This cafe combines the warmth of a family-run establishment with a vibrant atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both social gatherings and quiet retreats.

As you step inside or take a seat on their inviting outdoor patio, you’re greeted by the lovely aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods. Spencer’s menu is a delightful celebration of wholesome flavors, featuring a variety of delicious sandwiches, fresh salads, and their signature homemade cakes that are just waiting to be explored.

The atmosphere is nothing short of charming, with a cozy interior complemented by friendly faces ready to serve you. As one customer, Carolyn Pritchard, beautifully describes, “We sat on the outdoor patio, the quietness was wonderful as was the gnarled tree view.” This tranquility makes it a great escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Your taste buds will thank you, particularly if you take the advice of James Haskell, who asserts you MUST try their chips—perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they are a true crowd-pleaser!

The cafe is highly recommended, not just for the food but for the experience as a whole. Whether it's a cozy winter day made warmer by their log burner or a sunny summer afternoon basking in the courtyard, Spencer’s offers the perfect setting for a memorable outing. The gift shop also adds a special touch; a great bonus for picking up unique items to remember your visit by, as Anne Harrison noted in her delightful review.

Fifth visit here, and once again a real delight. This time with elderly Mum-in-law, who absolutely loved it. We sat on the outdoor patio, the quietness was wonderful as was the gnarled tree view. The food was delicious, the bread/sandwiches are tasty and very fresh. The service was impeccable and very friendly, engaging with us for light chit-chat. Looking forward to our next return.

A really friendly welcome. In the winter, they have a log burner on which keeps it lovely and warm. In the summer, seating is also available in the courtyard. Very happy with the choice of food, a good variety. You MUST try their chips, Crisp on the outside & fluffy on the inside. Perfect.
