Food was first class staff were also lovely even tho I was on my own I was to feel welcome as we were when we went into the church for the first time that much so we are now going into our 4th week I think. My grandson Noah also loves going to the church and the Sunday school he says it’s great but no as good as the west sorry people.

Great wee café. Well organised with spaced out tables and one way system. Good coffee and a selection of soup and sandwiches or hot meals. No booking so at busy times you might need to wait on a table and chairs being sanitised. Table service only. Feels like a very safe space to meet a friend for coffee or lunch. Staff are terrific and Kirsty's scones are to die for.
