Wallace & Co, Gregg’s restaurant, opened in January 2010 – with the objective of providing the best local, seasonal fruit and vegetables on a plate. And with the motto – ‘what’s great right now’ – that’s exactly what you get.

Most of the produce is grown at Secrett’s Farm in Surrey, where their restaurant supply business, Secrett’s Direct is based. The restaurant stocks a small selection of that produce in the café, so during the day, customers can browse and buy fresh and often unusual produce (brown tomatoes and white carrots!) – plus much of the café menu is available to take away.
