We loved Founder’s Cafe! It’s charming atmosphere, food and wait staff were delightful. We returned a few times. 🥰 Try the locally sourced Ginger Beer!

Look... If you want a quiet pub thats simple and genuine. You can't go wrong. Its just out of towm enough to have its own atmosphere of chill perfect for and afternoon of beer and long chats with good friends.

Don’t walk, RUN to this cafe. Don’t like history? Close your eyes through the park to get there. For the love of GOD, order the creamy mushrooms. It is nothing short of a religious experience. Would have given ten stars if possible.
