Fairy lights, covered by parasols and with plenty of booths for larger group get-togethers

Dine in the eclectic, neon-lit interior, or step through the archway into a cosy, wind-sheltered courtyard – A Nation of Shopkeepers offers you the best of both worlds. Adorned with fairy lights, covered by parasols and with plenty of booths for larger group get-togethers, the eclectic outdoor space earns its nickname of ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’.

Serving food from lunch to dinner, the restaurant has something for everyone; tender, succulent chicken, meat-free treats, pizzas and nachos, bottomless brunch, all day breakfasts, quality pub grub and towering, juicy burgers. There’s a great selection of local craft beers on offer too, as well as wines, spirits, and a creative list of cocktails.

Make yourself at home surrounded by brilliant art and music

On the main menu, you’ll find bar snacks like beef shin croquettes and artichoke arancini, small sharing plates of calamari and miso chicken skewers, and larger mains like beer-battered haddock and chips, chicken schnitzel, a classic Parmesan-covered Caesar salad, and British outdoor-bred Cumberland sausages with mash. As for pudding, keep it classic with one of the house favourites: sticky toffee pudding, or a triple chocolate brownie.

Whether you’re looking for a chilled spot for a lazy afternoon drink or somewhere to get your groove on at the weekend, we love A Nation of Shopkeepers’ welcoming, laid back atmosphere. You can make yourself at home surrounded by brilliant art and music, while tucking into some delectable treats.
