Shrouded by trees and bushes, there's a wild garden which will soon be buzzing with customers from Bumbles tea shop. The tiny Epperstone cafe has use of the private garden on the opposite side of the road which belongs to a "lovely lady" in the village.
The no-nonsense menu has locals and visitors from further afield flocking in. Breakfasts are served all day, with a choice of a full English, cobs with egg, sausage or bacon, and beans on toast. Since taking over Steph has given the tea room a revamp, including new built-in benches to increase seating from 16 to 27 and because it gets so hot in summer, air conditioning has just been installed.
Apart from the Cross Keys pub, there's no where else for villagers to eat or socialise - or even shop for that emergency bottle of milk. The nearest stores are in Lowdham or Calverton, so Bumbles has started selling essentials such as bread, milk, teabags, toothpaste and toilet rolls. Locally made honey and marmalade is also stocked.
When Nottinghamshire Live visited, there was a constant flow of customers. One woman left saying: "Thank you, it was absolutely lovely as always."
