A dining experience here would not be complete without an encounter with the beautiful, Ms. Karen Young.<\/strong> She’ll gladly share with her guests the story behind her restaurant, maybe a few facts about England and the proper way the ladies of leisure drink their tea, the key ingredients in her dishes, and more.<\/p>\n

As for the interiors, being a restored home<\/strong>, so stepping inside feels like visiting a close aunt as she prepares you some of her home-cooked meals. The ambience of the place is very homey and comforting<\/strong> – a place where a person can feel relaxed and enjoy good conversations.<\/p>\n
Everything is vintage<\/strong>, from the oven as a centrepiece, the vintage kitchen tools, and even the furniture.<\/p>\n
