Well, this place is a find and a half. A bit like stepping into a Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall programme crossed with an episode of Antiques Roadshow, this fine little eaterie in the envrions of a bonkers high-class scrap yard is a treasure. Not venturing near Thame very often, I was on a spa break nearby, hungry and also bargain-hunting (having just moved house and seeking furniture). The kind of bargains here weren't for me, though, since their speciality is architectural salvage (pergolas, huge doors, fireplaces, porticos, stone lions) - mostly big pieces at big prices. But it sure is nice to sit in and gawk at whilst eating cake, listening to an indie-folk soundtrack. And it's not just cake either: their menu is small but perfectly formed, with lovingly-made little dishes at acceptable prices, and the extraordinarily civilised hours of 9am-12pm for brunch and noon-3.30pm for lunch. I had some delicious vegetarian quiche, brownie and coffee. Oh - and because I was kind of on holiday, a glass of prosecco :) Which reminds me: they have a very fine wine list. If you're a Jacobs and Field, Isis Farmhouse kind of person, check Lassco out - you'll love it.
