The family-run animal park won the coveted ‘Tea Room of the Year’ title for its onsite Pepper Pot Tea Room.

Owner Tracy Knapton said: “We are all really excited to have received this award as we are passionate about homemade and locally produced food and promoting awareness of it.

“As a small family run business we are very proud to be recognised...and hope that it reflects the hard work by both family and staff that goes towards maintaining the high levels of customer experience and service that we offer at our park.”
