"Hidden gem, short walk from the main high street.

Friendly staff, and plenty of seating inside. Amazing selection at the deli, as well as having a great choice of food/desserts/drinks.

Definitely worth a visit."

"Lovely food and service and a really friendly and efficient team! When I ordered my panini I asked for this to be served with chips only, mainly because I do not like coleslaw and salad and hate to leave it and waste it. However I was then brought the panini only and a soon after a smaller portion of chips than other members of my party who had not asked for no coleslaw and salad. Quickly rectified thank you. Also, when I came to pay, there was confusion around what methods of payments were accepted - American Express is accepted on the machine but they do not want customers to use it, I infer."
