At The Library we endeavor to use certified organic, free-range, sustainable & locally grown or manufactured products where possible. Suppliers must also demonstrate eco-sustainable practices, offer a consistently high quality product & supply at an economically viable price. You will notice that we offer a wide array of food including some that require special care to ensure the health & well being of our guests.  To achieve this we have developed & follow an extensive HACCP & Food Safety Programme. This involves dedicated baking & food preparation equipment & areas to avoid cross contamination. The kitchen, food preparation & serving areas are controlled environments where strict procedures must be followed & are continually monitored to minimize risks. Taking all of this into account, our product does cost us a little more & theoretically, our prices should be higher than average. However, we feel we can offer a deliciously nutritious organically inspired menu that doesn’t cost the earth, or damage it. We hope that one day organic produce & natural products free from harmful additives & colorings will be readily accessible to everyone. So, the way we see it, by supporting companies & individuals who share a similar philosophy this is our way of helping the dream of natural & healthy living become reality! We hope you enjoy your visit & look forward to seeing you again soon.


It’s simple, organic food uses ingredients that are naturally derived from the soil in partnership with nature, free of pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilisers & other synthetic chemicals.  
Here are just some of the reasons why we choose organic:
1. Fresh organic fruit & vegetables have less pesticide residues & additives plus they offer a great source of bio-available vitamins, minerals & enzymes. The health benefits of food produced organically are recognised by the World Health Organisation.
2. Organic agricultural methods are more sustainable & better for the environment. Using crop rotation & good animal husbandry to control pests & diseases instead of artificial fertilisers & pesticides helps to keep our waterways clean, reduce soil loss & degradation & potentially produces less carbon dioxide...


The journey of The Library began in 2004 as the owners prepared for the arrival of their first child. At this time when the health (and happiness) of an expectant mum is so important, simple pleasures such as dining out and takeaway meals present new obstacles where prepared food comes with a degree of risk and uncertainty.Fast forward 9 months or so, and whilst the needs of a nursing Mum and developing baby are appreciated they can so easily be neglected when the desire to eat nutritiously comes second to basic needs such as sleep (and sanity).A year or so later as baby assumes the role of demanding and energetic toddler with an inability to sit still for more than 5 minutes, it is easy to see why many parents do not eat out until their children are at school (although there-in lies a new complexity).However, in the case of the owners of this establishment, like so many other parents in today's society, the simple pleasure of dining out became exceedingly difficult when their newest member of the household presented signs of food allergies and intolerances. It was this personal experience that inspired The Library, somewhere that caters to everyone regardless of age, diet or lifestyle. A place where guests feel welcome and staff enjoy working. Somewhere the ambience is relaxing and the food is nutritious and delicious. A place like no other..
