We had a lovely brunch on Sunday morning. Coffee was great, food was fresh. They were quite large size meals. Service was great. We used both options of the QR code and going to the counter. The atmosphere was gorgeous, people had their very well behaved dogs and the garden scene with flowers and wall plants was a lovely setting. Will definitely be going back to try more things on the menu.

I have spent over 60 years travelling the world enjoying many restaurants over that time. My favourite dish right through those years is Pork Belly. Yesterday that dish was available at Green Fields - it was absolutely delicious and probably the best version ever! The other menu choices included good old favourites which were almost most appealing. Service was outstanding.

We visited Jafa last night and it did not disappoint. The service, ambience and most of all- food was absolutely amazing . Every dish we ordered the calamari , crispy cauliflower and the pasta’s were all so Devine and top quality! The tiramisu for dessert was honestly the best we have tried. The staff were attentive and friendly and the ambience was beautiful for a Friday night dinner out. We will definately be back . Great restaurant

Wasn’t sure what to expect when I realised this restaurant was in an over 50s lifestyle development. But the ambiance was wonderful. The food great. The price is very reasonable and the service was spot on. We’d definitely go back. Also looking forward to doing a coffee one morning.

What a vibe! I felt like I was in a cool bar overseas somewhere. The lasagna on the Wednesday night was absolutely delicious & the cocktail - to die for! The person behind the bar was fun and you could tell was passionate about his job so he was very happy to talk about the menu Can’t wait to go back and experience it on different nights
