I absolutely love this place. It's simply the nicest experience to sit in the garden surrounded by beautiful flowers, in such a magnificent setting. The food is delicious; from cake and coffee to a salad lunch. The staff are accomodating, friendly and attentive. You really can't go wrong. My favourite place in Salisbury.

It's worth a visit just for the view! That aside, the drinks and cakes were excellent. Just lovely.

Love this place. Not a massive menu but a varied and interesting range. The mushroom lasagne is wonderful served with an excellent salad (or garlic bread as an alternative). Can heartily recommend as we've used the cafe for coffee as well as meals for some time and have never been disappointed.
