A very cute and unassuming place with barely ten tables to dine on, this little restaurant had just about the most interesting and all encompassing vegetarian menu I\\&#8217;ve ever seen. I\\&#8217;ve always been a fussy blighter with my food, driving my family mad when I was a nipper, so it\\&#8217;s a rare day when I encounter a menu that inspires me to want to trough every item!

It was very decent fodder indeed and the cosy atmosphere made for excellent conversation. Even though Jasper is an ardent carnivore, he was smiling like a Cheshire cat when he sampled the delicious fayre on offer and its safe to say that this place is a Veggie\\&#8217;s dream. Oodles of variety and plenty to keep their carniverous friends and loved ones perfectly sated.<\/p><p>We both had the pleasure of sampling parking tickets for dessert (who would think parking restrictions would still apply on bank hols?!), but wish we could have stayed.
