This is a lovely little restaurant/cafe on the route around Whipsnade. We all had pizzas which were reasonably priced and very filling, and came very quickly. There are baby chairs available and it is a pleasant setting overlooking the rolling hills-- you would hope the was was nice for somewhere called the viewpoint, and it is! No complaints really-- just nothing exceptionally good, and the tables were a little bit sticky. Definitely a nice spot on site if you want something more than a sandwich while at the zoo.
