The Urban Monk Café in Kingshill House is a lovely place to
visit for a cuppa, a light lunch and a catch up with friends. The menu changes
each week and it is always varied and full of delicious soups, sandwiches and
hot lunches.
I went in December and had a delicious butternut squash soup
with croutons and it was served with olives, a mini stuffed tomato, feta cheese
cubes, rocket and spinach, a variety of crackers and pickle and a cranberry and
cheese filo parcel (see picture). It was so tasty and filling yet there was
still room for dessert! I had a trio of mini desserts which included an Oreo
and Baileys pudding, a mini cheesecake and a mini mousse.
As it was such a great afternoon, I also went for lunch (see picture) with my mum in February and had THE crispiest bacon in deliciously thick brown seeded bread which was also full of salad and tomatoes and complemented my massive teapot perfectly.
The best thing about this café is
that all the food is completely homemade and you can spend ages just chatting
with friends and everyone who runs the café are so friendly so pop along and
visit them! There is also arts and crafts on sale and all this money goes to
charity and includes things like homemade cards and homemade fudge which I would
recommend! They also have activities to entertain children (at those who are children at heart!) so at Christmas, we
sang carols and for Easter there is an Easter egg hunt so it’s perfect for
families too.
If you do pop along this Friday, the menu includes;
- # Spiced lamb flatbread with homemade cabbage pickle
- # Pastrami and emmental sourdough bread sandwich
with rocket and mustard
- # Homemade cream of mushroom soup
- # Various cakes
- # Cream teas
Don’t forget to visit! The café opens 12-4 so see you there 😊
