A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A colourful courtyard behind The Mansion
Hidden inside The Mansion, Canteen pairs a bright courtyard with generous brunches, homemade buns and produce from local farms and makers.
Turn off Fore Street into The Mansion for a café with a cheerful courtyard and a kitchen that makes much of its food from scratch. Tara and Matty brought their shared enthusiasm for local produce here after meeting at Dartington. The result gives a shopping day a welcome lunch break, with choices for vegetarian, vegan and omnivorous appetites.
