Overview

Small enough for intimacy, large enough to bring all your mates and comfortably adept at juggling the two, Art’s is the perfect venue for all manner of occasions and cosy to boot.

Art plays an important role in this café-bar’s ethos: samples of local artists’ labours adorn the canary yellow walls, with these exhibitions changing every six weeks – or sooner if a piece gets sold.

Though emphasis remains resolutely on serving fantastic modern European and English grub, the extensive wine list and healthy choice of cocktails means there’s something for those wanting to give food a miss.
