Keep up the good work.guys Fantastic and would most definitely return again.thank you.. for taking us last minute also.

Fantastic vegan options! The mushroom kebab is other-worldly, quite salty with an amazing texture and taste. The smoked tofu, likewise, is absolutely fabulous. Good Kentish drinks available, and plenty of space and service on a Saturday. Will definitely come again! Didn't try any of the mains, but they looked to be just as good. I suppose the only downside is that they only serve food at the front, next to the b road, or inside, but not in the nice garden out the back. Still, I'd definitely come again ?

Fantastic breakfast, we all went for the full English which really good quality food cooked perfectly, the service was friendly and efficient. I was very impressed with my sons child’s breakfast it’s refreshing to find somewhere that offered the same quality and options as the adult menu. We will be back at a later date to try the evening menu.
