Higher Ground
Higher Ground sits somewhere between the worlds of cafe and restaurant, serving innovative meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
At dinner time the venue gets a little more serious, with delicious mains and a short but well-chosen wine list.
The venue extends over three levels, with seating at tables, bars, sofas and easy chairs, and plenty of nooks to hide away in.
