Beautifully restored indoor independent food market. Foodie heaven! Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch and Dinner. This indoor food market is always buzzing and busy. Communal tables and smaller ones upstairs. Great place to hang out in a group. Decent sized bar area too. Quality doesn't come cheap so expect to spend anywhere from £15-£30 pp and more. Everything is good here. Great pizza, fish and seasonal specials change weekly. Some of the cakes and bakes are also to die for. Great place to kick the evening off but be aware its very busy at weekends so get there early. About £5 in an Uber from our place.
