Just popped in for loo and quick bite b4 attending local funeral. Big range of food and drinks, best tea cake I've had in a while. No problem with permission to change for funeral in disabled loo. Highly recommended.

Nice community and locally supported cafe run by volunteers, cheery and pleasant. Food is good but can be variable depending on who's doing the cooking. Recommended as also houses community fridge and stocks of short-dated groceries

Lovely community cafe. Always feel welcome and enjoy a breakfast there. Not eaten at any other time but their cakes look nice.

First time visiting Pips and glad we did. Had a great time sitting with a retired group of ladies who were very friendly and chatty. Great atmosphere and we will definitely come for lunch again. Very busy 12pm to 1pm but the amazing voluntary staff worked their socks off.

Received a lovely welcome on arriving. Food was well presented and very reasonably priced. Plenty of room between tables so didn't feel over crowded.

Welcoming to all. We often go with our little ones and we’re always made to feel welcome. The food and drinks are tasty. The workshops are brilliant. We’re fortunate to have this lovely community space and volunteers to run it.
