Lovely little place and reasonably priced. I've only had a cake, a bacon sarnie and coffee but it was really nice. They've made a big effort to modernise and decorate, and it shows. Just what the area needs. Does functions too so check it out. Recommended.
Great place, we hired the naughty habit for a private function, very accommodating, great communication and excellent service. All on the staff were fantastic. What a great place for a private function. Thank you
Awesome ambience, great setup, very friendly staff, superb food, a decent selection of drinks. An absolute hidden gem! Just head on up the small alley where the sign is!There is parking nearby but not directly associated with the venue.All of the food is great but, based on one vist (so far), the chicken bites, garlic mushrooms, loaded fries, fondue garlic flatbread, cheese and chilli bites are AWESOME. Be aware the kitchen closed fairly early when we were there (19.30) because it was very hot and there was live music (it normaly closes at 8 anyway though). Either way it's worth turning up early!!!
Lovely place, very friendly staff. Breakfast was superb. Highly recommended
