If you fancy a big fry up or perfectly fluffy pancakes then you should definitely head to the Diner; a classic American. They serve breakfast all day which includes plenty of pancakes with blueberries, bananas and lashings of maple syrup or butterscotch sauce. Try the sweet potato pancakes, a breakfast burrito or eggs served benedict, royal or florentine style. If you fancy a massive breakfast opt for the ‘Hungry Man’ with bacon, sausages, eggs, mushrooms, beans, hash browns and toast. They also have a brunch burger which contains a 6oz burger with bacon, pancakes, fried egg, cheese, syrup and hollandaise sauce. Other delights include the Mexican breakfast pan, French toast and waffles.

This is a gay music venue by night which serves a good breakfast-brunch during the day. The surroundings are a cross between a New York diner and a disco. All day brunch typically includes scrambled eggs on toast with extras like avocado, bacon, smoked salmon or black pudding. They serve a selection of burgers and the fries come seasoned with smoked paprika, delicious. Wash your nosh down with an Allpress coffee, bottle of beer or Bloody Mary.
