This is cafe review, not reserve. Take a picnic. Cafe very expensive - 2 coffees, a sausage roll, very small chips and a small lasagne portion £26. Cookies £3.50 each! Their justification for gouging prices is it goes to support the reserve - if the prices were more reasonable I'd use the cafe everytime but will now take a picnic everytime so they'll get nothing more from me other than parking fee.

Nice place to wonder around, get a coffee and see some nature.
Well designed and a lot of work has gone on here.
Floating visitor centre with coffee shop etc.

Lovely afternoon out what a beautiful setting on the water hiw could we resist getting some lunch while there. 2 adults 3 children and what chaos 3 staff not one managed to get the order right had to ask a few times. 2 pizza 2 kids boxes and a half sausage roll . Simple . Pizza near cold before kids food came too a place with real potential let down by all staff. All I could say was they did seem a happy bunch. Onto gift shop again same issues staff very happy but not a clue no calculater for prices relying on the kids to know how much each item was and to add it up (I thought at first it was a good play with them, until I had to correct her on one of the prices and add them up ) my son laughed that even i managed to add them up . Please staff training throughout recommended.

£5 car park no entry fee, toilet, cafe, info centre. Decking to view birds. Walk or cycle round wood & trails. No dogs in wood, though 1 in there off lead chasing squirrels. Dog path parallel to wood. Bird hides. Islands more exposed to attract birds. Garganey, peewit, cormorants, little egret, kestrel on river banks. Kids playground. Osprey platform up.

Really nice birding experience, although a little noisy being so close to the M6. There was no charge to enter but there was a charge for parking. Really nice, friendly people running the place. The only downside was the cafe. Only vegan food available when we got there, which was quite frankly, terrible

Lovely spot but wouldn't recommend as a stop when traveling on the M6 with family if you're expecting food and services. Cafe is only open certain days.
