"Absolutely adore this place! I find taking a walk around the ruins so pleasant knowing my kids and I can have a little break and refreshments at the kiosk. Charlie and his staff are always so kind and helpful. The cakes are delicious and the coffees are made perfectly!"

"Whilst staying in Abbey Wood happened upon this delightful small oasis in the park, however the star of the show has to be Charlie who was friendly, engaging and even changed some food when he realised it wasn’t to our liking . In this fast moving world we live in, it’s refreshing to be able to find a place of Tranquility with good old-fashioned manners and more importantly service with a smile. Thank you Charlie, we were the people with the toast"

"Fantastic little place to grab coffee, tea, cakes, snacks and sandwiches to enjoy in beautiful surroundings. They have some benches and tables outside with a iovely park view or you can take it and sit on one of the picnic tables around the other side with a nice view of Abbey Ruins. The.food and drinks are good and people very friendly. Recommended. There are also some handy restrooms around the side of the building."
