The best breakfast in the UK... comes from Margate!

Bus Cafe wins big at Breakfast and Brunch Awards!

The Bus Cafe in Margate zoomed off with the main prize at last night’s National Breakfast and Brunch Awards. Chef Simon Lindley, who only competed after replacing an ill colleague at the last moment, claimed the title of Breakfast of the Year and £1,000 in prize money for his posh hash creation.

The team took to social media to say: “WE BLOODY WON!!!!! WE'RE OFFICIALLY THE BEST BREAKFAST IN THE UK!!!!!

“Love to everyone who competed it was really a tough one this year!”

Lindley, who also went home with an award last year, won the big one this time with a dish that comprised a homemade dairy- and gluten-free beetroot, potato and onion rostie, topped with zesty smashed broad beans and peas, a mumbled egg, oak smoked salmon and horseradish cream, all on a bed of leafy greens with a balsamic glaze drizzle. The Darwin and Wallace small chain of bars and Tried and True café in south west London came second and third respectively.
