Kitchen Garden Cafe | York Road
We can’t think of a better way to spend a lazy weekend in the Heath than by enjoying a leisurely brunch at one of the best places to breakfast in the UK!

Choose from the avocado brunch, kippers with toast and marmalade (trust us, it’s delicious!) and there’s even a vegan full English for all you folk who are giving Veganuary a go. The Guardian recommend the sweet waffles with maple syrup and bacon or fruit – and so do we (but it’s always with bacon for us!!) Read the full article here.
