Had your chocolate cake at our work today, absolutely stunning. I’m not good with cakes that are too sweet and this was just perfect.

Thank you so much for your hospitality yesterday. it was absolutely wonderful. I was delighted with the traybakes that I ordered and also the fact that you kindly supply refreshments at no extra cost. It was such a lovely gesture that meant so much to both myself and the people on the course.

The whole day was a huge success and I do feel that the comfort, warmth, and space in the training room played a large part in this. Everyone commented on the room, layout and pleasant atmosphere they were working in.

I look forward to returning in the New Year!

Fabulous breakfast of ciabatta roll with bacon (the bacon was cooked to perfection) Fabulous choice of teapigs to choose from, but for me the best part by far was the use of local made pottery to serve the food and drinks (all of which you can buy from Brougham Hall pottery should you wish to treat yourself) Cafe 4Eden are driven by a view to helping local community – I’d highly recommend dropping in for stone soup or a cuppa. It was our first visit under the new ownership (and Kim’s footsteps are hard to fill) but it’s a 10/10 from us – we’ll definitely be back ?
