Nice brunch, lovely eggs Benedict on a really soft and fluffy muffin. The place is a bit on the small side, but has a cozy vibe to it. I also find the open kitchen to be a nice and honest touch. Friendly service and good price. The music builds a nice atmosphere.
Gutted we couldn't try the pecan pie, but the cheesecake... dear Lord, amazing experience.

We had a generous plate of manchego cheese (with a rather mean portion of quince) plus some gorgeous bread with oil, and a plate of speck with piquillo pepper. It confirmed how right I was to fall in love with the bar the first time, and Mr and Mrs Sager and Wilde were excellent hosts as before.

My friend and decided to meet there for a late lunch on the last bank holiday afternoon to check it out. Lunch specials are written on the blackboard inside and we were both attracted to the two dishes featuring avocado. In the end, Alison got the smashed avocado with feta and poached eggs on sourdough, and I had the harissa chicken and avocado sandwich. Other options included truffled mushrooms on toast, butternut squash, and a variety of cooked breakfasts.
We also had a cheeky spritz to go with it – Campari for her, Aperol for me.
The food arrived and we were both more than happy with our choices, although I admit, after having a forkful of Alison’s combination, I felt I'd chosen the slightly inferior dish. Her poached eggs were perfect – oozing thick yolk over the creamy avocado, and the feta gave it all a salty tang to it that was very agreeable.
I did enjoy my sandwich as well though. Delicious sourdough held together the strips of chicken and avocado, of which there was a generous amount. The chicken was soft and the harissa was more than just a token description.
Our spritzes were a little on the small side but were a perfect choice if I do say so myself for a spring day.
All in all this is a perfect little local, and I would like to come back in the evening to try some of their bistro cooking.
