What Margaret M likes about The Premises:
Lovely generous food. Breakfast was fresh and nice. Decent range of coffee options including cold pressed . Loved the old school desks. Next time coffee and cake, they looked delightful. View all feedback. What Mallory Roob doesn't like about The Premises:
Yesterday we had a breakfast Business Meeting here for the first time on the recommendation of a friend. Good location close to the local railway station , good coffee, good quality reasonably priced food (my baked eggs were excellent) with excellent service. My only slight criticism is the chairs are quite uncomfortable. View all feedback.
