Northern Soul

Northern Soul keeps things real with an honest approach to serving and sating. Its understated retro feel comes from industrial lampshades and bamboo-motif wallpaper,while its warm atmosphere is cultivated by friendly owners and hearty home-style food. House-made baked beans come in a thick,dark-red sauce,piled on to pumpkin-seed toast with a dollop of creamy goat’s curd. Mint tea,served in a pot swaddled in a knitted tea cosy,is a soothing addition. At lunch,there’s a changing roster of pies,such as Cajun beef;plus Malaysian-style pumpkin dhal,infused with lemongrass and served with roti.
