Very pleasantly surprised by the Old Greengrocer. You can always tell a place is good when you can't get a table, we timed it just right! Beautifully decorated, great service and amazing food. Will be going back
Had one of the best Sunday Roasts here - succulent pork belly, great yorkie puds, and for a bargain price too. I love they kept the place homely and true to its greengrocer roots - it’s such a special place, I can definitely see myself coming back for more!
Absolutely gorgeous and impressive plates of food, good coffee and the chefs really do an amazing job making the food look and taste absolutely stunning, which is exactly what you want when eating out- truly blew away expectations and got a bowl of sausage for the dog! (thrilled!)
We went for breakfast yesterday (Easter Sunday) and it was absolutely wonderful! The food was so delicious (kipper fans, please please please order the kippers, you won't be disappointed!), service was lovely, and portions were HUGE! We had a gorgeous family brunch - couldn't fault it!
A great find and ideal for breakfast (and I’m sure for other meals) with indoor and covered outdoor seating. The food was very tasty and extremely well presented. Service was quick, smiley and welcoming. There are several vegetarian options. The cafe is very popular but they will reserve tables on a telephone call, as there were reserved tables when we arrived. Acceas to tables for people with limited abilities, but the small toilet and washroom is through the counter area and down a tight corridor and is not at all accessible.We would happily go again at a different time of day to experience the other foods that they offer as well as the delightful breakfast that we had.
I absolutely cannot fault the food and the staff! The best breakfast and lunch I have ever had in my life, and I am not exaggerating!The mushrooms breakfast it s to die for and the chef its absolutely amazing along with his lady at the counter, amazing people!I am keeping returning as I am local, I shall reserve a table as its always busy!Keep up the good work
Amazing gem of a place! Great lunch selection on menu. I ordered pan fried mushrooms on focaccia with a soft boiled egg. I've never seen so many different foods on one plate! One of the best lunches I've ever had. Highly recommend. Lovely, efficient & friendly staff.
I'd heard so much about this place & was taken today for the most amazing Sunday Lunch. It really does deserve success as a family owned business delivering such superb food & good value. Really excellent
