FOOD Hangover breakfast - BIG breakfast!!! I love brunch food and I would say this is your go to if you're like me 😅 Charcoal pancake - playful colours and very nice presentation. First time I tried charcoal pancake and it was a good experience with all those toppings on it. Chai latte - I would suggest to order only one for two persons as it's more than enough SERVICE Staff are approachable. Quick service considering these food would take an ample amount of time to prepare. PLACE I love the vibe. You would love it too if you're into beautiful victorian architecture. The toilet is located outside and you need to ask for the key to access the toilet. Located near a church and thus, along the church street, I guess 😉

I'll start with the positive. Food was good, the venues aesthetic was nice. Someone clearly cared about this place when setting it up, but clearly no longer. Cutlery arrived after the food, even then, in real-time they missed putting the right amount down twice, somehow. Wrong food orders were delivered, they couldn't handle nut allergies, though at least they checked, that's something. The worst part. Apparently the concept of a birthday hadn't been introduced to the staff here. We dropped off a cake to come out later. After asking for it and waiting 15 minutes, my partner had to go retrieve herself, it was plonked on a table inside, candles still next to it in their packets. We then had to go find a different person since apparently that first person was satisfied with their work to bring us plates to enjoy the cake. We abandoned the candles as this was obviously too complex. Now, I completely understand they may have been short staffed (they didn't appear to be) And I understand times have been tough Read my other reviews. I don't generally write negative reviews. This place really rubbed us all the wrong way and I was super disappointed. Please train your staff or find staff that actually want to be there.

Sat outside which was lovely, but service seemed a little slow. I had a booking & requested a table under cover if possible and enough to fit a pram. When we got there and told them of our booking, they had tables available undercover but not for our table. They ladies asked me questions that seemed very disorganised as I made the booking on line and was very clear requests. They didn't seem to look at the booking or the requests. Kids food came out pretty quick. All our meals were good too except my 2 poached eggs, well 1 was hard & the other was runny. Oh well, coffee was great, that's what I mainly cared about! Used to be a local and come here a fair bit, they used to have an old run down play equipment for kids, it's completely gone, thank goodness but it would be great to see some new play equipment put back in. There's lots of space for it! Would be a big hit with the kids, especially the parents 😉 I would be back. Thanks...
