Lightwater Country Park Cafe

10 out of 10. Amazing food and pocket friendly prices. Special thanks to the chef who always comes over to check we're happy and Ellie who always keeps the atmosphere pleasant.

Wow what a hidden gem this place really is!
We came for brunch today and we loved the whole experience from food, drinks, service, the location and free parking here makes this place really stand out!
I ordered sweet potato waffles, avocado and egg which was amazing! This is not the type of food you would expect from a park cafe but this definitely isn’t JUST a park cafe. We also tried the full English and a toastie which were all great! We even tried some of the baked good from cinnamon buns to croissants to cakes and brownies this place has you covered!
I would throughly recommend this cafe and we really enjoyed the woodland walk and park afterwards too. They have free parking onsite and a lake to walk around too.
We look forward to returning :)

Arguably the best Full English I have ever had! Real sourdough bread is all I have to say! Keep up the good work, guys!

Never been to this park before and we were very happy to discover it had a cafe. We had a full English breakfast, Brie, cranberry & bacon panini and 2 lots of avocado on toast. We also had muffins and cakes for dessert. Everything was presented really nicely and tasted good. Staff were friendly, cafe was clean and tidy and you can take dogs inside.

Every week I visit the Country Park with my wife, two year old granddaughter and dog. We always have the same order which is often readied for us as we walk in. Great almond croissants, good coffee and great service. Plenty of high chairs and books for little people. There are complimentary dog biscuits too. A gem of a place to visit.

Stopped for quick lunch en route to Dorset, 2 ladies very friendly. Good coffee, great breakfast baps. 😋

Delightful, rustic coffee bar and cafe, the food looks delicious but I walked over the sports fields and found another more anodine cafe which was also good.

Great little Cafe in Lightwater Country Park. Perfect place to spend an afternoon with family and friends 😊 lots to do for the children and adults too.
Beautiful spot 😍

Excellent menu. Delicious food. Great coffee. Friendly staff. Nice location. Best cafe in the area.

I booked the cafe for a birthday party today and received a lovely stress free service from the team. The staff were helpful and very very lovely. Tam organised everything brilliantly. Thank you, Tam and the team.

From the outside you see a wooden house. That immediately changes when you walk in. Floor to wall is wood, beautifully treated decorated with art work by local artists. The tables are all individually hand painted the seat are comfortable The lighting gives you a warm cosy feeling. On the counter and protected by glass are a selection of stunning cakes and fine pastries sitting on slate tiles, which just adds class. accommodating every bodies dietary requirements. The menu is tastefully written its clear, the quantity and quality of food is of a very high standard. Excellent value for money. Every need is catered for, their hot/ cold drinks and a tipple for the adults . Proof of id must be available. For children there is a selection of books, to occupie them in wet weather. All takeaway items are biodegradable.
Even when very busy the staff great you with a smile and hello they are aware of any allergies and if not are able to locate the correct information and find out. They keep a good good eye contact and you don't feel under pressure. The
staff make a lovely coffees and there is a selection of different milks.
The table service was very impressive I went at a busy time, yet the staff new where to work what needed to be done.
The standard of cleaning was also very high. This is a must have visit all year round.
Our beloved four legged friends are also very welcome with a selection of biscuits and plentiful supply of fresh water. If sitting in side is not for you there is ample seating outside.

Unfortunately only a couple if slices of cake to choose from, stopped serving hot food around 1.45pm on Sunday..
Coffee was OK.

We went to the café last Sunday having not been there for sometime. Found it under new ownership, and got introduced to Dam the new owner. What a nice guy! Coffee was superb food was even better! Fried halloumi sticks with a tasty spicy mayo! We will be back

They have the best English breakfast 😋
I've gone there multiple times , yet they still serve the best coffee ever!
The staff there are very friendly!
The prices aren't expensive
Highly recommended to try 👌 👍

Just had a delicious taster of new dishes soon to be added to the menu. Definitely worth a visit for some brisket brioche roll and a side of halloumi fries!! Yum Yum!!

The best coffee as my opinion, the food is so delicious, the staff are mostly friendly, the bark is So quiet, and the price is not much, I suggest it to everyone.
I promise you will enjoy it.

A new company have taken over and It has been renovated.
The coffee is now from freshly ground beans, and is excellent.
I've had a halloumi wrap from here and it was made to order with fresh ingredients.

Great cafe. Excellent service and delicious food. Had smashed avocado on sourdough with bacon for lunch. Coffee was great too!

First time there and the staff were so welcoming. The owner Tama, makes an effort to greet you and is an amazing cook! This won't be the last time me and my family come here. See you soon Tama - sorry if I've spelt your name wrong!

The new management is brilliant, huge improvement. The coffee is very good they use allpress coffee which is mostly London thing and the food is so delicious, Exactly what we needed in this beautiful park.
