Visit the Castle Cafe that is part of the castle redevelopment – offers extremely well-regarded brunches and lunches with a view. The sausages come highly recommended! The Natural Foods Bakery down the road serves excellent sandwiches, cake and coffee. Or if you’re there on a Sunday, graze at the farmers market in the square.
