Lovely little spot to stop for lunch,I had the Italian cheese toastie and it may be one of the best toasties I've had in town.

Just great. Really good coffee, lovely croissant , all served by nice friendly people in the larder. Look round it has a large selection of cheese, a short but good menu of sandwiches and hot foods plus a good select choice of wines all under one roof. ...

What a beautiful surprise. The cafe, staff and food are beautiful. We were made welcome but not over the top. The food was so delicious. The coffee was great. Lovely gifts available too. If we lived closer (we’re 2 hours away) we’d definitely be returning. Thank you!

We found this place looking for a specialist cheesemonger, it wasn't quite what we were expecting, It appears to be more of a cafe that also sells cheese wine chutney and various other charcuterie. We have been a couple of times and the have a good selection of quality products.

This is a nice friendly little deli cafe. There are a lot of nice items to buy like coffee, sauces, chocolates, dried pastas etc and a few tables where you can sit and grab a coffee and sandwich. Staff are friendly and it has a nice relaxed rustic feel and atmosphere. Well behaved dogs are welcome and there were three in there when we visited. I would happily visit again if I could find a free table :-).
