"The food was absolutely delicious, just what we needed after a long bike ride and the lady who served us was absolutely lovely! Couldn’t recommend more"

"We were moving into a new building nearby and decided to stop for lunch, and Butterfingers caught our eye. Being close to Grainger Market, there are plenty of options around, but I was craving a simple, well made toasty and there are not many places that do such a simple thing well. I went for a bacon, brie and cranberry toasty, and I was genuinely impressed. It was packed with generous portions of high quality bacon and brie, perfectly balanced with the cranberry. Simple, but done exceptionally well. The staff really made the experience even better. Friendly and welcoming, they added a personal touch that made the visit feel special. On top of that, the prices were excellent, making it a perfect spot for a casual lunch."
