I love this place. For various reasons. First of all it's ethos is based on community and helping and supporting adults with learning difficulties by training them and giving them job opportunities. Secondly their food is tasty, nice sized portions and very inexpensive. Thirdly, most of their food is home grown. Fourthly, the decor is very pleasant and arty. They sell home made cards, have toys for kids and welcome well behaved dogs. And last, but probably not least, the service is warm, friendly, fast and generally very lovely. What's not to love about this little place? Please go, you won't be disappointed and its good to support local places, places that, I believe, have integrity and values that are sometimes hard to find in the world.

The place was packed, but the service was so good you couldn’t tell by that. Please give it a try. You won’t be...
