A little fault that the food became cold very fast. The desserts were scrummy. We took a walk after the meal and then came back for coffee. Their capaccino was not as tasty as Costa.

Fantastic food, but they took too long to serve and got the orders mixed up. Views of the lake was stunning and the food worth waiting for.
