Top Places and Services in Tongham

I went with a group of seven other friends for a Christmas get together.
This is a great place to eat a cafe style meal. I had the big breakfast which came with sausages, bacon, hash browns, baked beans, mushrooms and black pudding as well as two slices of toast. We also had pigs in blankets and mince pies.

The setting is good and the place busy when we arrived at around 12:30. Despite this the service was good and£ we weren’t hassled to eat up and leave.

In warmer weather you could sit out on the terrace overlooking the lake.

It’s a little difficult to find as it’s ‘off the beaten track’ down a private road, but it’s definitely worth a visit. The What 3 Words location is ///loud.major.gasp.

The service was attentive, and the ambiance inside the restaurant was comfortable. However, one area for improvement is the restroom facilities.

While the restrooms were clean and well-maintained, they were noticeably cold, which made the experience less comfortable. The temperature difference from the rest of the restaurant was quite stark. This could be easily addressed by adjusting the heating system in that area or using portable heaters during colder months. Adding weatherstripping or insulation around doors and windows could also help keep the warmth in. A more budget-friendly solution might be installing a self-closing hinge on the main door to ensure it stays shut after use.

Addressing this issue would enhance the overall comfort and better align with the standards the restaurant already upholds.

Brilliant little hidden gem. Super lovely and kind staff. Gorgeous setting. Yummy food. I would recommend this place to everyone. Family friendly. Great place.

We popped in here for lunch. Food was good, service was good. First time here. Unfortunately the toilets were not brilliant, could do with improvement. We decided to walk around the Lake afterwards, but wasn't allowed, fishermen only with permits. All in all a good experience 👍

What a great find! Lunch food - we had tuna baked potato and brie & cranberry panini - were delicious and freshly prepared (but very speedily served), followed by coffee and chocolate cake. Coffees good too!
Some vegetarian choices and gluten-free cake options & milk alternatives available for coffees. High chairs and junior menu available.
All on one level and a toilet for disabilities.

Location is off the beaten track but definitely worth the bumpy road approach. The 'Eatery' overlooks the lake (plentiful seating, both inside and out) which had a variety of birds to view.

Staff friendly and tables cleared very quickly. Prices reasonable and good value.

It did become quite busy, so I'd book in future, although we just dropped in!
