The Blue Chair

The Blue Chair might be the cutest little café I’ve visited so far. More for a full meal than just a sandwich but well worth a trip. It’s on the main High Street but you forget this as soon as you enter as it almost transports you to a different place.

The music is very calm and helps create the completely relaxed atmosphere within the café. It feels as if you are just at home not actually out for lunch. The mismatched décor adds a quirky vibe while the bright tablecloths and plants in inspirational mugs help to brighten your day. This place is just about perfect for any occasion – toys and board games for children, tables suitable for a coffee while students study or you could even just spend your time watching the fish in the fish tank.

We were welcomed in by the friendliest employee who seemed extremely accommodating, offering us the chance to mix up any of our orders to allow for any veggie/vegan needs (next blog is going to be a trip to an all vegan café so keep an eye out if that interests you). The menu isn’t huge but what is on offer is incredibly varied – from baked potatoes to quesadillas to noodle soup.

I chose the mac and cheese (even this came with many variations) with tomato, olives and ham. This was served with either a side salad or chips. Obviously I went for chips, a girl can never turn down chips. This was absolutely delicious and I didn’t leave a single thing on my plate. The food did take a while to arrive but since there was only one employee this was completely forgivable and her sociable attitude more than made up for it.

I had such a lovely experience at The Blue Chair that I would happily return for dinner the very same day.
