Went for Sunday lunch, loved the building, very similar in style to The Lion & Lobster, but on a grander scale. We were there from 12, only a couple of other tables dining at that time. Service started off well enough, then disappeared completely after we had ordered. After 30 minutes our main courses arrived, we never saw the starter we ordered so decided to dispense with it as our mains were clearly ready. 2 had the burger, pretty underwhelming, and 1 was so black on one side that it was like crunching on charcoal. 2 had roast sirloin, the sirloin was very nicely cooked, potatoes tasty but not at all crispy, the giant yorkshire pudding was lovely (we know has we had an extra one on the side) The one with the roast was filled with all the vegetables, including a mountain of grey red cabbage, absolutely ruining what would have otherwise been a lovely yorkie. What is wrong with serving vegetables on the plate, and the yorkshire on top I have no idea. If you have a roast, order it as gluten free (which won't come with a yorkshire pud) but ask to have the yorkshire on the side, then you roast will be served in the usual manner and the yorkshire won't be ruined. Desserts were 2 tart tatins, one had to ask for a knife to get through the pastry! Mushy apple on top, nothing really resembling a tart tatin, and served with 'dairy free' ice-cream? both opted to have it with sorbet instead. No excuses for poorly executed food and service, it was early and really quiet. Love the building though so will just stick to drinks in future.

Lovely little cafe with charming decor. As someone local to the area, I visit frequently for a flat white to go and the staff are always welcoming. I have also taken friends and family there for quick bites and brunch and have never been disappointed.
