The burgers , fries and coleslaw have to be some of the best in MCR. Great bar that is just the right side of cool (beware the occasional hipster ) and the beer selection is always top-notch.

Josef Szotten

I really enjoyed the veggie chilli and would you believe it - the kale salad . They've done well with the new refit as well .

Downbeat Bhikku

Great coffee and eggs . Good friendly and fast serving and dog friendly . Proper.

Guest beers on draught tend to be a little pricey at nearly £7 sometimes!

The chilli was so delicious. So much flavour. The donut I had wasn't very good though. :/

Helen Scott

Great atmosphere and food, good gluten free and vegan options

A billion vegan junk items, some salads . Just didn't quite work for me. If you're into fake stuff, it might work for you. I wanted to love it.

Food is great, but it's really hard to find seating sometimes!

It's very crowded and a bit chaotic. It's also quite slow, but judging by how busy it is, I think they are handling it well . Food is okay.
