What a fab find! - Edit
We were travelling home and wanted to break up the journey and did we luck out picking Pips! The food was amazing, really good, interesting vegan options. Nice seating area in the marquee but also the train carriage or the double decker bus! We had a delicious allotment salad, oyster mushrooms which were amazing and Singapore fries which were fantastic and also roasted tomatoes all of which was so flavorsome and imaginative and nicely presented. Delicious coffee and an amazing vegan chocolate ganache cake which was very rich and I'm glad we shared it but it was so tasty! (also quite expensive at £8 for a slice of cake and ball of ice cream but I think it was worth it!) It's also dog friendly and the staff were all lovely! And the shop next door has lots of really interesting produce! A really lucky and interesting find off the beaten track. Wish we lived closer because would definitely return. Dog friendly too.

Worth a visit - Edit
Delicious, wholesome food in a quirky setting - a cafe styled as a train carriage! Would 100% recommend - good for vegans and veggies. Friendly place that’s a bit different from the usual restaurants you get.

Fantastic quirky experience - Edit
Pulled off the A303 on journey home after holiday. Quickly used Happy Cow app and was directed here. Was overjoyed to discover beautiful tasty food in fantastic quirky setting. Walking through the train carriage which was full we were shown to a table on the double Decker bus. Lovely view and vibe. Food was quite pricey ( but probably because we only stopped thinking of a light snack) but well worth it for the quality and tastiness of the food. Vegan Beetroot burger was exceptional and very filling, Vegan chocolate and orange cake divine.... highly recommended if I lived nearer I would eat here all the time and be very overweight. Do visit well worth it. Brought some vegetable plants at the shop on way out.
Read morePros: Fantastic exceptional food, Large portions, Nice unusual setting
Cons: Serves meat, Other diners talking about steak loudly!
