Summary

From the owners of Coarse – and named for their five year old daughter – this casual sibling opened in mid 2024 near the new bus station on a site that was formerly a coffee shop called Bean Social. Feedback is still too limited for a rating, but all of it is enthusiastic – if you want an on-trend small plates meal (or brunch) in this still under-served city, this is a good bet.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
