Excellent service and the best coffee in Newark
I just wanted to thank you for a great night out on Saturday 29th January. The jazz duo were superb and really managed to strike the right balance of sound and content. The food was delicious, wine absolutely wonderful and the staff very attentive. Just one small question - is it possible to have one of your day time cakes as a dessert?
