Nice inside, but truth be told they lost me when they charged £3.50 for a pint of Coke.

Had a tasty breakfast here, really nice people and delicious. Apparently there’s a roof garden too. Function room would be great if I wasn’t too tall for the ceilings. Revised verdict down after second visit where service was really poor.
Verdict: Ok
