We usually visit on a Sunday before popping over to a film at chapter. We invited friends to join us on a Saturday for a change. Great food and great atmosphere. Great vegan/PB brunch as always and coffee perfect. Even our non PB guests were impressed.

Always great service and food. You need to book if there are more than two of you on a weekend. I reccomend the Brecwast Burrito and the spicy green chilli sauce that comes with it is lipsmackingly good.
