A week at NANA

I've been spending the week filling in for my friend Katie, who started up NANA - a comfort food cafe run by older women from the community. Currently run through The Elderfield pub on Elderfield Road (which is a lovely pub with delightful owners, if you are in the area, definitely stop in for a drink in the evening!), the cafe offers up food that reminds you of sitting in your nana's kitchen - dippy eggs and fish finger sandwiches, victoria sponge and treacle tarts, and bottomless cups of tea and coffee served in old china. It's a delightful place with a good heart and I hope it has a long future.

The main cliental at the moment are mums and babies, which makes for the ultimate inter-generational environment, without seeming forced or contrived. So if you are in Lower Clapton and looking for a bit of comfort, NANA is the place to be.
