"VERY DOG FRIENDLY - HADI THE MANAGER WAS SO KIND! I had a fabulous lunch today with my sweet pug Bella, who was really hungry after a 3-mile walk along the river in Otley. The lovely manager Hadi made us so welcome. She made Bella a yummy puppuccino, then cooked her two amazing sausages for lunch! Such great and friendly service. Bella had the best time - thanks so much and we'll see you again soon . Woof woof!"

"A useful place to drop in for a quick bite or beverage while on a walk along the river. I had a pot of tea for £2.10. The cafe is wheelchair accessible, there is a toilet to the right of the entrance and payments have to be made by card only."

"Nice little spot to sit and relax while the kids burn off energy, and you can call them in when the food’s ready. Finally, a proper burger and chips served in an actual bread bun. The kids loved the large hot dog and sausage with chips. Decent portions, decent price, and a genuinely decent meal all round."
