Classic canteen style light industrial unit vibe. Very welcoming and convivial. Pastries a bit meh, coffee decent. Good to see a bit of difference in village eateries.

Canteen are excellent, hands down excellent. We have eaten at Mount Hawke/ Eco- Park/ festivals and most recently the woodfired team catered our wedding. The food is always outstanding, they cater beautifully for allergies, staff are friendly and accommodating at all times. We have had so many compliments on our wedding food and how Amy, Chloe, Ben and team made people feel so welcome and cared for- the slow cooked lamb was a particular hit! We cannot thank Amy enough for all her work in the lead up to our wedding and the team for going above and beyond to make our day so special. Nothing was too big an ask. We whole heartedly recommend them and look forward to eating at canteen many times in the future.

Lovely venue, people and food. No frills canteen experience, clean and environmentally friendly. Makes no promises unfulfilled and I will return and bring friends. Huge respect for the quality of the open burrito... Already reproduced the beef & pork flavour, just need to work out the rest :-)

We went for the incredible burger night with live music - the burger was delicious, well worth it and glad we got there early to get a seat. The live music & sticky toffee pudding for dessert were also fantastic. We also came back for a breakfast which was also amazing. Highly recommend.

This was surprisingly busy for a Sunday morning! Very noisy but lovely atmosphere and staff friendly and helpful. Food is always great - i had a breakfast sandwich with mushrooms, broken eggs and crispy bacon, my companion had the shakshuka. Plenty of seating on shared tables, and no rush to leave. Highly recommended.
