Just around the corner in Camden Road and easily walk-able from the Fernery is Vittle and Swig. We love this place for the atmosphere and a menu that absolutely delights. Their brunch menu is great value and Sunday lunch here is a must. Definitely recommend booking T: 01892 544522 E: general@vittleandswig.co.uk
