One reviewer said: "Such a brilliant experience and very satisfied with the strawberries (sweet and juicy for real not supermarket lies) Park your car, choose your bucket and go pick them on your own, pay at the end, friendly staff at tills, we arrived quite late so nothing left at the cafe, but they do amazing cakes as seen on their facebook page.
"They also had raspberries and blackberries. It works out around £6.3/kg we paid £10 for a whole bucket but there lots of them fitting in. Will definitely come back. Area is also easy accessible and not very muddy. Plenty of fruits."
