The café offers a splendid selection of freshly prepared dishes that cater to every taste. Whether you’re craving a hearty breakfast or a light lunch, The Vine Tree has something for you. Dive into their Freshly Prepared Salad featuring a delectable choice of ham and chicken salad, perfect for those looking for a refreshing meal. For seafood lovers, the menu boasts an array of delightful Fish Dishes including tender Cod, crispy Scampi, and flavorful Plaice. Don't miss the equally tempting Rock and Skate Wings which bring the freshness of the ocean right to your plate!

The café takes pride in its friendly service and homely atmosphere, where regular visitors mingle with newcomers, creating an inviting environment.

Mo Alderton loved the perfectly cooked scrambled eggs, while other visitors echoed the sentiment regarding the friendly staff that make you feel right at home.

It's important to mention that while The Vine Tree excels in many areas, some patrons noted that the toilet facilities could use an upgrade. However, with such pleasant experiences in other aspects, many agree that the café is well worth the visit.

Our first visit here but it won't be our last. The food was excellent and plenty of it. Can't wait to go back again. I had steak & kidney pudding with loads of mash and lovely gravy. My husband had moussaka salad and coleslaw which he said was really nice. Two cups of coffee each and all for less than £25. Great value. Linda & nigel

The portions are large and very reasonably priced. The food is made to orders so everything is freshly cooked (family of 4 had fried breakfasts). They were very accommodating to smaller appetites (our children) and the staff were all lovely and atmosphere very friendly and welcoming.

Visited here twice during 5 day short break. Food very reasonably priced and very tasty too. Ideal for people with dogs seating area upstairs. Offered a bowl of water for the dog too! Easy access for those with disabilities. Only downside was that the toilet facilities need good clean and updating. Staff very pleasant.
