Came in after a walk in the park. Sausage rolls were the highlight. Flaky pastry, proper filling. Busy but service stayed on point.

Great spot for live music. Sound system is solid, not too loud. Caught a couple of good acts last Friday. Cozy vibe, perfect for a quick drink after work.

The full English breakfast was a decent portion for the price. Two eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, and toast. Filled me up for the whole morning. The waffles looked good too, maybe next time.

Lovely spot for a quiet coffee. The sleepy jazz music is a nice touch, really adds to the cosy vibe. Perfect for just sitting and watching the street for a while. My latte was good, though it did cool down a bit quickly.

My gluten-free diet means I rarely get good cake. Their lemon and rose meringue was a proper treat. The whole menu can be made GF, which is a relief. My dog enjoyed his sausage, too.

Five cheese and wine pairing. They explained each one, which was nice. Made for a good, relaxed evening. Service was a bit slow between courses, but the food itself was spot on. Solid choice if you&#39;re not in a rush.

Came for a coffee and ended up staying for ages just watching the river. The staff were really nice about it, didn&#39;t rush me at all. That view is the real draw here.

Grabbed a quick lunch here. The vegan sausage sourdough toastie was spot on. Came with a decent pile of crisps and salad too. Good portion for the price. Got me in and out fast, which is exactly what I needed.

Popped in for a late breakfast. The pancakes were warm and fresh, came with a huge pile of bacon and loads of syrup. Just what I needed. Staff were nice too.

The oat latte is a standout. They serve it with a little heart-shaped shortbread, which is a nice touch. The coffee itself is excellent, really well-balanced. It paired nicely with the quiet morning vibe. A solid spot for a proper coffee.

Nice spot for people-watching from the first floor. Coffee was decent.

A lovely, cosy spot. The coffee was spot on, and my dish was gorgeous &ndash; a bit too much for me, honestly. Had a nice glass of red with it that worked surprisingly well.

Love that they have non-dairy milk. The almond croissants were a real treat. Staff were lovely when I asked about gluten-free options, very helpful.

A lovely, welcoming cafe with the sweetest dog pictures on the wall.

Popped in for a coffee and ended up staying for lunch. The shortbread is seriously moorish, couldn&#39;t stop at one piece. Brownies were a solid follow-up. Just a nice, simple spot.

A really nice spot to unwind. The no-laptops rule is great, it keeps the place feeling calm and social. The staff were very friendly and made sure I was comfortable. A lovely, quiet atmosphere for a relaxed lunch.

Loved the cheese scone here. So warm and flaky, it just hit the spot on a grey afternoon. The whole place has this lovely, slightly odd charm.

The 2-for-1 cocktails are always a good shout. It&#39;s just a solid, dependable place for a drink. The vibe is always easy, never feels like they&#39;re trying too hard.

This place is my go-to for a quick lunch. The brie and bacon panini is spot on every time. Coffee&#39;s always hot and ready. In and out in 20 minutes. Perfect for a busy day.

Came here for breakfast and the staff were so friendly! I had the avocado toast with a poached egg, and the yolk was just runny enough. It&#39;s a cosy spot, really enjoyed it.

Been here a few times. They&#39;ve got a good range of beers and the cocktails are well made, you can tell the staff put thought into them. Nice spot for a group or just a quiet pint.

Been coming here for years, and the breakfast is always spot on. It&rsquo;s the consistency that keeps me coming back. Gets busy, so you might have to queue a bit, but that&rsquo;s part of it.

Got here early to beat the rush. Coffee&#39;s top notch, honestly some of the best around. Pastries looked amazing, grabbed a croissant. Quick and easy for a morning pick-me-up.

Been coming here for years. The owner always remembers my usual order. It&#39;s just a simple, quiet spot to grab a coffee and sit for a bit. Nothing fancy, but that&#39;s the point.

Popped in for a late breakfast. The scrambled eggs with salmon on sourdough really stood out &ndash; the eggs were so soft and the salmon tasted incredibly fresh. That&#39;s exactly what I look for. The coffee was good too. There was a bit of a wait, but I didn&#39;t mind.

The full English was spot on, especially those grilled mushrooms. They took me right back. Had it with a proper pot of strong breakfast tea, which was just the thing. A solid start to the day.

Quirky, relaxed spot in a historic building. Good for a casual drink with a friend. The vibe is the main draw here.

Lovely little spot for a cuppa. The pot of tea was generous, easily two cups. Toast and jam was fine, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. Saw some tempting cakes on the counter though.
