## About
After our walk at Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Woods, we decided to stay a little longer and make use of the café rather than heading straight home.

Despite it being strawberry-picking season and noticeably busy when we arrived, there was still plenty of parking available. We chose to sit outside and managed to find a table without any trouble.

The coffee was excellent and the cake counter was packed with choice. The hardest part of the visit was deciding what to have. Whether you're after a quick coffee, a slice of cake or something more substantial, there was plenty on offer and everything we tried was spot on.

Murphy was equally interested in what was available, particularly when he discovered the impressive selection of dog treats for sale inside. There were shelves packed with natural treats, chews and goodies for visiting dogs.

Sadly, there was one notable omission.

No puppachinos.

I know. We were shocked too.

Murphy took the news reasonably well, although there was a brief moment where he looked like he was considering filing a formal complaint.

Even without a puppachino, Cattows Farm is a lovely place to stop after a walk. The café feels welcoming, there's plenty of outdoor space, and the combination of good coffee, good cake and dog-friendly touches makes it an easy recommendation.
