42 Cafe Bar

Thank you for an amazing lunch. We had the breakfast board (gluten free), the Parma and French toast, all delicious and beautifully presented. Great coffee too. And, they have a huge range of loose leaf teas (see the photo of them all) Very friendly and helpful service. A great assortment of gluten free options on the menu. We sat upstairs which was really nice. Looks like a great place for meetings and functions. Don’t hesitate to come here for your next culinary feast.

This cafe used to be owned by two lovely gay men , it has recently changed owners and how very obvious ! When myself and partner sat down to have a coffe we noticed the rainbow flag was taken of there window (everything else was left exactly the same) this is a massive statement to take a tiny sticker off a window ! Myself and my partner we uncomfortable from that point and when we asked why it was taken down ! We simply got told the new owners have different views, that’s fine but to buy a cafe of a gay couple and then take the flag down is a HUGE Statement and pretty much is telling people we no longer accept all walks of life, very disappointing that this has happened and what a way to destroy a business they will loose a fair few customers who once felt safe and welcomed to dine in this cafe !

The staff were friendly however I was incredibly disappointed after ordering the eggs benidict to take away I got home to find out that they had not givin me my hollandaise sauce which is a defining feature of eggs benidict. I called them up about this and their only solution was to have me return to the store to get the hollandaise with no recompense for the waste of time caused by their mistake and by the time i had gotten home my meal was cold and I was all round feeling rather let down with my dining experience. While the food in it self was not bad the fact that they initially failed to provide what had been advertised was a huge let and the fact that there was no attempt to make up for their failure was a huge let down and a bit of a bum start to the year.
