<h3 class="wp-block-heading">LOCATION</h3>



Nosh-stalgia is slap bang in the middle of Wells, England&#8217;s smallest city, just off the Union Street car park – could it be any more convenient?



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">THE VIBE</h3>



Chilled out cafe-bar-bistro with a quirky, retro feel.

The chef and co-owner Leigh Say&#8217;s eclectic collection of vintage mirrors, signs, toys and other fascinating bits and bobs are on the walls, hanging from the ceiling and generally all around you.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SCOFF &amp; QUAFF</h2>



Open for breakfast, lunch/brunch, coffee and cakes as well as dinner. Like the decor, the constantly changing menu is also eclectic, reflecting Leigh&#8217;s culinary background which has taken him all over the world, from Somerset to the Far East, collecting a bunch of AA rosette certificates of merit for culinary excellence along the way. The menu focuses on fresh, seasonal produce from the West Country and beyond, so you get dishes like Exmouth mussels; cuttlefish, prawn mango and coconut linguine; Bath-reared Ashdale beefburgers; and Norwegian sea trout (which is what I had). There&#8217;s an element of retro in the menu too, so expect things like traditional beef lasagne alongside the beetroot arancini.



Working from the top of the tower down: a crispy fried poached egg (with a perfectly runny, deep yellow yolk) was perched on softly flaking Fijord sea trout gravalax, atop an Ogleshield cheese and potato rosti, and all sitting in the greenest of pea velouté. Delicious.

Desserts are moreish. The polenta, orange and almond pudding (not sickly sweet), with a aromatic rosemary syrup, ruby chocolate ice cream topped with a spectacular glass &#8216;flame&#8217; made it into my Instagram feed as well a my stomach.
