Food Scene

Bright, big windows, airy and filled with a great vibe full of locals throughout the day and evening. One of the few places you can catch the sun at pretty much any time of day, both in and out.

Simple and uncomplicated fine dining in a converted warehouse down our street. There's no sign on the door but you'l see it, with some lights and usually a bustle of people outside. Listen out for the grand piano.

Walk out of our door and left through the estate and up the road to get into Victoria Park. Stroll through past the lake and grab yourself coffee and breakfast at Pavillion. All food is vegetarian, many dishes with Sri Lankan influence. Bring a metal cup from our cupboard to avoid unnecessary use of plastic and paper cups.
