A very cute little restaurant witha patio facing the gardens of HCP. Their menu changes quite often, depending on the ingredients that are delivered from neighbouring farms. So, this is just an example of what you can expect when you come to visit. The food is made with quality ingredients and is used to create soups, sandwiches, salads, savoury pies, farm fresh eggs and the beloved oatmeal pancakes.
