the cabinthe cabin has been offering teas and coffees, plus home made cakes made by volunteers on Sunday mornings for many years now. The original cabin was a well loved summer house on the grass but a few years ago the super new cabin unit was bought, converted into a kitchen and small meeting space for all members use.
Operating in the summer months when the weather is often better, plot holders can take a Sunday morning break to sit out on the lawn, enjoying a good natter, often about potatoes or leeks, in good company. The Cabin is run by volunteers who bake the cakes and pick up fresh milk ready to offer beautiful homemade cakes with a cuppa.
