Charming little stop-off with an airy courtyard, the Hemmel is somewhere between a cafe and a restaurant serving wine, bottled beers, coffee and tea. Angela Carr, who took over in 2012, offers locally sourced home cooking and serves breakfast until 11.30. The menu is seasonal and you could see anything from spicy seared prawn salad to hearty and filling soups, pies and stews.  Homemade desserts and cakes are to die for.
