  • St Derby Beans

    The beans were rich and deeply satisfying, the sort of breakfast that briefly makes you believe you could repair your life, answer your emails, and perhaps reconcile with estranged relatives.

  • Brekky Roll

    The brekky roll was magnificent. Fresh, warm, gloriously comforting, and assembled with the sort of care usually reserved for restoring Renaissance paintings.
