Sticking with the quick lunch theme, I thought I'd try somewhere other than Coffee Traders for a change.
The atmosphere bites. Not because of the crowd, but because the interior reminded me of my school canteen - yuck.
Apart from that, it's a good find. The service is haphazard but very friendly - it's the North, what do you expect. The food is decent, especially the Goats Cheese and Ratatouille Tart (Christmas special).
The Mulberry tree offers the usual Coffee Shop selection of sandwiches, jacket potatoes and solid, sturdy meals like burgers and chips, bangers and mash and roast chicken.
I was mildly impressed to see that the Vegetarian options were just about enough; a couple in the Jackets section, a handful in the Sandwiches and a fair sprinkling in the Christmas Menu - can anyone say baked Brie and Cranberry?! Off course you can, so order it.
My latte was surprisingly excellent quality; fresh and not at all bitter. Usually I need a touch of sugar in my coffee but this latte was more than fine without it.
I'm not sure it will take me away from Coffee Traders, but The Mulberry Tree definitely put up a good fight.
Price: Approximately £28.00 for 2 drinks, 4 mains and service charge.
