Loverly little cafe friendly helpful team. Managed to get a table for 6 without booking. Loverly food and coffee. The French Onion Soup was epic ! The Stornaway Eggs were lovely with such a great big piece of black pudding. Avocado eggs were also excellent as well. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Reviews
Went in for a quick cocktail before dinner. I tried the old fashioned and I really enjoyed it, I'd recommend. Need to go back and try some of the other things they have on offer, quite a few cocktails sounded good.
Read on Google MapsWas strolling along the street contemplating what to have for lunch. Came across a few eateries but pretty empty. This restaurant was pretty packed. Recalled reading they only served all day breakfast. However, I decided to head in and check them out. And concidentally, today is the first day they are serving Sunday roast. 22 pound Sunday roast with beer is priced well. Food was reasonably good.

Read on Google MapsGreat spot, it’s big, but still feel intermit inside with great lighting and lots of different spaces and rooms. Nice lively atmosphere. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Super range of cocktails, all very good and nicely presented. Expensive, but excellent quality.
