Our renowned true barista coffee comes from Cafology; an exclusively ethical company specialising in the finest fair trade beverages. They hold the Soil Association and Rain-forest Alliance mark therefore ensuring that Cafology products really do make a difference to the farmers whose crops they buy.
We use the full flavoured smooth and round espresso, that has been medium to dark roasted, ensuring all the flavour comes through our milk based drinks. This espresso is truly rich, sweet and brilliantly balanced with notes of burnt toffee and caramel! The cafe owner and Head Chef, Chris, has been with the cafe now since 2014.

Had an excellent lunch - managed to seat 8 of us and two children with no reservation and were very helpful. Had lots of vegan options and all 5 vegans were catered for! Even had two vegan cake/brownie options. Multiple milk options too. Plenty for none vegans too and couldn't fault service! Would definitely recommend.

We went there for lunch as a family.
The staff were friendly and attentive.
The place was clean and tidy. It didn't have much of an atmosphere and they may a small portion of the place into a book shop.
The food was good.
We had two pies (lots of nice gravy), and daughter had cheese on toast.
Around £30 including drinks.
