Food Scene
Great for Coffee, organic produce (Fruit and Vegetables and other), and a beautiful café for lunch amongst the nursery plants with food made at McGains. Good take home meals also available. When I have unexpected visitors I make a quick dash to McGains for lovely home made food for lunch. My guests never know I haven't been cooking for them all morning!

Stunning views to enjoy a lovely menu, small menu prepared with great care. Remember to book early in Summer. Also great for brunch or a pre dinner drink. Good to know for Vegetarians, menu is small and usually only 1-2 dishes are solely vegetarian based. Pescatarian's will have more choice.
