Shipping crates and an unused car park had a remarkable glow-up a decade ago to become this crisp and light-filled community favourite. Staff take scissors to the lush kitchen garden for fizzy rosemary, basil and rhubarb shrub, or to garnish brunch stars including a cauliflower croque monsieur with scorched cheesy top. There’s a shaded astroturf lawn for kids and dogs, and Bellinis for their adult supervisors.
Good to know: Street parking is plentiful and unmetered for stress-free long brunches.
