So this is really 2 reviews in one: A 5 star review for the cafe, which we have visited a few times in recent years and always had an excellent meal in great surroundings and a 1 star review for the kiosk, which we came to this evening for an early evening snack/ice cream and which was just......sad. The snacks were apparently just chucked into an unappealing display cabinet and the ice creams were a dodgy "Mr Whippy" machine that needed to be shaken to give up it's goods and others in unattractive catering packs, stacked in a chest freezer with some "Doggy Ice Cream" (yes, ice cream for dogs!), clearly marked with a big red stripe as unsuitable for human consumption, which was also a little off-putting.

If the kiosk is not going to drag down the previously (and I presume still) excellent restaurant (we did not eat inside today) it badly needs some of the same love and attention!
