Really fab service – my hairdresser Mark really cared about getting the colour of my hair right and advising me on what would work best – he even offered to add darker colour for free after the colour he added didn’t come out dark enough for his taste! I’d been wanting to go blonde eventually so he took a cutting to test bleach on it and rang me an hour later to tell me what had happened and what I should do next.

The salon is lovely and the wash basin chairs have a massage machine built in! Very nice surprise…

My last (local) hairdresser was rubbish so having discovered this place via a Groupon offer I’ll definitely make the short tube journey to go there again!

The food is pricey but delicious, the service is terrible.

The staff seem to be more concerned with their own conversations than being attentive to customers and they really don't go out of their way to get you to buy their products.

They have two great dishes every day - the vegetable lasagne and the aubergine parmagiana (however once I went in sometime after 1pm and it wasn't out of the oven yet!?) as well as a different soup and a few different salads every day, as well as quiche and vegetable tortilla and creative main dishes. All vegetarian or vegan. Reasonably healthy although very tasty so must contain oils or cheese sometimes! They use great health foods though - nuts and seeds and quinoa and all those sorts of great things that people who work long hours don't have time to work into their diets!

They also sell sandwiches and gluten-free flour and organic beauty products and supplements and all those kinds of health food shop items. It's fairly well stocked. They also have a mailing list where they send recipes and updates - not too often so not at all spammy. About once a month.

To sum up, they have a captive audience of sorts - the yummy mummies of Northcote Road don't care about price so they just buy things there anyway (it's the only shop of its sort in the road) and even I will just keep going back (when I can afford it) to buy lunch as the food is so great! A reluctant recommendation I suppose...

Beware, £5 limit when paying by card.
