WELCOME

We are an independent, family owned restaurant in the heart of Washington Village. The big, little brother of The Green tearoom.

We serve the highest quality, locally sourced, wholesome, fresh, British food. Our passionate Head Chef, Andrew Wilkinson, makes sure that his menus work around seasonality, reflecting in the food he prepares, so that we continue to be an excellent destination for those seeking outstanding quality food and drink.

Our team are committed to offering something a little different to the usual, creating a space in which our customers are valued and feel at home.
