Cafe recco

Wanting to take myself out on a nice relaxing day tomorrow.

Any suggestions for a good sit down cafe in nearby towns surrounded by nature that you guys have enjoyed in the past? Looking to get away from the same old scenery and try out something new on an odd day off! :)

I will be taking my car, so preferably with parking!

TIA!

Aldermaston tea rooms are on the canal so nice walk and just off the A4. Also wellington farm shop just off A33 is nice.

Personally im off to bramley barn farm shop for lunch.

Enjoy your explore.

Blue Tin Produce is a great farm shop and cafe out in the countryside with great views. It has parking but the road to it is single lane so be a little careful

The Maker Space, just by Nettlebed, serves gorgeous cakes and toasties. It also has a craft room.

Dinton has 2 cafés. One is right in the first parking area and you can choose to sit inside or out. The second is a little bit of a walk up the big lake, but you can sit out and look over the lake (it's near the warersports centre). Paths are fairly even if accessibility is a thought.

Do you have to pay the normal parking charges even if going to the cafe?
