The Breakfast Menu
As a trained and experienced chef, Penny is excited by food and this is why the Breakfast menu changes daily with healthy options and naughty treats.
We have both savoury and sweet daily specials such as Eggs Benedict with Crisp Bacon and Avocado or Plum and Pecan Waffles with lashings of maple syrup. Of course, there are some firm favourites which are available every day such as crunchy home-made Granola, Mixed nuts in Lemon Honey to spoon over Natural Gernsry Milk Yogurt and of course, a full English breakfast including the classics: Locally dry cured bacon, succulent sausages, home baked fried bread, oven roasted tomatoes, juicy Portobello mushrooms, black pudding, and free-range eggs, made any way you like, fresh from the neighbour’s chickens. An equally delicious vegetarian Full English is also available, with Homemade Baked Beans, Griddled Avocado, Sautéed Potatoes, Portobello Mushrooms, Oven Baked Tomatoes, and Eggs as you like them! We are happy to cater to your dietary requirements, ensuring that everyone can have a delicious breakfast!
