Finding us, and parking

The two things people actually ring to ask, answered before they have to. Hours here are the real ones and change on the page, not on a sign in the window.

Nunns Road car park, two minutes. Six minutes from the station, downhill on the way here and uphill on the way back, which is what the buns are for.

“The only place round here that tells you when the bread comes out.”
