What to expect
Both series of the hilarious and heart-warming comedy drama set in an Edinburgh café
Arty free spirit Trisha returns to her native city of Edinburgh after years of living in London. Although she is coping with the loss of her job and a bruised heart, she arrives at Waverley Station enthusiastic and eager for the next chapter of her life to begin. Meanwhile, Trisha's big sister Clare could not be more different. A non-practising qualified accountant, she has been married for years, has two spoiled teenage children and has probably spent too much time on the school PTA. Together, they decide to open a new café in leafy Bruntsfield, which marks the beginning of a whole new era for both sisters.
Throw in temperamental opera-loving Polish chef, Krzysztof and uninvited waitress, Lizzie, and you have the perfect recipe for volatile relationship tension, a lot of laughs and a few secrets for good measure.
