IT'S more in keeping with a Michelin-starred restaurant in the countryside than a cafe slap bang in the middle of a Hull housing estate.
But it appears customers of the The Orchard Community Space and Cafe can't get enough of tasty, organic produce grown on their doorstep.
Now, residents who help run the Rainbow Community Garden, in Levisham Close, off Endike Lane, are stepping up food production.
A range of fruit and vegetables are being grown in the garden, including mixed leaf lettuce, tomatoes, rhubarb, potatoes, kale, onions and garlic.
Jeanie Webster, coordinator of the garden set up 13 years ago by a group of residents with a passion for gardening, says the fare is proving a hit.
She said: "Everybody always comments on how good the food is that's grown in the garden.
"We started a very small vegetable patch a few years ago, but it has really taken off."
The produce has become so popular, regular themed nights are being held at the cafe, giving staff the opportunity to tickle the tastebuds of customers with an even greater range of culinary delights.
James Pickering, chef manager of the cafe, said: "It's become a real talking point on the estate. People are intrigued.
"The best part is that the staff here never know what the people from the Rainbow garden will bring from one day to the next.
"I arrived here from a large organisation where food came pre-packed, so it's a real change and a challenge at the same time, having to think up what to do with these ingredients. The quality is excellent and people love the fact that it's grown just up the road."
Meanwhile, trustees of the garden have recently been awarded �4,030 from the Big Lottery Fund to pay for its latest project – Befriend A Bug.
Mrs Webster said: "As well as being a place to grow things, the garden is also about wildlife preservation.
"We want young people across the HU6 postcode to care for wildlife.
"The lottery money we have just been awarded will be used to install information boards about insects and build insect houses, which will be known as 'bug hotels'."
Some of the cash will also be used to hire a woodwork tutor, said Mrs Webster.
Classes will be held for young people, so they can learn about insects and pick up some handy woodwork skills.
During the Easter school break, three sessions will be held, with further classes planned for the summer holidays.
Mrs Webster said the Rainbow Community Garden has come on leaps and bounds since it was awarded charity status eight years ago.
She said: "People come to the garden for different reasons.
"Some come just to relax, they might not have a garden of their own.
"We also allow people to take cuttings fore their own gardens and we will give away any spare seeds we have."
