Pleasant space with lots of things you didn't think you needed. Coffee and waffles downstairs. The service is top notch?.

Very good, the guys who collect are absolutely superb. Those who organize pick-up could have had a little better communication.

We were greeted by the lovely aroma of waffles when we entered. Very tidy premises which piqued our curiosity. Clear rooms that were signposted. Was looking for a round dining table, didn't find this this time. But took a waffle and coffee. Made me want to go straight home and clean, because the thought that what is just lying around taking up space at home can be useful for others. Did something to me. Worth a visit!
