Pretty nice and set in great countryside, usual selection of hot and cold drinks and some fantastic home made cakes. Great for meet ups with friends also has hot meals but I've not had any for a while now so can't comment in detail.

My favourite place in the world! I've been coming to the Jinney Ring regularly since I was 4 years old, I'm now 29, and ever since being a young girl feeding the ducks would say I wanted to get married here. When I was proposed to 3 years ago I didnt even consider anywhere else for our wedding, and 3 years later we had our amazing day here. They couldn't do enough for us, everything was literally perfect. The food was, as it always is, incredible. Everyone said how amazing it was and the portions were brilliant. Amanda and Carolyn were always there to help and I'm just so happy with everything

Always worth a visit either for that special gift for someone or just for a cup of tea and a slice of their delicious cake. We bought some lovely icicles from the glass blowers on site they look fantastic on the tree.
