“A fantastic selection of sweet and savouries with really friendly staff. The best egg custard I have ever tasted and I have tasted a few, believe me!”

“The owners of the cafe are very nice ladies, friendly to everyone and they serve food themselves. I liked the fet cheese on sourdough (with avocado and nuts), and also the egg on sourdough was lovely. Feels like home. Definitely recommending it”

“We hired The Little Kitchen for our works Christmas night out, and Donna and her team never fail to impress. They are so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely can’t do enough for you. We had the turkey Christmas dinner, which was absolutely delicious — a proper home-cooked meal with plenty of veg options. The red cabbage was especially amazing! There were two dessert choices, and I went for the chocolate one, which was so nice. They even let us bring along our own silly team games, which was perfect for our very competitive group. This was our second year returning, and we honestly wouldn’t find anywhere better for quality food and such a warm, friendly atmosphere. Thank you once again”

“Take my Dad here for breakfast on a Sunday . Food is always great and freshly prepared and never have to wait too long even when it’s busy. The staff are so friendly and helpful . They are a credit to the business .we visit on a regular basis even though Dad lives in Nottingham.”

“Treated myself last night to a banging dessert and milkshake . Lovely clean shop and lovely staff will definitely be back for more . My new weekend treat .”

“Love it here ! We go all the time. Food is amazing ! Well worth the money. Lots of choice with food and drink.”

“Shocked at the prices for national trust food. Very reasonable and well worth it for the quality alone. Good size portion and well presented. Faultless service and all this in the house's old kitchen complete with copper pans on the wall and a large open fireplace.”

“I have ordered from here a few times. I had the cookie dough which was absolutely amazing, very generous portion size too. My daughter loved her ice cream. The website is really convenient and straightforward to use. Would highly recommend.”
