Think it's called Lemon Tree now. We had a very nice vegetarian sharing platter. Update: Just realised we were across the road from The Orchid. Sorry for any confusion..

We have ordered a few times and always a group breakfast order for collection. Absolutely delicious everytime, great choice for breakfast items. Staff are always lovely and friendly, even when short staffed. Shockingly cheap too, I can't believe the low prices. Feels like I'm ripping them off. They then wrap them in foil and put them in paper bags with everyone's name on them. Amazing.
