Trof
2a Landcross Road
Cheap and Cheerful bar

Trof sits in a side street that's slap bang in the middle of the Fallowfield student district. Streets lined with terrace houses are home to the future academics of the world, and the nearby Owens Park student halls provide hundreds (nay, thousands) of mouths that need feeding. Despite this large catchment market, Trof hasn't gone the pile-it-high-sell-it-cheap route, and instead serves up high-end grub at mid-end prices (with massive portions!). Inside the place is a little on the cramped/small side, but this just adds to the character of the place. The breakfasts are lovingly prepared, and washed down with a mellow coffee are the perfect pick-me-up. The lunches and dinners are rare in this area - quality foods, with enough flare to warrant prices much higher than quoted. Well served, well cooked, and well tasty. Upstairs is a second bar area with a major faux pas - the DJ is sitting down! Never mind, we'll forgive them this one tiny error, and we're guessing that the jockey that night had tired legs.
