Stepping into the Side House feels like walking into cake heaven, where every slice is a masterpiece and every bite has a little celebration baked right in. From the warm welcome to the drool-worthy cake display, they’ve got the dessert scene on lock. These cakes aren’t just desserts—they’re experiences. Made with seasonal, local ingredients, each cake has its own vibe. One bite of the lemon drizzle, and you’re basking in eternal summer; a slice of chocolate fudge, and you’re suddenly in cozy autumn bliss. And the variety! You could come every day and still not try them all—though I’m game to give it a shot. The staff is as sweet as the cakes, and let me tell you, resisting a second (or third) helping is practically impossible. Five stars, but only because they don’t let you give ten!

This place is an absolute gem, easy accessible free parking. Plenty of tables for outdoor dining. Tables inside on the ground level and top floor. Remember to get your table number first before you order as the food is served to your table so you will need to know this when you order. The menu is fantastic we have been for breakfast and lunch. The cakes and hot drinks are incredible. Spoilt for choice for both, all the cakes are home made and look, and taste amazing. I would highly recommend this place for a quick coffee, a coffee and a cake, breakfast, brunch or lunch. There’s a fabulous park just next door for children to enjoy, and dogs can be outside in the dining space. The staff are soo friendly and lovely, it’s honestly a joy visiting this place. Thank you and we will see you soon

First time visiting after hearing good things and can say it was worth the hype. Homemade food and genuine service from lovely people. Lovely sitting outside with all the tables a good distance away from each other which is a rarity surrounded by greenery and lovely colour. If I’m being picky, the plates are a bit too small with the amount of food on them and just a suggestion to have a few more tables and chairs outdoors as all were taken and most had to sit indoors. Also chips would be a great addition to the menu 5/5 though we will definitely be back
