My boyfriend and I stopped here recently and were very impressed. I had a tuna melt and my boyfriend the brie and caramelised onion chutney toastie which were both delicious and served with a side salad and crisps. The pot of tea was delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive.
Unfortunately, we didn't have room to sample the lovely homemade cakes but hope to do so in the future.
An absolute gem of a place ?
