Unfortunately it was a day we had made sandwiches so I rather moodily stomped down to the river to eat them dreaming about how nice an hour at Cabosse would have been. So, when we wanted something of a light bite for lunch while we were wandering around the town over New Year, I had no shame in strong arming our party to the front door and pushing them in.

Cabosse is in two main sections; a front little shop area where you can purchase the likes of sandwiches, quiches, cakes and chocolates for take away, or you can enter into the room behind where there is a small cafe with probably about 15 covers. At 2pm we were lucky to find the place almost empty; five minutes later people were being turned away.

There was a small but perfectly formed menu with a choice of savoury; sandwiches or filled croissants. Ham seemed to loom large on the menu which was a nuisance as neither my beloved nor I will touch the stuff, but a nip back to the counter revealed a rather nice brie and salad filled croissant. It arrived with some crisps a side salad, and beetroot chutney (which would have been lovely if I didn't hate the smell of beetroot) which was thoughtfully served in a separate bowl so I could quickly move it from under my nose.

Although the place is licensed to sell alcohol, it felt more like a place for coffee and my beloved enjoyed her milky example. Our food arrived pretty quickly although the staff seemed to be on a bit of a flap as others diners arrived. After what I thought of as something of a snackette I found myself pretty full of brie and croissant, so I almost regretted that I had ordered the chocolate and almond tart. I say "almost" as it was wonderful; I particularly liked the chocolate which is made in the shop. My 3 fellow diners were also happy to help me out.

The meal for the two of us came to £16 and service was friendly and attentive. My only grumble was that the dining room itself had been arranged for maximum chairs and tables and it felt rather cramped. We had to walk a rather circular loop to escape but we were generally pleased we got lucky and had sat in a corner table a little out of the way of the main melee.
