Food is provided by "Persian inspired" caterers [http://www.zardosht.co.uk/cafe-oto/ Zardosht], and as of July 2018 is available noon-4pm Mon-Fri and 10:30am-4pm Sat. In July 2018, [[Kake]] tried the braised chickpeas with kale, tomato, olive oil, and soft boiled egg served on hummus with warm flatbread (£9.50) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/43610566371/ photo]</small>. They asked me if a poached egg would be OK instead of a boiled one; this turned out to have been poached in the stew, and I'm not entirely sure I got a whole one. The stew was fine, though there was very little kale in evidence; the most prominent vegetable was thin-skinned red peppers, and there was also some very nice charred onion that I wished there had been more of. The serving style, on a bed of decent enough hummus, worked well. The bread was mostly fine, but the thinner parts had been over-grilled and were hard and chewy. Overall, it felt a pound or two overpriced for what it was. Accessibility: No steps to get in. The tables inside are fairly widely spaced. There's a step to the gents', but it's step-free to the ladies' and accessible toilets.
