Good veggie breakfast/brunch, less veggie options in the evening
- Matt Bamford-BowesApril 28, 2010Great place for a sunday breakfast or lunch. Really nice food and the sunshine bouncing off the Lido makes it great. Phone to book a table outside if you can. Read more

Martin SosaJuly 6, 2010Yes, there are many babies (and mums). But it's great and also DOG friendly in the terrace with a stunning view of the lido and open skies!- Union Hand RoastedMay 9, 2012Beautiful flat white, they treat our Union coffee with the love it deserves!
Vicky NodenApril 8, 2011Enjoyed a burger and a beer. Very Mother-and-Baby friendly. Take your swimsuit on a hot day for a dip in the Lido
- The scotch egg - I really doubt I'll taste a better one in my life.
LorenzoPhotographySeptember 16, 2011Excellent food and very child friendly. Quite adult friendly too!
Emma GutteridgeApril 10, 2011Quite a lot of children but food is really good. Especially the blueberry pancakes.
Chat to the lovely owners, brothers Daniel and Duncan, who really make the friendly vibe of this place.
Dhiraj MJuly 22, 2012Ridiculous situation where they close between 1230 and 130pm. Disaster if you are with starving kids. Charged me £2.30 for 2 small pieces of bread to tide them over :(
Seb SkinnerAugust 12, 2012Rude lazy staff. Cold food. What's the big fuss? I wouldnt go unless they sacked the staff, who's service attitude seems to be they are doing you a favour. Truly awful
