It’s still relatively new being reopened, so no hot food on offer at the moment just snacks and ice cream. They said they will start doing hot food from next summer though. It’s a nice place to stop for a quick rest/refreshment Toilets facilities need a lot of work

I was halfway up The Wrekin with an empty flask of tea. A fog had descended and taken away my visibility. But then stumbled upon this place. Lovely tea.

Brilliant little place for a stop off on way up or way down. Sunrise is amazing from here and the top. Definitely worth the visit.

An Ice lolly and a bag of Starburst cost £3.85. Initial service was find. But when I went back to enquire about toilets facilities. The person l spoke to promptly told it was for paying customers only. I wouldn't have minded, but it was a portaloo.
