Toasters, one of the newer additions to Market Square's buzzing coffee-shop scene, is the…read moredefinition of a hidden gem: great food and fantastic service in a brilliant location! If you fancy a toastie of nearly any variety, or a do-it-yourself salad, or a slice of home-made cake, this little sandwich bar with a twist is for you. There is so much here I could wax lyrical about... The toasties, the main focus of the menu, range from single-slice chocolate or cinnamon toasts to elaborate, multi-slice sandwich specials, and are all hand-made on order. The wait is short, and the quality exceptional. I personally recommend the Gourmet Specials: each of them is a triple-decker toasted sandwich, with more than one fresh and local ingredient - heavenly! The prices are very reasonable, for the toasties as well as the salads (which, I'll admit, I've never tried, but look delicious), the home-made cakes (yep, home-made on the premises) and the various sundries. All of the local and home-made flavour is packaged beautifully in a modern, hip-looking locale, an old-townhouse adapted into a sizeable seating area, although the very modern, Swedish-looking seating arrangement takes a little getting used to. My advice: sit at the outdoor tables in Market Square and soak up the rays in this very pleasant part of town. This little sandwich bar is everything you hope for from a local business, and a truly brilliant alternatively to the local Starbucks, Costa, etc. Give it a try, you won't regret it!

If you're looking for a great toastie specialist, then you've found it in Toasters. Watching my…read morefood getting prepared was a pleasure rather than a guilt trip, as I watched it being tended to carefully and hygienically (she washed her hands no less than three times in making my sandwich alone!). And the result wasn't awash with grease as some people seem to think toasted sandwiched need to be. The lady that served me was friendly and chatty, and was rather incredulous that I'm at university, and even more so when I said I was 21. One day these boyish good looks of mine (cough) will win me something other than a mild feeling of prepubescence. But anyway, the interior of Toasters is also quite fresh and comfortable, and is certainly a place you can feel happy about having a bite to eat and relaxing in. I was a little pensive at first when I looked at the price board, but the quality of the food certainly made up for it, and there's a loyalty card of sorts that allows you to get a free sandwich after having bought six. Not a bad thing in anyone's books!

Really great spot for healthier salads with copious options. I stopped in for lunch one day, and…read moregot their 1 main + 3 salads (£11.50 for eat in, £10.50 for take away). They had about 10 salads to choose from, most of which were vegan, and a bunch of mains, two of which were vegan. For the main, I got a decadent butter bean dish that was wonderfully flavoured, albeit quite oily. The salads were all quite intensely flavoured too, with a broccoli salad that had a nicely horseradish-dominant dressing, a tomato and bell pepper salad that was nicely dressed, and roasted sweet potatoes. Very filling and good value. I was really happy with the food. I capped off the meal with an American (£2.40), which was definitely above average for UK -- seems like the place is run by Italians, so that might be it. Super friendly and helpful staff who kindly pointed out everything that was vegan. All in all, highly recommended spot near the centre and beach.

Today's hot menu offerings were vegetable soup, beef goulash, vege moussaka and Caribbean chicken drumsticks with mash or rice. And then a gorgeous array of 7 fresh salads to compliment your meal. Fresh, fast and tasty! This quiet and cosy restaurant had super lovely staff, and the food was just fantastic. Great little spot for lunch on North Street.

I hate leaving bad reviews but I am worried someone might DIE here…read more I ordered a whisky and after sitting down noticed it had fruit flies in it. I went back to the bartender and he apologized and then offered me another drink. I looked at multiple bottles and ALL of them had flies. I said they needed to throw them away and I would just take a beer. He gave me a beer free and then went outside to hang with my friend. I then watched him pour the bottles through a strainer and then back into the bottles. Not only did they never rinse the glass but didn't rinse the strainer that had the flies in it. So - Do NOT drink any whisky in this place. In fact don't drink any hard liquor in this place. Other bottles had flies but didn't see them "recycling" them. Bartender was very nice and amicable but this place should be shut down. Someone will get sick. No idea if they clean their beer lines or not but just stay away.

Firstly, the people that work here are totally awesome - very chatty and genuine - just the kind of people that you enjoy giving business to. I had a green smoothie and a chicken Bibimbap to go. The smoothie was very green indeed! I loved it, but be warned - this tasted like veggies. It's not one of those healthy smoothies that hides behind sweet, fruity tastes - it fully embraces it's healthiness, rocking the broccoli and spinach unashamedly, so if you don't like your smoothie to taste to 'green' then this one isn't for you! They have plenty of tasty options, so perhaps go for one of the other smoothies insetead! As for the chicken Bibimbap (which I horrendously mispronounced, might I add) this was very tasty! I'd never really had this sort of thing before, so it took me a few minutes to get used to the flavours, but once I got past that it was a very good take-away meal. The portion was massive and they'd packaged it all up really nicely, making it easy to take to a park and eat in the sun without any bother or mess. There were so many other things that I would have happily tried in here! They had amazing looking fresh sushi up for grabs which, though a little pricier than elsewhere, did look rather great. I'm sure that I'll be back here! Next time you're walking past, pop in and see what you think! :)
