Visited for the 1 for 1 all day breakfast deal and tried the savoury pancakes and eggs royale. The savoury pancakes had good baked beans, bacon and berry compote, but anything that didn’t start with ‘b’ wasn’t great. The pancakes tasted a little stale like those prepackaged Marks & Spencer’s bakes.
The eggs royale was the typical poached eggs on muffin with hollandaise and a side of salad. The poached eggs were done well but the smoked salmon was fishy and harkened back to the staleness of the pancakes. Appreciated the amount of hollandaise but the eggs were a tad overdressed with it. Unlike the eggs, the salad was completely naked. There was no dressing and the arugula was just bitter and, guess what, stale. We really appreciated the complimentary water because we needed it (though it’s freshness could be questioned because when we got to the table there were already two glasses of water prepared.)
The coffee is on the acidic side so if you enjoy bitter-sour coffee this one’s for you. We recommend sticking to the basic brews because we had the ice manuka and dirty coffee. That’s it.
We were served by a young server, Lokesh, and he was so attentive and polite (even more so than the more experienced staff). We really appreciated his service and he made our experience much better.
