    Good Points: Clearly genuinely enthusiastic about delivering their product. What a refreshing change.
    A bespoke coffee blend they've had put together with traceable origins. An obviously high quality espresso with great crema, a great nose, and one which while very smooth also cuts through the milk nicely. A league above the usual mass produced offerings.
    I treated myself to a Steak, Horseradish and Ale pie, good pastry, plenty of meat, and au natrelle like the rest of the food - no chemicals, prepared on site in their kitchen fresh on the day.
    The shortbread was OK, but didn't do anything for me particularly. Their gingerbread however was fantastic, not dissimilar to Lake District gingerbread, which for those that have experienced it is about as far removed from your usual gingerbread men with buttons as you can get. Will be making this a regular haunt, there's a lot more to try yet.


    Bad Points: They're really set up for takeaway and it's a small store, so table numbers are limited (I think there were 7 or so). At busy times it'll be hard to get a table.
    They need more clearer information on what they've made up that day, otherwise it's easy to miss it.


    General comments: In general this is a very strong attempt at the coffee shop sector, business is based on product and word of mouth. Privately owned by all accounts, and although it looks like a branded unit there only seems to be 1, plus a separate kitchen operation elsewhere on site where it all gets made.
    A very professional and competent delivery from apparent newcomers and they've raised the game above a number of the big names already if you ask me. Credit where it's due!
