Absolute surprise. Stopped for a quick bite and left feeling like we'd had dinner. Garlic prawns on sourdough and mushrooms with blue cheese were delicious lunchtime meals served and in lovely, classic English garden.

What a great find @willowscafe in the village of Ditton priors. Clearly a hit with locals and visitors of the area. A quaint little cafe serving a fantastic selection of home made cakes, quiches, pastries and salads. Great coffee too! Everything is also available as a takeaway if you’re heading to the Shropshire hills the, sausage roll is a must. We opted for a brunch of Huevous rancheros a take on Mexican eggs. Also smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and sour dough toast. Hearty home cooked food and friendly service. Well worth a visit if you are passing through and if you’re a cake lover you certainly won’t be disappointed with the great selection on offer. Thanks for having us, see you again

Stopped for lunch with my mum, hot day therefore we sat inside as it was cooler loved the decor. Does have a lovely garden area too as well as another small seating area inside. Menu on the blackboard, large breakfast menu with some specials. Mum had garlic mushrooms which they kindly put on toast rather than sourdough. I had the special field mushrooms with blue cheese on sourdough. Both meals delicious and filling. Staff friendly and helpful.

Check this out. This cafe is a real delight, CV19 measures being taken seriously. Lovely out door terrace, but we sat inside. Delicious and interesting home cooked food using fresh and local ingredients. You feel welcomed and you can relax and chat.
