I’ve been wanting to try anything from Steph the Chef for ages! Finally, one fine Sunday, together with some friends, I finally got to try her brunch package. First thing to note - you need to order these in advance because they sell out really quickly. I think I reached out to her two weeks prior because the last time I tried to book a few days to - there were no slots left.

Pallet cafe is located just opposite Lavington Green shopping mall, it has quite a small sign so be on the lookout for it so you don’t miss it. It’s a completely outdoor cafe which I love! The grounds are so green and lush, plants everywhere and the hanging plants on the low corrugated roofing make it feel like an open greenhouse. You can choose to sit within the sheltered section or out on the grass when the weather is behaving.

This restaurant is one of my regular spots. I’ve spent a lot of time here over the years. If you come here in the morning the wonderful scent of freshly baked goods welcomes you and sits with you in their cosy round table booths. She may not remember this but a close friend of mine, Abigail, is the one who introduced me to this spot years ago when they had just opened.
