We visited Steel & Grind to extinguish my wife's months-long craving for crepes. Although a sizeable drive for us, the high reviews and appealing menu had us take the plunge. Straight up, I must say that I loved the venue. Smaller in size, it's darker decor, background music, and matching ambience truly struck a chord. I'm not a big fan of light, white and bright, so S & G was a much welcomed change. There's bench seating inside and out, a display cabinet filled with treats, lunch options and drinks and, to my great surprise, a small bar at the back! Service was excellent, both prompt and friendly. I was able to easily engage the owner as he worked, and the staff working inside were lovely as well. No pretence, no pomp, just welcoming and natural interaction. From a meals perspective, we both ordered crepes (traditional lemon & sugar and Nutella & strawberry for my wife, the Dijon chicken for me), along with a flat white and White Smoothie. Everything was excellent and much enjoyed. The robust and strong coffee was given the tick of approval by my wife, while I really liked the smoothie; much lighter and creamier than many others and didn't take up belly space reserved for the crepe. The crepes themselves (and I tried all three) were delicate, flavourful, yet surprisingly filling. For me, it was a nice change to enjoy chicken, cheese, egg, etc., without the addition of heavy breads. In summary, Steel & Grind was 5-star across the board and well worth the drive. I would happily visit them again and recommend them to others. Many thanks.

First time coming here, and my first time having crepes. Absolutely amazing, I ate it so fast I wish I had the space for 2, coffee was smooth and creamy, it was a little quite so the food came out quickly. 10/10 will come again. Quality of food surpasses the generous price point

Such a great cafe! The staff went above and beyond for us, from beginning to end and really made the whole experience special! The coffee was unreal, definitely the best I’ve had in a while and the crepes were honestly amazing - so fresh and full of flavour. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, we’ll definitely be back! Special shout out for your help finding the video footage I needed too! Truly so thankful and appreciative! 10/10 thanks guys!!
