  • Wholesome, Generous Cafe Fare

    Generous dishes such as eggs benedict with pulled pork and hearty breakfasts satisfy hunger and come served promptly alongside well-crafted coffee.

    The pulled pork was tender, moist and plenty. The eggs where just right and the chilli powder gave a special pleasant hotness to it. Really good.

    When my friend and I said we’d never tried figs before the waiter plucked some off, washed them and gave them to us to try!

  • Request the Courtyard for Kids and Dogs
