Rye and Soda
Rye and Soda calls itself an ‘Anglo-American brunch café by day,’ serving up American classics like pancakes with bacon and maple syrup as well as Scottish and British dishes such as the smoked haddock omelette. Diners who crave something bubbly instead of coffee or tea can add a glass of Piper-Heidsieck champagne to their meal for just a £5 surcharge.

The Boozy Cow
Be prepared to get messy at burger and cocktail joint The Boozy Cow as there are no plates and cutlery here. Devour dishes like the maple bacon cheeseburger, hotdogs, buffalo chicken wings or a popcorn chicken salad. Those with an competitive streak are encouraged to try The Chilli Challenge. See if you can manage to scoff down one chilli cheeseburger, one chilli dog, one portion of chill cheese fries and an Oreo milkshake in 15 minutes. If you succeed, you’ll get the meal for free and your name on the Hall Of Fame. Lose, and the only thing you’ll taste is the bitterness of defeat.
