“We travelled 150 miles for the breakfast and it was worth every mile!”

We believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that’s why we take the trouble to get it right.  We promise you a brilliant breakfast.  All done in a slow food way with the emphasis on relaxation and enjoyment.  As for the food itself – we offer you nothing but the best.  What we don’t buy from local producers and suppliers, such as bread and preserves, we make ourselves.

“Breakfast heaven”

We collect our eggs fresh from a local farm.  Our breakfast sausages and rare-breed bacon is mostly from Berkshire pigs, home cured (and smoked) by Gordon Tudge and his dedicated family crew.  Their products are renowned in Herefordshire and beyond for their exceptional quality.

As well as the usual organic pasteurised milk, there is a special treat for those who want it – unpasteurised milk.  Real milk as it used to taste!

If you fancy a change from English breakfast, there is our Big Continental (or just a croissant and a coffee, if you prefer).
