Farmstand


 Taking its inspiration from US "small roadside stalls selling surplus crops and produce from local farms", Farmstand in Drury Lane offers hot food meals - main and two sides - at £7.50.

 Pulled beef plus Puy Lentils with wild mushrooms and chervil and roasted artichokes with capers and parsley was excellent.

Confectionery in a Cafe - great for the confectionery brand but little margin, almost no cash profit, zero creativity and suggests an operation more in tune with a newsagent/forecourt than a cafe that wishes to build its own brand.
