Myself, my wife, 4 year old son and 8 month old toddler went here for lunch today, I had the tuna melt, wife had jacket potato and son had the kids packed lunch. Food was unbelievably good, staff were super friendly and a great little cafe in the perfect location.

Popped in yesterday just to grab a coffee and a sausage sandwich, I have to say it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had, I mean you wouldn’t think it would be difficult to make a sausage sandwich, but so many people get it wrong! The bistro has definitely experimented with different breads because this was perfect it didn’t fall apart and I didn’t end up with a deconstructed sandwich , all washed down with a very nice americano. It was busy when I visited at 10am which is so great to see, I’ll definitely be back

Lovely staff and a great break from the weather. The food is always great! They have food for young and old. They have a good selection of ice creams for young and old and even have the traditional whipped ice cream cones as well. The coffee is amazing they offer all variants of milk as well. Air conditioning inside which is great on a steaming hot day. It’s a definite recommendation from me.

It was our first time visiting Beacon Park and such a lovely find, we'll bring our Grandkids back here. The only problem was we felt like we were being rushed. We got there at 2.50pm and was told there was no food but cakes, couldn't even warm a sausage roll up. Very off putting when you have staff cleaning floors around you, chairs on tables inside and people being turned away. It was a beautiful day, lots of people around and we saw at least 8-10 people being put off, when businesses are struggling it's a bit bad. We may be back
