Food Scene

The décor is eclectic which gives it a homely feel. Friendly staff. They serve delicious coffee, cooked breakfasts, a number of vegetarian dishes and for lunch I recommend the bangers and mash.

As soon as you walk in you imagine yourself in Thailand. I lived in Asia for 13 years so can confidently say that their curries taste 100% authentic. My favourite is the not too spicy Massaman curry.

I always call this an upmarket fast food restaurant Portuguese style. You order at the till but get table service. Famous for it's chicken burgers with real chicken breast and spicy peri peri fries.
