Lorenzo's Cafe Restaurant

Head down Stoke Road towards the town centre and you'll find Lorenzo's tucked in among the independent shops—the kind of place locals actually return to rather than talking about. Inside, it's unpretentious: wooden chairs, neutral walls, the sort of spot where people bring newspapers and laptops without anyone making them feel rushed. The menu keeps things straightforward—solid coffee, pastries that don't insult your intelligence, and lunch plates that lean Italian but don't get precious about it. It's busy without being precious, and at these prices you're not paying for Instagram potential.
