Renroc Café

Renroc somehow evokes the inside of Mary Poppins' carpetbag: to have so much packed into this petite and friendly cafe there must be magic at work. More than a cafe, this is a library, gallery, cinema and health clinic where everyone feels like family.
 
The food is excellent value—all mains under £5—with bread and quiches sourced from local artisan bakeries. The all day luxury breakfasts are a must for the morning (or afternoon) after and there are some great sweet treats.
 
Nestling in a primarily residential area you might have to ask directions, but the locals will know where you are heading – and might well use it as another excuse to pay this little sanctuary a visit themselves.
