Woodside café is a warm and welcoming place offering a simple menu of freshly prepared, home made fare. One measure of our success is the number of locals (and not-so-locals) who visit us regularly. To meet friends, watch the birds, read a gardening book from our bookshelves or just sit and soak up the atmosphere.
In summer, you can take a seat in the café garden and enjoy the air. In winter, come in out of the cold and sample the comfort of our log burning stove!
We are known for the freshness of our food and the calorific content of our cakes! All our cakes are made on the premises by our own staff. Our scones are made fresh every morning (they come out of the oven at 10am, just in case you are interested)– we don’t keep them or freeze them. Soups are made fresh daily, and are always gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians. We have now crept into the modern world and invested in a microwave – but we never use it for cooking, only for warming our butter for baking, warming up our delicious hot puds, quiche and homity pie and of course for heating up baby food.
Our menu features local produce and ingredients in season. In summer, we use salad crops and fruit from our own Kitchen Garden.
Our kitchen is open so you can watch us at work – but please, never ask Alexis for one of our recipes! (Only very occasionally do we give them away, so keep watching!)
