The Skinny Kitten is a café situated on the main street that runs through the picturesque village…read moreof Barton under Needwood. As you enter the café appears to be very small, but it is actually split up into many different small rooms, all adorned with an eclectic mix of ornaments, books, old wooden tennis racquets etc. It really does have a unique and relaxed feel to it. There are tables suitable for large groups or smaller parties; we prefer the round tables, as they make it easier to socialise in a group. Everything is made to order at Skinny Kitten, so relax because the food and drink are worth the weight. The staff are very enthusiastic, and are keen to ensure that whatever you order is just right for you, often giving you a multitude of options for breads, fillings etc. The menu is comprehensive, with a great variety of breakfast and lunchtime dishes. We've only ever been for lunch, but sampling the breakfast menu is good excuse for going back. We opted to share a CBLT, chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomato, which came warm with freshly cooked bacon, and a dressed salad. Rarely I have tasted such a fresh and flavoursome sandwich, a real triumph, more than enough for two. The americano and cappuccino packed a real caffeine hit too, but mellow and not bitter to the taste, and the accompanying homemade carrot cake, was generous and tasty, if a little sweet. We will return, very soon!
