Staff are very friendly and hospitable. Menu is great but you need to go to the front counter to see it as the QR code on the laminated table leaflets takes you to a limited version of their actual offering which is a shame. Food is delicious and there is ample choice for vegans which is a big plus. Service is brilliant and location is wheelchair accessible. Will definitely pop round again after a park run.

First visit to the Pavilion. Cappuccino was great but savoury food on menu was very much bread based on all meals available at lunchtime which was a bit heavy going sadly. Too many green leaves and Vegi sausage was dry. Would not select this meal again.
