Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2011/12 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.

The unique interior of welcoming shabby chic makes this a pleasant gem of a place to catch your busy urban breath over a quick wholesome soup and sandwich lunch, or a leisurely afternoon tea. The food is excellent. Here they do justice to the classic cheese and tomato toastie, served with salad garnish and crisps on the side. Complement your chosen sarnie with the delicious spicy Thai carrot soup, and make sure to save a place for the mouthwatering cake. With no less than ten home-made cakes to choose from, the unusual nutty courgette cake layered with smooth cream-cheese icing and topped with pistachio nuts is a real treat. Tea for two is served in mismatched tea sets and tastes so much better poured from a pot that has served thousands of cups to generations of tea drinkers. Here suited businessmen sit comfortably between tables of cool grannies and mums and babies. An ironic but tasteful take on the traditional tearoom.

  • High point: Gorgeous interior
  • Low point: Limited vegetarian options on high-tea menu
