Visited July 2005        

This was an unexpected treat!  We went to Ruscrete to look for new patio paving & ended up having a delicious snack lunch, I was so pleased I had my camera with me.  Pebbles is a delightful little coffee shop offering many delicious home made goodies, check out their Summer menu (PDF file) & well worth a visit even if you don't need a garden make over!  You can see the lovely interior & the deck from the pictures.

As well as the menu there is a daily specials board, from this I chose a Spicy Lamb Burger in Naan Bread, very yummy, my friends both opted for Jacket Potatoes, one filled with Prawns in a Marie Rose dressing, the other with Cheese & home made Cole Slaw.  Potatoes cooked to perfection, very generous fillings.  Unfortunately no license at the moment so we drank coffees.  Very large selection of speciality coffee & teas.

All dishes are freshly prepared on request so may incur a short wait (we didn't have to wait very long) but on the menu it also says you can phone in your order ahead to either eat in or out, very handy if you are in a rush.  Also read about their loyalty scheme; you get a saver card which is marked after each daily special or coffee purchased then you are rewarded with freebies!

Apart from Pebbles there is a shop ladies with some unusual items!  I am thrilled with a set of 3 bronze look flamingos very reasonably priced at £20, excellent value. 

I never did decide on the paving, I'll just have to go back soon!
