We spotted the park as a place to get our dog a run out during a long journey. In the pouring rain we were really happy that she was allowed into the Vale cafe. We had a warm welcome from the staff and fellow customers. Great value food - proper home cooked chips a highlight. Good COVID care being taken. Proper community cafe, we were lucky to find you!
