Excellent welcome and service here, after hunting around for a dog friendly cafe, and being turned away by another one, we found the Cherry tree and we're so glad we did! I had a chicken and mushroom slice, warmed up so nice and crisp pastry. Hubby had a coronation chicken sandwich which was obviously freshly homemade and a very generous sandwich indeed. I'd highly recommend a visit!
