Marvellous friendly staff especially the extremely charming and helpful Diane who could not do enough for my Mother. Food is lovely and very reasonably priced. On the annual pilgrimage with my Mother to my Brother and Sisters and Dad's and Nana and Granddads graves. The Holy Angels plot is beautifully maintained but will never extinguish the heartbreak of what happened to all of those little souls. RIP

If you visit the cemetery this is a must. I had a latte and ordered spinach scrambled eggs and a children's breakfast. The chef came out and explained that he had no spinach. You would think that would be a negative but he explained he could make it any way we wanted and we chose mushrooms. WoW.. turned out fantastic. The customer service was excellent. I would highly recommend this cafe. As you can eat inside or out depending upon the weather. One thing to note the bathrooms are to your right when leaving the indoor Cafe. I also posted the menu in my review.
