It's easy to walk past this at-
mospheric Grade II-listed cafe as it still looks exactly like the ironmonger's shop that it
once was, with its original counter, glass cabinets, wooden drawers and other fittings. It's
a favourite with locals, with jolly, if haphazard, service, light meals (soup, rarebit, sand-
wiches, cakes), newspapers and books to browse, and a good wi-fi connection.
