The food was tasty, fairly priced and my boyfriend was very pleased with the portion size… (even the dog was jealous!). We definitely recommend a visit People often mention walk, nice, lovely, staff, friendly, cafe, breakfast,

    This place is amazing to eat at. After enjoying a walk around with our dog we grabbed a table outside and ordered lunch. The food is great quality, fresh ingredients, cooked to order and served to your table. The eating area in set overlooking their ponds and lots of greenery. Eating here is relaxing, enjoyable and so reasonably priced! 5.95 quid for my tuna crunch, and 7.95 for a full English breakfast and they also have doggie sausages 1 quid for your furry friend for a pound and lots of free water for the dogs as well. We visited on a cold January weekday and we'll worth sitting in the cold fresh air. I will be returning weekly. Card payment preferred. Go, you'll be glad you did.

    Clean air, lushful greens and great food. This is what it makes a worthwhile visit. Start the day with nature trail and end up with a nice veggie burger and strawberry shake. Yes I am a vegetarian and there burgers are good. The taste of warm tomato soup on cold breeze day just warms you up from inside. Definitely suggest to make time and visit on a peaceful morning or lunch.

    Lots of dogs around and water is available for them, I had a bowl of chips and a mocha. It was lovely however I finished my drink before my chips arrived, took about 25 minutes for one bowl of chips

    Took my 6 month old puppy for a walk at High Elms Country Park and was delighted to find the Green Roof Cafe. As I’m on my own and you can’t take dogs in to order thought I might have to go without but Benjamin, one of the members of staff came out and looked after Ruby whilst I ordered. He also delivered my order to the table. Tamsin took my order and very kindly read all the sandwich options out to me as I didn’t have my reading glasses with me. Great staff and service. The food was great and such a reasonable price. I will definitely return and highly recommend this cafe.

    Nice cafe ideally situated after having a nice walk around the park. It’s nice to be able to sit down and have somewhere to eat some lunch. On this occasion. I had a hot chocolate and a mature cheese salad sandwich which was very nice. I sat in the indoor seating area which is not too bad. The tables are slightly smaller than average so I would say if coming with a larger family gathering I would sit in the outdoor seating area which I have also done and it is it nice experience in the summer. The staff are lovely. The food was nice access to the Cafe was easy even early on a weekday still slightly busy which is a good sign. The only downside was there was some random boxes of stock in the seating areas that was it. Everything else was lovely. Next time I go back I think I’m going to go back and have breakfast as I saw someone with a breakfast and it looked lovely

    Totally dogtastic! Seating inside and outside in the beautiful surroundings of High Elms country park. Food was excellent, though service was a bit slow. Prices are better than many other places. You can get wine and beer here but it's not cheap at £4.90 for a bottle of Spitfire.

    A simple cafe with indoor/outdoor seating, offering hot and cold lunches as well as afternoon tea. The café is surrounded by greenery, in High Elms Nature Reserve. Prices are reasonable the food is fresh and nicely presented and some home-made cakes are always available. I tried the gluten-free carrot cake on my last visit, which was fresh and moist. Scones are not home-made, so being fussy, I didn't try the afternoon tea. My companion had a ham sandwich served with salad, also very fresh. Highly recommended, welcome break after a walk in the woods!

    Had a lovely hot chocolate with the family to warm us all up on our winter walk. Really lovely staff, friendly and welcoming. Recommend this place to all. Never disappoints.

    Excellent company, nice food and pleasant surroundings. Perfect place for a date after a walk in the woods.

  • 5/5 Helen H. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely relaxing place. Good menu for eating in or outside. Helpful and friendly staff. Finish or start your walk with a cuppa, or something more substantial. It is a hot favourite with dog walkers and their pooches as they are particularly well catered for here with little bowls of sausage or chews. Can get a bit mad sometimes, not unknown for a dog to take off after wildlife whilst still tethered to a chair. Short nature walk, bee hives, orchards and large pond so lots of wildlife,birds to dragonflies. Very easy to while away an afternoon in the sun. Limited blue badge parking on hard standing. Or park in the park's carpark which has plenty of space and is a short walk away.

    Nice cafe. Popular and busy. Didn't get food but grand daughters enjoyed an ice cream and milkshake. The latte I had was very nice too. Will go back.

    A nice place to have breakfast and lunch here. I had the English breakfast. It was delicious and filling. At a good price. The staff are friendly. Perfect place for people with dogs to sit and eat outside. Overall, a very nice cafe.

    Great place for a cuppa and sandwich, cooked food as well. Perfect stop after a walk around the golf course and woods.
