                                          Excellent brunch experience this morning, I brought my 10 month old baby and the staff were so hospitable and accommodating and provided a small baby portion of food for her. The manager on duty was so helpful and the food was exceptional! We will definitely be back!

                                          We waited 50 Minutes for our food to arrive for brunch today. Very disappointing . In spite of asking to see the manager and asking staff I was abruptly told it was the kitchens problem. If we had been warned the food would be slow there would have been no problem.

                                          Booked at lunchtime so busy enough. 25-30 minutes wait for food. Was chatting with friends so didn’t mind too much but on another day might have been annoying! Had chicken burger - portion size generous but to be honest have tasted better. Chicken a bit soggy and would have expected better. Colleague had caesar salad which was generous portion. Soup was good also.

                                          The restaurant and shop feel v cold , especially as weather gets wintery. I never feel warm and comfortable- the noise of people talking, service is high - there is nothing to cushion the noise - the tile tables add to feeling cold- it looks lovely just feel cold - service vg , some staff smile others drop and go - it’s not a favourite spot

                                          Staff were lovely. Food wasn’t great. My hot chocolate was like a warm milk. I sent it back and it came back even more tasteless.
