Acomb's old GreenGrocer makes a good food guide

Acomb's old Green Grocer has been praised for its branch and “generous” part, and is branded as a “local gem.”

The cafe was run by Darren and Sarah O'Mahony and ran a Green Gloser shop on York Road.

The venue is extremely popular, with Google awarding 4.8 stars out of 5 based on 145 reviews.

In a review of Good Food Guide, the couple “discovered that Takeaways sells better than turnips, so they drew cheerful yellow, nicknacks, fairy lights and wood stoves on the walls.

“Now it is a popular brunch spot offering full English language, such as Crester Kipper, Buttermilk Waffles and Shakshka.

“Seasonally changing lunches are chalked up on the fireplace, perhaps with rich cauliflower and cheese soup served with chewy Huxbee sourdough or buttermilk fried chicken, between slices of focaccia, bouncy with spicy sriracha and sewing tuzatsiki kicks.

“The cakes and tarts are all made in-house and Sunday lunches promise a complete piece.

“Prices float around the tenor and the portions are generous.”

The couple then posted on social media. “One more milestone… we are proud to be included in @goodfoodguideuk.

“Thank you to our small team and all our customers over the past seven years.”
