Gatehouse

Very warm Sunday, cafe is a large room which was nice and cool unfortunately as it was not dog friendly we got to sit in the rear courtyard at a picnic bench. Not sure when they last swept given the debris there. Food was a simple selection though tasty and reasonably priced. You go to till to order and pay with them delivering hot food to the table.

Enjoyable lunch stop with very pleasant and helpful young man serving. Very nice setting and has outdoor seating to the front and rear. I had mushroom soup and a cheese sandwich combo, which had a cheaper deal on if bought together, as the young man kindly pointed out. The lemon drizzle cake was, I have to say, totally delicious. Only loses a star because the soup bowl was chipped and am afraid the cheese looked like processed cheese slices. Speak as you find, and I thought it was a pleasant café with helpful staff. I would revisit.

The Gatehouse is a nice place to enjoy a drink, lunch and cake on the afternoon of a summers day. Or any time of year. Its close the the playground for any children and close to the abbey if you fancy looking around. Its a nice pit stop to or back from the abbey or for passers by. I would definitely recommend it.
