Comfort food galore, no frills.

Arches Cafe is your down-to-earth British caff that serves comfort food straight from the heart. It’s like walking into your nan’s kitchen, but with fewer cats. Andy describes it as a tucked-away gem, and who doesn’t love a bit of railway arch charm? The food is solid, the service warm, and the brickwork interior adds just the right amount of cozy vibes.

Sebastian did point out the chips could be crunchier, but let’s be honest, it’s not a Michelin star place—it’s all about the hearty breakfasts and that nostalgic feel. With a family-run vibe and quick service, this place is perfect for a greasy spoon pick-me-up or a full English that feels like a hug. Just don’t expect to Instagram your plate; it’s more about satisfaction than presentation.
