The Hyndland Café

The 2012 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.

Hyndland Café is the kind of local café that could entice you to move if you’re not already within its reach. This is the classic all-day-breakfast diner but done with charm, a cosy ambience, and a welcome streak of individuality. It’s hard not to feel snug while sitting in one of the wooden booths and contemplating a menu packed full of hearty fare involving the classic bacon, egg, and black pudding options. Sandwiches, burgers, lasagne, and macaroni cheese are also on offer for those who’ve managed to snap out of morning mode. At weekends the café offers a delivery service for customers nursing hangovers – a rescue service that even comes complete with a sachet of Resolve. This loving, considerate attitude comes through in the baking too, with cakes freshly baked daily by lead chef Amanda Cooper and also available to order.

• High point: Cosy atmosphere
• Low point: Hard to get a seat at weekends
