The Old Greengrocer

North Yorkshire, York - British - Café

Darren and Sarah O’Mahony ran a greengrocer's shop before discovering takeaways sold better than turnips – so they painted the walls a cheery yellow, added tables, nick-nacks, fairy lights and a wood-burning stove. Now it's a popular brunch spot serving the full English as well as Craster kippers, buttermilk waffles, shakshuka and suchlike. Seasonally changing lunches are chalked up above the fireplace, perhaps a rich cauliflower and cheese soup served with chewy Haxby sourdough or gnarly, buttermilk fried chicken between slices of bouncy focaccia with a kick of spicy sriracha and soothing tzatziki. Cakes and tarts are all made in-house, and Sunday lunch promises the full works. Prices hover around a tenner and portions are generous.

I had home cooked ham with asparagus poached eggs, fries and hollandaise. Delicious. Just go, you will not regret it! P.s. great coffee and homemade cakes too, and there's free parking in the car park adjoining the nearby Morris...
