Earth is part of the Buddhist Centre, so is a place of peace and contemplation. It is decorated in a simple, minimalist style but there's nothing cold about the atmosphere - especially in the snug poetry corner. The service is canteen style, with the emphasis on mixing and matching from a menu that is different and fresh every day. The soups are generally very good from light to hearty. The Chef's Special combination of a main dish, side dish and two salads offers a well-balanced meal and great value for money (would have to disagree with Niggle's 'not cheap' comment - also recently extended opening hours). The jacket potatoes are cooked to fluffy perfection. Of particular note are the juices, smoothies and shakes. Less than 15 each. Occasional photography and painting exhibitions. Children very welcome. Partial disabled access.
