FOOD & DR INK
CAFÉ FOY With a prime location on Quayside, Café Foy is a lovely spot for brunch with a gaggle of friends, especially on a sunny day when you can snap up a table outside overlooking the river. It may only have been open since last spring, but this pretty cafe has become a favourite with foodies for its epic toasties and luxury Scotch eggs. For brunch, you can keep it virtuous with home-made granola, or indulge with a grilled ham and cheese croissant. There’s also scrambled eggs on toast with sausages from Radmore Farm, plus smashed avocado on toast with grilled halloumi. A mimosa will set you back £4, or there are Bloody Marys for £6 a piece. Those in possession of a student card can take advantage of a brunch for £10 deal which includes eggs on toast with salmon or eggs on toast with bacon and sausage, with either a Bloody Mary or a mimosa.

THE PETERSFIELD There’s a lot to love about The Petersfield, with its cosy decor, welcoming atmosphere, abundance of board games and suntrap courtyard. From 11am to 4pm, Saturdays are all about brunch and bubbles – with the option for adding bottomless prosecco to your brekkie dish of choice for £19.95. Food- wise, tuck into smoked salmon bagels, poached eggs on English muffins, bubble and squeak with haddock – the stacks of buttermilk pancakes are unmissable too. There’s usually a lively atmosphere at this Sturton Street pub come Saturday afternoon, so you’ll be tempted to stay and continue indulging but if you’re after a change of scenery, mosey up the road for a pint at Calverley’s Brewery.
