Abigail's Guidebook
Food scene
This is one of our favourite places for brunch, coffee and breakfast. The food is AMAZING! Abi recommends the Turkish Eggs. Adam loves the pancakes.
At times you might have to queue and it's probably not ideally for a leisurely drawn out afternoon catch up as tables are fairly closely spaced and there are likely to be other people waiting.

Superb food - large-ish tapas style plates enable to try lots of the amazing options on the menu.
We especially loved the feta and pea croquettes and the roast potatoes but everything was incredible. Friendly, relaxed service too!
We'd recommend booking a table in advance, especially at the weekend.

Takeaway only. Delicious - 100% cooked on site.
We love picking up a taco and relaxing in Queens Park - on a bench or lying out on the grass.
Mmmmm.... cakes from here are also good if you've got some spare room in your tum.
