Best coffee in the area. Been doing my morning coffee run here for about three years and nothing in the area beats it.

Dark wood panelling, cozy seats clustered around the fireplace, snippy waitresses: Doesn't get more English than this. Try the sea bass with mussels and squid ink rice to enter food heaven.

I had no idea that The English did a great local morning fry up. Eggs poached to perfection. Highly recommended!

Great selection of Belgium beers! Cute interior too, feels like you’ve gone back in time.

Nice live jazz on monday & friday night! Perfect for a warm evening, sitting outside and watch the people pass by! Food's supposed to be decent too.

A little bit overpriced, but the food is great and they have live music. Try chocolate fondant

Probably the best quality french wines in the area. Food is also very good.

The bread and butter pudding is top-notch. I'll be back for it again!

They definitely do good food here but most of the staff always seem to be in such a rush, it creates a bit of a hectic atmosphere, which doesn't make me feel like I'd want to come back again.

Their full English breakfast is good.

Friday night jazz was exceptional, no wait, it's horrible - I don't want you to take my table!

A cute place for a date, ask for a booth. Don't order the house sparkling wine, when we tasted it it was horrible, ended up sending it back.

Great scallops

Service with an attitude, but not the pleasant sort! Food is good though but not very special.

Pricey and slow service. Cottage pie was good

Don't order the green salad. It was the most expensive four leaves of lettuce I have ever eaten.
Sarah TonksOctober 5, 2013
Honestly didn't think much to the food. Ordered a ham terrine and it was a pate. Disappointed.
Bradley WoodMay 24, 2013
Oysters mediocre. Not served on ice. Bubbly good tho.
