Local produce and wines are on sale in this renovated timber building. Inside
is a renowned cafe that serves simple food with flair, priding itself on using organic, low-
impact suppliers and products. The arrival of a Spanish chef has added tapas to the mix.
Soak up the ambience in the wooded interior, or relax at a table in the shaded cottage gar-
dens, home to the Outside Bit, a quirky little nursery.
