Breakfast at No. 1 Polsloe

Thursday 12 March 2015


Now that I've got your attention with a big fat picture of bacon on pancakes, I'd like to introduce you to your new favourite hangover hangout.

No. 1 Polsloe is, surprisingly, right on the corner of Polsloe Road (opposite Henry's and Beer Box). It used to be known as the Living Room but reopened with a new name and a slightly new image.

I headed inside one bright Saturday morning to see what they offer.



Inside was bustling, with every table full. We managed to grab one as some others were leaving and settled into our seats. The wonderful smell of breakfast and the happy chatter of the customers filled the warm air.

And it's no wonder they were so happy. Just look at these prices!


Now surely somewhere that cheap can't be that good? Surely the portions are tiny? Or the food is bland and stale tasting? Think again!

Strawberry milkshake £2.50


Crumpets with butter £1.50


Croissant with butter £1.50


Breakfast sarnie with added egg £3.50
(Just look at those doorstop slices! And that oozing butter! And the fresh eggs! And the bacon!)


Pancakes with honey and Greek yoghurt (sans banana) £3.00


And of course those naughty bacon pancakes we started with that cost only £3.50. 

Now if that's not the perfect pitstop after a heavy night out, I don't know what is!

You can enjoy your food in a casual atmosphere (although you might be jostling for a table at peak times!) Luckily we caught the tail end of breakfast and watched as the cafe slowly emptied out until we were the last ones left (I can eat a lot. I had the crumpets and the banana pancakes, not pictured).
