About Cafe Strange Brew

Brunch here is the kind that gets talked about — expect a queue at weekends, sometimes a long one, so a weekday visit with children is the smarter call. Inside is clean and pleasant to sit in, with high chairs, buggy access and a kids' menu, plus free parking nearby. Portions are big enough that adults can ask for a half portion, which also solves the problem of a child who'll only eat off your plate. The harissa hummus toast is the standout, and the pancakes with summer berries get described in near-reverent terms; the Stornoway black pudding is worth ordering too. Mains run roughly £12–18. Service stays quick and genuinely warm even when the room is rammed, and staff greet you with a smile — one visitor called it "a tremendous experience".
