I had a large takeaway coffee (flat white) and a toasted banana-bread with 'butter'. The coffee was meh-ok. There were no metal notes and the equipment was very clean, as one might expect to find in a hospital. The banana-bread was very thoroughly toasted, giving that rare crunchy surface, however I spotted the server bringing out a tub of margarine. Service was pretty good, the server being quick, friendly and efficient. That said, he was on his own and had a LOT of customers to deal with.

"Hot" food here is pre prepared. I had a bacon and egg roll ... Which was pre made then re heated. So wasn't the best. Again, odd at how different this place is compared to TCH.
Overall it was ok. No complaints really, just was expecting the same quality as the Zouki at TCH and it is not in the...
