Higher Ground

  • Cafe
  • Restaurant

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.
