I popped in here on my lunch break after a client gave this place a glowing review, so I thought I would give it a try. It’s a small cafe that is easy to miss. Be mindful of your head and footing when entering. Once inside, you’ll likely be greeted by a friendly member of staff.

Then the food. I'm working my through things, first time I had the porridge and yes it is a simple thing to do but it did feel incredibly luxurious, but also I would of felt at home by a camp fire too. I've had cakes and bread, I've not had anything I didn't love yet. Husband and wife team, such lovely caring people and it shows. Hope they stick around because once word gets out it won't be long till they expand or move it's that good!! Don't believe me see for yourself.
