At the end of August 1996 Lucy’s on a Plate opened. Initially to compliment the shop as a Tearoom, (we started with a domestic cooker and a kettle – by the end of the first week we could afford another kettle!) however, it quickly evolved into being so much more, changing the Daily Specials twice a day in order to accommodate daytime and evening custom (the daytime menu is very eclectic and embraces a whole range of ‘styles’ at affordable prices using fresh ingredients all put together in our own kitchens).

The concept for Lucy’s was and still is, to create somewhere that is both relaxing, informal and slightly different – no CHIPS – other than those you may find in the well-used and loved crockery! A place that is welcoming for everyone – families, couples, friends and individuals, to pass the time chatting, eating, drinking and reading the papers and playing games, whilst having no restriction on what you have or when (Occasionally on the busier days we restrict the menu for a short while purely to give the kitchen a breather! – but always at a time when Lucy Four is open as well, so there’s no escape!!).

The lovely walled courtyard at the back is a real haven in fine weather especially as we have outdoor heaters for when the evenings get a little chillier! The Conservatory is a very welcome new addition and seats an additional thirty plus guests.
