Ordered the Raspberry Macaron Birthday cake for 10 people. It looked exactly as shown on website, absolutely beautiful. A lovely light Victoria Sponge with Raspberry buttercream was delicious. The cake was delivered on time as promised. Would highly recommend Becky to anyone wanting a cake for a special occasion (or any occasion)!

Becky did an afternoon tea for our 40 guests at our daughters wedding on 18/6/2022. It was absolutely delicious, everybody loved it. Sandwiches, scones , sausage rolls, cheesecakes, a variety of cakes. Our theme was vintage, and this fitted perfectly, just what we wanted. My daughter had a wildflower bouquet, and Becky made her a wedding cake and cupcakes with edible wildflowers decorating it. It was beautiful & delicious. Well done Becky and her helpers. You worked so hard for us, can’t thank you enough. Vanessa, Nigel, Donna & Dan

Becky made a cake for my daughter’s 18th birthday. It tasted delicious and was beautifully designed. Contact with Becky throughout was great (even when I was out of the country!) and it was delivered straight to my house in perfect timing. Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you Becky!

Everything we asked for was supplied and our wedding cake was amazing. We would highly recommend Becky, who we found very approachable and polite throughout the whole order process . We even were provided with free samples to decide the taste of the cake. We went with a top layer of fruit and a bottom layer of Victoria sponge , which were both delicious.

We were let down by other cake providers and Becky managed to fit us in at the last minute. The customer service was amazing and she was lovely to deal with (even honouring a price as she originally misquoted). The cake was delicious and looked as good as it tasted. Would highly recommend!

The Ropetackle is great and so is the cafe. Nice, relaxed atmosphere, and good, simple food made to order - a salad and a wrap - with a good cup of coffee. Around £10 per person. It's a small, simple menu, but perfectly suited to what they do. One thing to note - the bar wasn't open when we went there (a Saturday lunchtime); only open show nights, we were told. A shame, because they do Harvey's IPA - but then again, a good reason to go there for a show.
