We love the selection of local produce, artisan cheeses and cured meats at ALCHEMY Cafe & Providore to be found on the western road over the bridge. Our tip is to phone ahead and order a ploughman's lunch to take home to the Repose and enjoy with a glass of wine. Or makes sure you experience their wood fired pizza for lunch or dinner on Thursdays - Saturday.
