Stopped by Ritual Coffee in the Cheltenham Industrial Estate for a quick lunch, I wanted to go somewhere “nice” but “close”, and this fit the brief.
We got the scrambled egg croissant and an oxtail sandwich, which were vastly different, unique and and delicious. We also got a side order of the mushrooms to share. I believe the menu changes regularly - but have heard it’s usually this good.

Forget the smell do not expect seat in comfy chairs, yes you have to seat like public school.
