Sitting inner city and canalside, one little lunchroom offers a little slice of prim and proper without any associated fuss. This casual yet crisp establishment oozes intoxicating perfumes of baked goods and coffee, and to study the breakfast and lunch menu is to learn that every line itemises an edible comfort more enticing than the last.

Arrays of sandwiches and luscious soups compete fiercely for stomach space while any hesitation over a mid afternoon pick-me-up is soon quashed at the sight of the soft puddings and tangy tarts being delivered around the room. Seating for a little over twenty makes an intimate space for sharing company with ladies who lunch and young advertising types who pop by from up the road.

Meanwhile, it’s not just the sticky toffee cake that’s delightful; the staff are also sweet as pie.
