One reviewer wrote: “Sending a big well done and thank you to the staff at Exchange Coffee. Today my Sister and Brother in law got married and had an afternoon tea reception in the 1849 private dining room. It was a very friendly and intimate atmosphere in the beautiful and tasteful historic dining room attached to Exchange Coffee. The cakes and sandwiches were delicious and the staff took care of us wonderfully. I highly recommend Exchange for any small celebrations.”

Great beer, great service and great food. I had the club sandwich and a mate had a ham sandwich. Both came with amazing triple-cooked chips. Sat outside in the Sun. Lovely welcoming barstaff. Highly recommended.”
