"My partner and I went today, 17th of April for afternoon tea. We got a fabulous welcome and the food was amazing, fresh sandwiches, lovely sausage rolls, the biggest scone I have ever seen, great cakes and as much tea as you can drink! If you want a great afternoon tea at a friendly establishment then The Nook is the perfect place. We will be back, thank you Maria and family."

"We had a lovely lunch here on a very rainy chilly day and it was lovely and warm in the cafe. We had a cheese scone, cheese, red onion and tomato sandwich, bacon bap and a sausage roll. All where delicious and homemade. The sausage meat (and sausages) are from Edis of Ely so quality meat which is good. The cakes looked amazing...but will be back to try those! The service was great and will definitely be back. Reasonably priced and lots of options from full meals, burgers, chilli to small bites like scones and sausage rolls."

"A lovely cafe me and my dad often go to when passing by Risby! There is a clean, spacious outdoor area to sit and dogs are also allowed inside the cafe. Their toasties are second to none, served with kettle crisps, salad and homemade coleslaw. There is a specials board in the cafe which all looks very nice and lots of delicious looking cakes that i’m yet to try. They have never disappointed me with their coffee either, I always have a hazelnut mocha and it never misses. A great spot for lunch (and ice cream) if you are passing by and a treasure of vintage barn shops to look round after. The staff are all friendly and attentive too!"
