Filled with colourful works of art and cute gifts, the Heron Gallery is a charming place to pause. The wholesome, mostly vegetarian menu includes lunch dishes such as falafel, caramelised red onion and goat's cheese tart, and soups such as Thai-spiced parsnip, while cakes and scones are available all day. Wildflowers bloom in the gardens.
