Stopped in for hot drinks whilst walking around foxdenton park quite a few times. Always a good brew especially the vanilla latte but considering the price of drinks here they are very small cups for what you pay

A great community hub with a fantastic atmosphere that's perfect for people and families of all ages. Good to start and end a walk there. Information available about forthcoming events to be held at Foxdenton Park.

What a lovely place this was. A real gem in a lovely setting. We only had coffee and cake, but it was the best cake I've had in ages. Great service and everywhere was very clean.

Lovely cafe with proceeds going to the Hall restoration. The park is very well kept although quite small with small play area and bowling green. There is a larger football field through the park.
