Friends of Mine

The people of Porgie and Mr Jones have a new cafe, and it's fantastic!!! Perhaps even better than Porgie itself!  The bright yellow doorway leads to a massive space, with all the random quirky touches of Porgie but in a more spacious and grown up setting.  The menu has many of the same items as Porgie (breakfast scrambled, smashed avocado etc) but with a more extensive lunch menu.  

We saw Mr Jones, the owner himself run around and making sure that everything was perfect.  I even saw him brush some crumbs off the floor!  He was wearing ridiculous hipster glasses but was super friendly and obviously very enthusiastic about his new cafe!

I had a massive chicken baguette.  The bread was super fresh and crusty and the chicken was from the happy chicken company which claim to be free range.  Given my recent enthusiasm for animal rights, I was particularly pleased to read this.  

My brother has the massive goats cheese scrambles with mushrooms and bacon to top it off.  It was quite disgustingly delicious!

The staff were lovely, with many of my favourites from Porgies.  They seemed a lot more serious and focused on the service, which was a pleasant change from the too cool attitude that too many waiters seem to have these days.

Friends of Mine is definitely a new favourite.
