Busy with folk inside and outside on a damp grey and humid late afternoon. I found one of many shelves available inside to park one's glass.

1330 visit all outside seating taken on a cloudy but muggy day so I sat inside. In spite of the modern interior the soft subtle lighting made for a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

14:10 Having heard good reports about this place a visit was called for. Fairly quiet, five other customers came or went whilst I was there. Friendly welcome. Sausage rolls were popular.
