Breakfast

breakfast

We are a "breakfast restaurant for guests" as opposed to a B & B. Whilst we use local produce, being local in itself is not sufficient – many of our suppliers have won National or Regional recognition. Start the day with a traditional full or part Yorkshire, or try a specialty breakfast developed by Rick Stein, Raymond Blanc, Delia Smith, Gary Rhodes, Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson and Andy Worrall-Thompson. If you are here for a special occasion please let us know and we will present you with a personalised menu to take away.

Please order tea or coffee, place your cooked order then help yourself to the buffet. Tell us when you are ready for more tea/coffee. We cook fresh for you and do NOT possess a microwave. Green is vegetarian.
