Let’s eat cake
As well as our cupcake deliveries to help celebrate that special occasion, guests often ask for recommendations on where to get cake and coffee. So we thought we’d pop down a little reference for some gorgeous “cakage” for you to sample during your stay. If you’re looking foward to a stay with us at The Old Tractor Shed, or maybe your waiting to try out our new builds, Fieldens Folly and The Fullers Shed, why not plan a trip out to one of these great little spots. If staying in is more your thing, we can of course deliver our Cream Tea hamper to your door so you can cosy in and get the kettle on!
Roast & Radish
(Stoke Golding – 15 minute walk, 2 minute drive)
Situated in Stoke Golding (behind the Three Horsehoes Pub) this delightful cafe pop up offers freshly baked cakes and piping hot coffee to eat in their covered open air space or to take away. Tanya and Lisa have created the perfect place for a coffee, but you can also grab breakfast, brunch, sandwiches and snacks.
Sutton Wharf
(Sutton Cheney – 15-25 minute walk route depending, 2 minute drive)
A canalside cafe with indoor and outdoor seating as well as the Floaty Oakie ice cream boat. A great stop for watching the boats and feeding the water foul and grabbing a coffee and a cake en route to the Battlefield via Ambion Wood.
Maison Rose

Mortons Bistro
(Gilmorton – 25 minute drive but so worth it!)
A fabulous eatery with a boujee industrial interior inside a Georgian village house, Mortons describes itself as “an artisan café-bistro serving great coffee, food and drinks in a beautiful setting. Sit indoors by the open log fire or outdoors on our large patio area. Family friendly but also ideal for a business lunch”. We absolutely adore this place and the coffee is wonderful.
Harveys Coffee Cabin
(Twycross – 13 minute drive)
An independent family run coffee cabin, this is a firm favourite with my 23 year old daughter who raves about the coffee. I think the salted caramel hot chocolate looks pretty good and they have a lovely selection of fresh cakes, brownies and cookies too.

Part of the Lounges chain, this all day cafe bar is a sure bet for coffee and cake any time of the day.
