At Oppidan you can just turn up get some work done at the same time meet and network with others who work like you do.

Potty Kitchen. The minute you step in, the bright yellow dresser and natty collection of mis matched crockery you know this is a place full of cheery character as well as smashing crumpets and belly filling jacket potatoes. The art installation too that takes pride of place is a real conversation piece, however beware if your decide to ask the owner about it you might not get back to work in time, he loves it and loves to tell you all about it. For those who are not having to watch the clock, then in summer sitting outside with toasted teacakes with Manchester passing by is an entertainment all in it's self.
