Brogan’s

What a lovely café! I have walked by a number of times, but only stopped in very recently. Inside, the café is lovely with a sort of country chic. There are two floors of seating, so if you cannot find a place on the ground floor, don’t fret. The menu is on a large chalkboard to the right of the entrance. My only criticism of the place has to do with the menu… and the fact that it seems to be a bit difficult for the elderly customers that were coming in. The menu is quite vast, which is great, but it does mean that in order to get everything on the chalkboard, the writing can be a bit difficult to read. Maybe if they had some printed ones, that might help, especially as the ladies that were sitting at the table under the menu looked a bit fed up with people standing above them.
Anyway, like I said, the menu is extensive and offers something for everyone. There are breakfast options, sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes, and salads. There is also a children’s menu as well as cakes and other sweets in the display next to the till. The cakes looked wonderful and with titles like Naughty Chocolate Cake, they are probably pretty good too! A menu of drinks (cold and hot) are above the till to the left of the food menu.
I decided to go with the Brogan’s Fish and Chips: Fish Finger Sandwich because I haven’t had one in ages! You order and pay at the till, and then they give you a number to place on the table so your order can be brought to you. Before you find a seat, you will want to visit the utensils and condiments area. I didn’t realize that they had this and the guy who brought my food out was kind enough to bring me some utensils and condiments!
There is free wifi and the access code is on the front of the till, so you may want to make note of it while you place your order. There is a range of seating and it would probably be a nice place for a small group lunch. My sandwich was lovely with crisp fish fingers with lettuce, and mayo on two slices of Granary Bread. It also comes with a heaping helping of chunky chips, coleslaw, and salad with an Italian dressing. In fact, the helping of chips was so large, that there were still quite a few on the plate when I admitted defeat.
Depending on what you order, you can easily have an inexpensive lunch/​breakfast or you can have something a little more pricey. My meal, plus a bottle of Pomegranate and Elderflower Bottled Green, came to just under 10 quid. And for the amount of food and quality of food, I would say it is a great value! Cannot wait to go back and try the Naughty Chocolate Cake :)
