There is something awfully civilised about Sunday brunch.
Good company is, of course obligatory, but what I most desire when I decide to spend precious time away from café life is a charming setting, exceptional quality and service that is neither intrusive nor lazy.
The Summerhouse is set by the river, is refreshingly spacious and rather elegant.
The menu, simple and well thought out had some nice touches, suitable for both the health conscious and for the likes of me, a devoted carnivore with no desire to leave out any food group.
Both of us opted for the full English; (£16.50) sausages, award winning bacon, black pudding, mushroom, tomatoes, beans, two eggs and toast.
Well, all I can and must say is chapeau bas to you Summerhouse. I’ve spent many hours in various states of depression over breakfast in supposedly up market eateries, only to feel utterly ripped off.
The plate shone with quality and attention to detail. Gorgeous sausages, Ramsey bacon, meaty mushrooms and flavoursome tomatoes. The bread was outstanding and the eggs oozed obligingly onto the plate.
The Summerhouse also has a very appealing seafood menu, as well as a desert lovers dreamy menu.
