A 10/10 spot with incredible flavor, great ambience, impressive variety, and perfect service. The crispy pork belly bowl and panceta are standouts, and even a quick Americano will leave you feeling lighter and happier.

We had the English breakfast on a saturday morning. Contrary to what Google says kitchen was open at 9am. Highly recommend the English Breakfast (its a big portion). Zen atmosphere, well curated garden with a fishpond ( we sat outside). I cant speak for the inside seating. Excellent customer service. Someone asked to help us even though they had literally just opened the restaurant and they weren't even wait staff. Quick, attentive and flexible service. Overall highly recommend for a lazy breakfast/brunch vibe. Ps there are other establishments in the same compound - there is a spa and shops and plenty of parking.

Whether I’m popping in for a quick Americano or just an espresso for take away, or settling into a corner with the kids for a proper bite, I always leave feeling lighter and happier than I came in. Their menu? Fresh and flavorful options every week that feel thoughtful rather than fussy. And service? So warm. It's become one of those places that just fits into the day-to-day; like, of course we’re meeting at The Nook. It’s our little home-away-from-home nook. Love It Here!

Third time here and twice for dinner. Place is rustic with wooden tone and very spacious. Interest is that dinner is thematic done on a weekly. This week was middle eastern. However, they also have best sellers though limiting for those who want something else. The firewood stove gives some good warmth for those who want to be indoors, there is a bonfire at the bar area. Place is well lit, with wide array of drinks alcoholic and non alcoholic. Did I say it's family friendly too? Yes it is. Meals were good, delicious, portions too and I guess value for money. Had some prawns starter and lamb with humus. Main we did pork spare ribs(huge portions) and pepper steak. Food was okay.
