We sat by the old sash windows, slightly ajar to let in the spring air.
I had a lovely falafel salad on a bright spring Saturday. My friend, whose here for 6 months from France, had the much loved British classic, jacket potato wirh beans and cheese. The portion was generous, ingredients fresh and crisp and the falafel nicely spiced, herby balls of fried goodness that were light and airy inside.
If you're looking for a reliable lunch spot, then TAC is always a good option.
Stopped here for breakfast and dinner in the same day when I was in town for a conference. Delicious fresh porridge and hearty no-nonsense jacket potato- just what I needed on both occasions.
