“ Two Gems....park your car very pleasant walk around Hunsbury Ironstone Park. Nestled in the car park is Drovers, rustic outdoor seating and great food and value. Served by Colin and Christine, they have continued to look after customers throughout covit. They deserve every success. ”
“ I live in Belfast but my parents have lived in East Hunsbury for 26 years. And this is the first time I've discovered this caff. I was recently chatting with some friends about proper old school greasy spoon-type places, and the fact that they're being wiped out by chains, and places that have so many different types of coffee it takes a week to order and a mortgage to pay. I'm happy to report that The Drovers Return is proper, old school caff. Not absurdly clean, not uber trendy. Just simple, tasty food, good tea, reasonable prices and friendly clientele and staff. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. And I only had a sausage and bacon roll and a tea. Long may this place last! ”
“ Information about the different trees along a tree trail. Great play park with large open fields perfect for entertaining children in the summer. ”
