The Goat and Grass
THE STORY

A little about The Goat and Grass.

The Goat and Grass is a friendly independent café tucked away on Cross Street, a short stroll from the Market Square. Dedicated to coffee and healthy food, it has become a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike, particularly for breakfast, brunch and lunch.

The menu is varied and a little different from the usual café fare, with everything freshly cooked to order using quality ingredients. Choose from healthy breakfasts, egg dishes such as shakshuka, salads, sandwiches, wraps and burgers, with the goat's cheese salad a regular customer favourite. Vegetarian and vegan diners are well catered for, and gluten free options are available too.

To drink, there's excellent coffee, matcha lattes and smoothies, with homemade cakes such as carrot cake to finish. The team is happy to adapt dishes where they can, and the atmosphere is warm and buzzing, with seating inside and out. Dogs are welcome too.

It can get busy at peak times, which says a lot about how popular it is, so it's worth arriving early at weekends.
