01 / A proper coffee
Made with care
We work with Casa Espresso, who helped train our team to pour a coffee worth coming back for.
The café at Lay of the Land
Come for the plants. Stay for the cake.
Good coffee, homemade food and a chair with your name on it. You don’t have to earn your cake by doing any gardening first.

Make a little time
Something worth stopping for.
A quick coffee, a bite of lunch or a catch-up that lasts longer than planned. Make yourself comfortable.
02 / Something sweet
Go on, have a slice
Have a look at what’s on the counter when you visit. Choosing is the difficult bit; we’ll leave that one with you.
03 / Stay a little longer
Lunch, at your leisure
An ever-changing menu of light lunches and snacks, with good-quality local produce at its heart.
Part of the family
From kitchen to garden café.
A CAFÉ IN THE FAMILY
Jimmie, the youngest of the Lay boys, joined the family business in 2014 after training at Northcote Manor and working in local gastro pubs. The café followed in spring 2015. Plants and a proper lunch under one roof—it seemed a sensible arrangement.
We work with local suppliers and Casa Espresso to bring you good coffee, homemade food and an ever-changing menu of light lunches. Come for a quick coffee or settle in for a catch-up. We know how these things go.
