Secondhand book lounge
Shelves wrap the café — take a title to your table with coffee and cake. Well-behaved dogs are welcome.
What’s on the shelves
A living mix, not a catalogue
Stock turns with donations and finds. We don’t take online orders for books — come in, browse, and leave a little lighter or a little heavier.
Fiction & crime
Paperbacks for the train home, hardbacks for the armchair, and a rotating crime corner.
Cookery & baking
From heritage baking to modern free-from ideas — naturally a favourite wall in the shop.
Lincolnshire & local
Village histories, walking guides, and books with a Lincolnshire spine.
Children’s corner
Picture books and early readers — please return titles to the low shelf when you’re done.
Biography & memoir
Lives well told, for long Sunday mornings with a flat white.
Donate a bag
Clean, saleable paperbacks and hardbacks gratefully received on quieter weekdays — ask at the counter.
How it works
Browse, buy, linger
Prices are marked inside the cover. Pay at the counter with your coffee order. We’re a café first — the books are here so you can stay awhile, not rush through a queue.
