Tremendous shop and cafe who sell Monsoon Coffee. If you can get to this out of the way cafe, then you must go. It's like going back in time, Hannah and Ben, who run it, are absolutely brilliant. Make it happen

The owners are lovely and the building in just beautiful. Friendly atmosphere and the food is nice enough, just a bit limited in choice. Looking forward to enjoying their winter soups, I'm told they are delicious.

A really special place, great coffee from local roasters, with a village shop full of healthy and local produce. Run by a family that has the soul of the community at heart. Then there is the next door yoga studio operated by Ben, who, with Hanka manage this very special oasis of peace.

This is a cafe in the countryside with outdoor seating and a cosy quaint interior. The menu is limited but very nice. Likewise the cakes. It is popular with locals and walkers.

Visit when I come to P O S to see my Sister who lives in the Village. The Service is excellent and friendly, as are the Patrons of this wonderful Cafe/ Shop. I make a habit of going for a Full English at least once whenever I stay over at my Sisters'.
