Lovely little cafe run by 2 sisters, both very friendly and efficient. The food was good. They have a varied menu, and we are going back to sample the lunches. Lovely outlook over canoe lake

Been living in gosport nearly 4 years and only just visited here. Didn't actually know there was a cafe here. The gluten free carrot cake was amazingly tasty and worth the money. Staff kindly provided us with takeaway boxes for our huge slab of cake!

Lived in Gosport many years but never been too this cafe/restaurant. Fabulous place ..bright,spotlessly clean Warm , freindy, welcoming. Staff were exceptional. Prices are amazingly good value . Menu choice is extremely good. The weather was bright n sunny this morning so it made the experience all the more powerful and it highlighted the small but lovely balcony overlooking the model yacht club lake and alver lake .. In conversation with staff and manager I discovered you can actually hire the cafe out of an evening . It caters for 20-45 people ranging from approx 10 per head upwards . I strongly recommend you try this cafe but it is popular so I would suggest you phone ahead . Please Note .... ATMO they only take Cash Payments..

Some really great food here. I recommend the full English. Sit outside on the balcony watch the model boats in the boating lake whilst you enjoy breakfast. Take cash with you as they don’t accept cards which is the only down side.

Travelled all the way from Scotland for a party at this amazing place. Gorgeous setting, fabulous views and an amazing cafe and bar. It made a perfect party venue. Lovely and clean inside, bright and felt spacious, amazing friendly staff, couldn't do enough for us. Food for party was a buffet and everything was good quality and really tasty as well as being plentiful. Great little bar, well stocked and very reasonably priced. Outside balcony area with seating was perfect for a little breather and fresh air. The atmosphere inside was terrific and it has a lovely little circular spot which makes a perfect dance floor. Staff were always on the go, keeping everything flowing and clearing. Toilet facilities nice and clean. I cant recommend this place highly enough, best party ever, I can't wait to pop in next time I travel down to try their everyday menu which I was told by regulars is lovely and fresh.

Stopped here for breakfast and was very impressed. There big breakfast is big well cooked bacon, comes with toast and a tea or coffee and not expensive at 7.20. Service was efficient and the place clean and welcoming with views over a boating lake. Parking is possible on the road or in the car park and the place is fully accessible to all.
