Lovely cafe, feels very home from home inside with comfortable tables and chairs plus sofas! Friendly staff, who are always cheerful and go out their way to make it the best possible experience! Food is cooked/served fresh, and very tasty! They also have homemade cakes/tray bakes supplied by local businesses. Plenty of options to choose from regarding drinks, hot or cold. Not to mention a little sweet pick n mix section and shelf space for local crafters to sell their products! You can eat in or takeaway. Very reasonably priced. They are also dog friendly!

We absolutely love it here! Whether you fancy a bacon roll on a weekend morning, a cheeky late afternoon coffee and cake in the week, or a more substantial toastie and milkshake when the tummy is growling, you won’t find better than Brew Book. Generous portions, gorgeous cakes and the nicest people you’ll meet!

Lovely little cafe in centre of community with a library attached. We had the rolls, offered GF bread, rather than a strict GF offer, and a huge piece of biscoff cakes. Great selection of cakes and pies. Local small business selling puts and pieces makes interesting display. Clean, friendly atmosphere, helpful staff. Not much parking nearby as shares with local shops so walk it or bus it... Definitely worth a visit.

My 8 yr old granddaughter says it’s her favourite cafe now! She chose the kid’s lunch w/cheese sandwich- she said the bread was especially good! And she is still raving about the millionaire brownie!!! (See pic)…Also she had dragonfruit/mango drink. Grandma says their coffee is really good too
