    Not a place to go if you've got a bus to catch

    The location is opposite John Lewis, alongside St Mary’s Cathedral so it’s central. I expect there is a connection to the church and the mix of furnishings suggests some of these may have been donated from next door but there are plenty of them so...More

    Loved the Mediterranean Sausages

    Came here last week for a spot of lunch and the special for the day was Mediterranean sausages served with mash and some kind of gravy. The sausages were so tasty. Coffee was pretty good also.

    Sorry about you disappointment with sandwiches, our brief was to have some vegan options available hence the mushroom variety. If you had let us known at the time we would have happily got the kitchen to whip a sandwich more to your liking.
