Our
Story

Inspired by mischievous siblings who knew how to savour life's moments, who believed that a little trouble made everything taste better and that the best memories always started with "Don't Tell Dad".

For Lesley. By Daniel.

Bakery & coffee

Classics with a twist, sweet and savoury pastries, sourdough bread and creative sandwiches made daily in our open kitchen. And there's proper coffee - roasted by casual obsessives and prepared with care. 

Food&
Wine

Food&
Wine

Evolving seasonal menus of modern French and British dishes with big flavours created with carefully sourced ingredients. Drink distinctly crafted cocktails or wine from an eclectic list, including serious bottles in our cellar and great-value varieties on tap.
