Really cute cafe. The kids room is fab, perfect to sit and chat while your child plays. The food was lovely, staff friendly and relaxed. Will definitely go back on a nice day as the outdoors play area looked amazing for kids.

One of our favourite ever places. Such a hidden gem. I take my little boys there regularly, as well as introducing the place to friends and family. Its got a lovely play park with benches, and inside a variety of different rooms, some quieter ones or a family room with a section of toys for the little ones. The whole place has got a lovely homely feel to it, and also has changing facilties. The food is fantastic, with so much variety and the staff are always lovely. We usually go once a week, such a great place.

This was my first time at base camp, we went for the Easter egg hunt which was great fun for the kids. The play park there is superb ! Love the tree house/slide and the sand pit! Could have stayed there for hours. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and the staff are extremely kind and friendly.

Been here a few times and never disappoints. Staff are really friendly, food and drinks are lovey - definitely recommend the breakfast special on the blackboard. Good little play corner for toddlers inside (and even my 5 and 7 year old girls). And outdoor playground provides them with entertainment too. I always recommend this place to people as a nice friendly cafe to go to.

Visited for the first time for a late lunch. The friendliest 4 ladies serving! Lovey place with lots of different rooms. Tables, comfy armchairs, big sofas and a kids play section with ample toys and books. Food was lovely, felt v homecooked. Had a sausage and onion toastie, steak pie with mash and veg and the kids and spaghetti on toast. All reasonably priced. There’s also a big wooden play ground outside with a tree house. Big free car park at the back of the house just off Hall Road. Will be back!
