A regular family customer for coffee, tray bakes and ice creams. Staff always friendly and go out of their way with our kids, ice cream portions are huge but fairly priced. Great atmosphere and buzz always about it. Just what the Demesne needed. Haven’t tried their new menu since refurbing with the pizza oven but it won’t be long and I’m sure won’t be disappointed!

​I had a wonderful time visiting here for food. The menu offers great variety, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. The loaded fries were very good. ​My only constructive feedback is about the Buddha Bowl. Although it was delicious, the ingredients differed from the menu description. It was missing a stated component (like charred corn) and contained additional items (like squash). While the substitutions didn't take away from the flavor, ensuring the menu accurately reflects the dish would be helpful for future guests.

A local gem! Cosy atmosphere, staff are warm and welcoming, and the food is delicious, packed with flavour. You can tell everything is made with care and fresh ingredients. Highly recommend the Sunday Dinners.

We had my son's meal after his wedding in palace stables on Saturday. The meal was outstanding, and served hot. Service was so efficient, staff so pleasant and friendly. Would highly recommend Dantes. Thank you all so much. You added to our day.

Set in the lovely grounds of The Palace Demesne this cafe is a perfect spot for some lunch or some cake and a drink. We ordered sandwiches and wraps that were all delicious and perfectly presented would highly recommend. Plenty of seating available inside and out, despite it being busy staff seated us quickly and were attentive and welcoming.

We had a lovely brunch here at the weekend. Lots of choice on the menu, portion sizes were very generous and the french toast was delicious. The staff were very friendly and the food came very quickly even though it was very busy. It’s also in a great location with a children’s park and woodland walks beside it and plenty of parking. We will definitely be back soon to try more from the menu!

This place is one of a kind! The quality and flavour in everything I’ve had is incredible, so delicious. Would recommend the GOAT salad!
