This is a lovely place, beautiful setting and friendly staff, yes the cafe finishes serving hot food one hour before they close, they are a small cafe servicing a very busy park at times. Everything is made fresh to order and serving homemade cakes and good quality coffee, you couldn’t find a nicer spot on a sunny day This is an unfair forum for people to post anything they like without question, you make up your own minds.

We visit here a few times a year on our motorbikes, free parking for bikes. Food always been good with a nice cheerful person serving us. Ovely just sitting on the Fernando watching the wildlife on the lake. We'll be back soon as over a month has passed.
