My daughter treated me to a lunch voucher for Mother's day at a Cafe of my choice so I chose this one as had always wanted to visit and it did not disappoint. We ordered the high tea platter and both enjoyed everything on it. My little granddaughter came along too and was provided with a high chair at the table and loved her bowl of chips. It was a lovely and relaxing ambience in The Conservatory and the service was great too so plan to make another booking soon to celebrate the birthdays of my husband's parents. Also appreciate that they offer some alternatives to coffee and the hot choc mint is delicious.

Wonderful gem! We had a great experience at The Conservatory Cafe. The setting is beautiful—surrounded by gardens with a playground that was perfect for our kids. The food was fresh and tasty, with a nice range of options (great coffee too). Staff were friendly and helpful, and the space felt relaxed but lively. Great spot for brunch or a catch-up, and ideal for family outings. Highly recommend!

BEAUTIFUL FOOD, BEAUTIFUL CAFE Not only is the food SUPER affordable, the portion sizes are super generous, presented beautifully and are super tasty. Lucky for me it’s a 2 minute walk from my new house, this will for sure be becoming my regular.

Called in for brunch and were shown to a table immediately by a polite staff member. Our meals arrived very quickly and were certainly of a good standard. Apart from an overtired child we were very happy with the atmosphere. However I was horrified to see a young waitress setting up several tables for lunch handling virtually every fork by its prongs. Probably some training in etiquette and hygiene needed for staff.

Love going to cafe on a regular basis today I had the high tea can totally recommend if it is just two people or even four could do it as well. The food was fresh and delicious and staff were both friendly and professional. Wide variety on the menu as well whether it be for breakfast or lunch or special occasion.
