Koo is a friendly, neighbourhood café at the top end of Chatsworth Road, Brampton. It’s beautifully decorated, they serve great coffee and have a really nice breakfast and lunch menu. I used to come to Koo all the time when my daughter was little. The food and coffee was fabulous, they were always really friendly […]

The Bottle Kiln in West Hallam is one of the loveliest places to have a relaxing al fresco lunch or coffee and catch up. Their expansive gift/lifestyle shops will have you lusting after all sorts of lovely things you really want (and probably don’t need). It’s the perfect place for gifts or to treat yourself. […]
