My go to, tried and tested and never fails lunch/brunch place. Runs like a machine, staff is friendly and professional (I've never had a botched order), the menu is perfection and the unpretentious setting is cosy with rustic touches of wood and exposed brick. Never dissapoints. Will return over and over again with friends, out of town guests etc.
