    Wholesome organic vegetarian and vegan fare. Closely linked with Friends of the Earth.

    Tue-Fri 9AM-4PM

  2. Eat

    Cafe Face

    Excellent reputation for their roasted vegetables or jacket potatoes. Absolutely excellent cafes, big helpings not shy on the cheese, garlic mayonnaise and chilli sauce if you were to order them.

  3. Eat

    Canalside Cafe

    Fairly small cafe with a good range of organic and vegetarian foods. Excellent in the summer, as it's (unsurprisingly) right on the canalside.

  4. Eat

    Edwardian Tea Rooms

    Authentic Edwardian cafe. The food is a lot better than the price suggests.

  5. See

    Hudson's Coffee House

    The former coffee house is a rare, Grade I listed, example of a wall-to-wall townhouse in the Arts & Crafts style. It was built to house offices of the Eagle Insurance Company in 1900.
