KEVIN DAVIES Distinctive House-Baked Liquorice Bread
A signature house specialty, the warm liquorice bread served with Pepe Saya butter wins over both enthusiasts and sceptics alike.
Highly recommend the Licorice Bread—even if you’re not a licorice fan. It’s like banana bread with a subtle licorice twist that’s super warming.

The homemade spam was high quality and went very well with the cheese and bread.

Secondary bites, sides, and sweet breakfast options
Homemade Crumpet
I opted for a takeaway coffee and a homemade crumpet, which, I must admit, one was barely enough. It was a very generous size crumpet. I just wanted more...The combination was absolutely delightful, especially with the homemade blueberry jam - a true highlight.
ReputationChef Granola Bowl
The granola had this lingering aftertaste, which I just cannot put my finger on. Is it honey? Maple syrup? Whatever it was, it made me longing to take another bite and figure it out. The yogurt was creamy and paired fantastically with the granola, and the poached fruit rounded this entire bowl together to give a nice freshness.
Bridie Shingles Pulled Jackfruit Toastie
Plus the pulled jackfruit toastie with lotus chips, both were delicious.
Ms Gamne Crispy Potatoes
The crispy potatoes were the fluffiest on the inside, crispiest on the outside, most perfectly seasoned potatoes I’ve ever had.
