"How many cafes are open on a Sunday 9am til 3pm, as well as Wednesday to Saturday? For takeaways only during Covid. This gem of a little cafe is ideally situated next door to Gheluvelt Park in Worcester and an excellent place to pick up food drinks to enjoy for a picnic in the park. They do all day breakfasts, full Sunday lunch (preferably preorder or take your chance there will be some left! hot pork stuffing rolls (from 11.30am , freshly made sandwiches, ice cream cones, waffles pancakes and more. I only found this great cafe on Sunday 14th September, when my daughter I, with baby grandson in tow, were heading for a walk in the park on this hot day. Fancying a cold drink and something to eat picnicing in the park, we stopped here and were so glad we did. The couple running this cafe are lovely people and gave us a very warm welcome. Their young son was playing in the cafe and they served us over a small table set in the doorway, as the cafe is too small given social distancing limitations, hence takeaways only at this time. I wish them every success during this difficult period. We both ordered a homemade Elderflower Sparkle soft drink, made with elderflower, lemon and sparkling water, which came in generously sized cups with domed lids, filled to the very brim with added ice a slice too. I ordered a hot pork stuffing roll, while my daughter was tempted into trying a roast beef Sunday lunch. She was lucky enough to get one, as their Sunday lunches are very popular and it is usually wise to preorder yours in advance rather than face disappointment. After a nice chat while waiting a short while for our order, we received a bag with the food all wrapped in foil, with paper napkins plastic cutlery supplied and the drink cups in a cardboard holder. People came for ice cream cones while we were waiting. Off we went into the park to find a shadey spot for our picnic. My daughter's roast beef lunch was hot and a generous helping, served in a foil tray with Yorkshire puds in a bag and gravy in a tub. She thoroughly enjoyed her meal. My hot pork stuffing roll was a good size and filled with no fewer than four slices of pork and a generous helping of stuffing. Apple sauce and gravy had been offered but I didn't want them. I very much enjoyed this roll, while looking enviously at my daughter's full Sunday lunch. The ice cold Elderflower Sparkle drinks were really great and refreshing on this hot day. Prices were very reasonable. Finding this lovely little cafe run by this very welcoming couple is a great find and we will be back again. Ideal for refreshments to take into the park or home. We will have to try their waffles and pancakes too! Thoroughly recommended!!!"

"when we arrived, there was parking on the grounds, which was beautiful. all staff were very friendly and welcoming. the pub is a beautiful small place. spacious and accessible. the prices are very good. free drink good to the times we went. has a separate frit for the vegan kitchen! both the paints we went the pub had a nice atmosphere, seemed clean, and smell good, no overwhelming stale beer / big smell. the food we had; jackfruit wedges were big, fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside. the pulled jackfruit had a sweet bbq taste that worked really well with the wedges. buffalo flower cabbage wings are a great starter. that is a court that my partner and I love, and that was very good. the sauce would be better if she had more acid, like a traditional buffalo sauce. moving mountains burger cooked quite well, not pink in the middle, but was still very juicy and tender. the construction of the burger was stable and the ingredients inside were fresh and the bungalow tasted beautiful. serve the meal with a larger or steak knife would be good, so if they wish they can cut the burger in the half. the koleslaw was crisp, but it's not my thing, because I don't really like sweet chili sauce. the chips were perfectly cooked and delicious. I'd rather be vegan cheese on the burger rather than pulled jackfruit, but that's my favorite. vegan mayonnaise would be an amazing supplement! I love mayo with my chips and burgers. aubergine bake tasted like a pretty good ratatouille. the one we had was perfectly cooked, and the hazelnut crumbs was delicious. the garlic caabatta was a perfect companion. chocolate and cheese cake was rich and delicious. there was not much of a cherry taste, but was still very nice as a chocolate cheese cake. the vegan ice was extremely good. eis had a strong vanilla taste that worked well with the cheesecake. Jesus jam donut pudding was okay. I had little taste and found it quite dry and disappointing. the first time we went into the pub to eat the marstons vegan menu that was not good. I think this was that we were the first people to order one of the vegan dishes. parts of the courts were late or completely missed. the general manager got contact and expanded a offer for us when his guests come back to try the menu again and apologize for the previous experience. we were very happy that we were eating this time was delicious. they now seem to have a good understanding of the new menu. I would recommend this pub to anyone who wants to try the new marstons vegan menu. updated by previous review on 2018-09-18"
