Chapel Cross Tea Room

Highlight • Religious Site

Really tiny historic chapel that has been converted into a small cafe. Independently run by a really friendly, community minded woman named Rose. Incredibly cheap prices and really lovely home made cake.
The cafe is really secluded although there isn't anywhere obviously secure to leave a bike. Take a mini lock for peace of mind if you do cycle over.
At time of writting opening times are Wednesday to Saturday 11am-4pm.
