Cafe 19
“There is a good little cafe on The Springs called Cafe 19. It deserves a special mention as it couples good solid cafe food with a wonderful welcome and a real sense of community, because of this, it is incredibly busy, so expect to wait or share a table and chat with some of the locals.”

Iris
“For something a little more elaborate, try Iris on the Bullring. Classic English cookery and a great Sunday lunch. They also have regular events like a food tasting quiz, where you guess the ingredients of the dishes you are served. 10 plates from around the world and also guinea pig night where they present dishes from their new menus. It’s a busy place so you should try to book.”
