Beyond sandwiches and burgers, the kitchen offers paninis with house-made pesto or Dijon mustard, fresh salads including a Caesar-style "Greenie" with crispy chicken, and comforting sides such as hand-cut fries with multiple dipping options. Fish and chips, chicken sticks with herbs, and daily soup specials round out a menu designed for accessibility without sacrificing quality. The beverage selection includes Danish coffee varieties, café latte, espresso, and house-made drinks like elderflower lemonade and rhubarb cordial, catering to both coffee enthusiasts and those seeking lighter refreshment.Atmosphere and Setting
