Illegal Jack: Delightful independent purveyor of tasty goodness. Lovely place to relax. Free wi-fi too :)
Shell Bryson: Best smoothies in town, and the hot drinks are pretty outstanding too. Can get rather busy—but that’s because Hula is great.
Carrie Anne Walton: £5 for soup & sandwich and both were absolutely delicious. Free refils on all pots of tea too, bonus! Staff are an absolute delight too, reminds me a lot of my old favourite (now closed) cafe in Newca
