We have now been here 3 times and always had good grub and great service. Our last visit was today 16/10/2021 and it was as equally as good if not better than our previous visits. Great friendly staff, fresh food and you're not rushed, so you can enjoy eating and drinking in your own time. Honestly since our first time coming here, we now take the coast road when we know it is open to have a break, on our way up to the badlands of the North. If you're on the tram then it is worth stopping off & having a break here & get the next one. This grumpysaurus is a happysaurus after a visit here and that is a miracle ask my wife

Great place to stop for a hot chocolate (coffee or tea) and have a delicious cake. Really nice spot to sit and watch the world go by. Blankets and hot water bottles there too. The ladies who run this are lovely and make you feel really welcome. Make sure you stop on your way past!

Perfect place to start or end your visit to Dhoon Glen. Or, in our case, to start AND end our visit . Choice of cakes and drinks, and warm snacks as well if the weather isn’t co-operating. It also makes an ideal place to while away the time until the next tram. Great and friendly service too. Long may the Little Shed continue
