Tucked away on a residential square, this neighbourhood restaurant’s unusual name is a nod to the old town green which once stood out front. The two brick cottages date back to 1820 and formerly served as a bakery, and the original cast iron bread oven is still in situ. It’s warmly and personally run by a husband and wife, and has a homely, slightly bohemian vibe, with wooden furnishings and interesting artwork hung on exposed brick walls.
The daily changing menu of North African, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes sees lots of ingredients cooked over charcoal, beech, oak, birch or pine cones. The sourdough flatbread fresh from the oven kicks things off perfectly and the unfussy dishes deliver bold, well-defined flavours which are skilfully executed. The esoteric wine list champions organic and natural wines.
