I mentioned before that the last time we used Fed & Watered it broke a fairly long run of being…read morequite disappointing. It had always been the go to place, mainly through lack of competition in the airport, it also monopolised the all-important views of the runway. We stopped for food a short distance down the road from the airport this time and I was only in the mood for coffee once there, and since you know where to stand with Starbucks and they now have to most commanding view of the apron..... I went there. My wife though only finished shopping after I had finished my iced latte and was also looking for a quieter part of the airport to breast feed our son. So we ended up back in the new revamped Fed & Watered. The area that the old F&W sat in has been expanded a good deal, but F&W itself is now smaller as it shares the expanded space with its sister premises 'Coco' and 'Chopped'. The décor and set up look the part, it's stylish and modern. The only downside is that to use space more efficiently, the other 2 outlets cover a lot of the window area, which is a real irk to me as I'm a big kid and I like to see out at airports! All we got here in the end was an Americano and a brownie, and we were really only getting those to use the seating for feeding the baby, so we didn't experience the hot food. However looking around it was notable that despite being dinner time most other people around were having similar to us, tray bake and tea/coffee. The girl that served us was 'OK', there was a little of the unenthusiastic demeanour (that seems to have been mentioned about this place a few times on other review sites) which wasn't great, but the service was prompt enough. I couldn't see the coffee being made but it was just 'OK'. I didn't taste barista made, more the sort of coffee you get in the likes of Greggs where the staff just hit a button on a machine. It wasn't bad, but not amazing either. The brownie was quite nice and seemed fresh though. All in all the seating and décor make the new F&W a nice place to be (despite covering so much of the windows), even if I couldn't guarantee that the food and service has risen to the same standards!

I've seen the sign out on the main road (which would be easy to miss) every day as it's on my commute to work and yet I've never been in. So this worked out well. What a great hidden gem, loved this place. If you're looking for it, it is opposite the attendant-less Maxol garage, down the side of the used car place. The décor has all the hallmarks of a trendy contemporary coffee shop/deli, nothing too original, but to their credit they have distilled the design to the best elements of it and then executed the layout very well, so it's a nice place to be. The staff were great too which I love as there is little to endear a place to me more quickly than nice people working there who are nice, not through customer training but because they are just good folks!! The food when was great, a wide range of mouth-watering choices are clearly displayed across the huge menu..... which is the entire back wall of the place. It has been painted in blackboard paint and the menu chalked up in big clear writing. The prices although on the higher end of average aren't extortionate by any means so I wouldn't call it cheap eats but you get top quality food and service for just north of average price. The coffee was great, which is an essential element for me and the last thing I ate was a scone..... as we were there so early, it was freshly backed and still warm from the oven......................... so so good!

As I looked around at the various features, I was left wondering 'why so many lemons?!' And then it hit me. The cafe was called The Lemon Tree, and I hadn't even noticed. How embarrassing. Aside from the lemon tree theme and name, there wasn't a literal lemon to be seen. Not even on my sister's scampi (which was deemed delicious despite the lack of said lemon). Cute name though. The Lemon Tree is somewhere you would imagine to be located in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales. With it's wooden chairs, old-fashioned lace table cloths, huge dark fireplace and low ceilings, this cafe certainly has a very snug and traditional feel to it. The menu reflects this, with a good number of solid 'pub grub' type options, including soup, pies, sandwiches etc. As I previously mentioned, my sister opted for the scampi, which came with a massive side of chunky chips, while I went for the chicken goujons (predictable...as always) with a load of those fab chips, plus a sweet chilli dip. The scampi was gorgeous, the chips were wonderful, and the goujons weren't bad at all. If only they'd been coated in breadcrumbs though...why do these places insist on making them in batter?! A very pleasant, homely experience, which left us well-fed and happy...no bitter tastes whatsoever.

I t is not exactly cutting edge here, it is more meeting your granny for a scone and afternoon tea than moccachinos and lattes to energise you and then send you off to a high street of hustle and bustle. They do a range of breakfast meals like fried and pancakes, soups, quiches, salads, sandwiches, wraps, scones and a range of tray bakes, all of a homemade nature. Everything is lovingly made and prepared. Things here are homely, filling and satisfying, if nothing particularly mind-blowing. A chance stop off here will not be a bad choice, though try and go in will someone older or you may feel a bit out of place!

The walls are covered by paintings and drawings (for sale) - these have been made by students of a nearby art school. The coffee shop has a full size wall to wall window at the back which gives a nice view to the sea, but thankfully it keeps the noise of the busy shore road traffic out! They started at the end of the summer '15 with mainly coffees, teas and pastries, and they promised soya milk and gluten free products which they introduced lately! Their sandwiches and paninis look so delicious through the counter that good luck not having anything but a drink! My favourite is the duck and mango ciabatta with some kind of chutney and nice decorative lettuce and coleslaw on the side. It is absolutely amazing! The only reason they're not getting 5 star is because of the noise coming from the gym next door. When classes are on, you can clearly hear around 15 people jumping in the same time and this kept giving me the impression (and fear) that the ceiling won't last much longer! But it did so far! and you can sit in the back where the noise isn't disturbing. It's honestly wort it:)
