A POPULAR cafe at Worcester's County Hall many did not know exist has been grabbing attention on social media.

Worcestershire County Council recently posted about Lakeview Cafe, based in the County Hall, stressing to people it was open to all. 

The post said: "Whether you are walking around the woods with the dog or the kids, work nearby or just fancy a coffee and a delicious homemade cake, pop in and see us."

In the comments many admitted to not knowing about the place or that it was open to the public.

One wrote: "I didn't know about here, it looks worth a try when next walking through the woods."

Another said: "We discovered the cafe last week - definitely a hidden gem for visits to Worcester Woods."

We popped down on a busy Wednesday lunchtime but despite the number of people around, customers were being quickly served, and able to get a seat inside or outside. 

The cafe is hidden away at the back of the County Hall building but provides a spectacular view from its balcony.

The cafe offers a good choice of food from fresh salad and sandwiches, coffee, cakes, pastries, breakfasts and hot dinners, and the menu changes every week with an update provided on its Facebook site.
