Brunching in Bed... The Breakfast Company 

We’ve all been there. It’s Sunday morning, you’re not feeling on top form, and all you (and everyone else in your vicinity) want from life is for someone to deliver a gourmet breakfast to your bed. Well brunchers, your prayers have been answered. Currently The Breakfast Company only deliver in South London but plan to expand further around the capital very soon. 

Brunching round the clock... Polo Bar

Fancy a fritatta at four am? Eggs Benny at eight? Croissants round the clock? We could go on forever... which incidentally, is the attitude of the ever alert 24 Hour Polo Bar. Life never stops at this three story cafe opposite Liverpool Street Station, which is there to cater for your brunch hankerings whenever they may crop up. Literally, whenever.  

Brunching in the Sky... Duck and Waffle

Of course the highest restaurant in the UK do a great brunch. Named after it’s signature dish (crispy duck leg confit, fried duck egg and mustard maple syrup on a waffle - reason enough to go there in itself) this restaurant really is unrivaled when it comes to both food and atmosphere. A real once in a lifetime brunch.

Method

Pre heat your oven to 200'c

 Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or butter and line with the Parma ham ensuring you don't leave any gaps for the egg mixture to escape. 

 In a small bowl whisk together the egg whites, black pepper, herbs and Tabasco.

 Pour the mixture into the Parma ham basket and pop it in the oven. 

 Bake for 12 minutes then remove from the oven and top with the cheese. 

 Bake for a further 3 - 5 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the egg is cooked through. 

 Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few moments before transferring to your plate adding a little extra Tabasco and enjoying immediately. 

Prosciutto & Parmesan Scramble, Siobhan Emma 

Here at Tabasco, we’re big fans of a Prosciutto & Parmesan Scramble. So simple, so full of flavour and very much the type of dish you would only really have for brunch. This recipe removes the milk from scrambled eggs and calls instead, for melted butter to be mixed into beaten eggs. The result is thick and creamy scrambled eggs, all by using a little less cream. Oh the irony.

Cannoli Stuffed French Toast, Two Peas & Their Pod

If you’re in the mood for something sweet this weekend, look no further. This one really is decadent. Originally created, it seems, as a ruse for one half of ‘Two Peas & Their Pod’ to make the other a rather special valentines breakfast, we’re thinking the Cannoli influence and substantial amounts of ricotta cheese also certify it as a very Italian brunch. You might need a Bloody Mary to go alongside this one to add a bit of a savoury kick…

Spring Brunch Pizza, Zen Can Cook  

Well we couldn't do Italy without featuring a brunch pizza now could we? This recipe from ‘Zen Can Cook’ is perfect for a spring-time Italian brunch. As Zen highlights, pizzas really are customisable - try out whatever brunch delights you fancy and enjoy!

Italian Trattoria Omelette, Chin Deep

Mozerella, meatballs and parmesan for brunch? We’re in. As you can guess, this is an inspired dish and leans more towards the ‘unch’ side of ‘brunch’. We would recommend this if you are having brunch for a smaller party, as cooking these omelettes en masse can get a bit stressful.  

Ricotta Hotcakes, Nigella Lawson

Buddha Bar 

Best Of The Brunch say...

Fancy a full on Asian feast for brunch? If so Buddha-Bar London is the perfect brunch haven for you!

Its new ALL YOU CAN EAT Sunday brunch menu incorporates flavours from China, Japan, Thailand and the Middle East, with Western twists and influences also weaved through the delicate flavours in an extravagant baroque setting.

Expect to enjoy dishes such as sushi, tempura and an array of curry and noodle dishes, accompanied by live music 

The Old Post Office

Best Of The Brunch say...

A light, airy and contemporary space which pays tribute to the historic features of the building, The Old Post Office in Wallingford offers a range of modern British and Mediterranean breakfast and brunch dishes.

Overlooking Wallingford’s historic market square, The Old Post Office is warm and cosy making it both a great place to meet up with friends or simply watch the world go by.

You can also watch chefs at work in the sweeping open plan kitchen, and enjoy delicious dishes such as the French Toast Stack and Full English. A children’s breakfast menu is also available.

Roast 

Best Of The Brunch say... 

At the heart of the foodie heaven of Borough Market lies Roast, a restaurant dedicated to reviving an appreciation of British cuisine. Using native ingredients wherever possible, the breakfast menu crams in a mouthwatering array of eggs, meat, fish and vegetarian delights.

Brightly lit by enormous arched windows on three sides, the contemporary interior affords a vista over the market towards St. Paul’s, making Roast ideal for social and business entertaining.

We highly recommend THE FULL BOROUGH – smoked streaky bacon, Roast recipe sausages, fried bread, Ramsay of Carluke’s black pudding, grilled tomato, field mushroom, bubble ‘n’ squeak and your choice of egg: poached, fried or scrambled for £15.00

The Magazine

Best Of The Brunch say...

The Magazine forms part of the new Serpentine Sackler Gallery in the heart of Hyde Park. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, the Magazine is her first restaurant space in central London.

The Magazine dining room features a flowing membrane roof, and columns that flood natural light into the room. Stunning glass walls also give the impression of dining in the surrounding garden, providing the perfect venue for the restaurant’s innovative dishes.

Now under the watchful eye of German born Head Chef Emmanuel Eger you can expect a considerate blend of both ingredients and tastes of British and European food.

Open for breakfast, all hot dishes are served with rustic Campaillou toast, gluten free bread or bread free. The poached Clarence Court eggs, bacon and hollandaise are a BOTB favourite.

Boulestin

Best Of The Brunch Say... 

Offering premium French cuisine in the name of the legendary food writer, Xavier Boulestin, Boulestin is an elegant Mayfair restaurant near to Green Park boasting all the hallmarks of French cuisine.

For breakfast and brunch, The Boulestin menu features a wide range of traditional English and French options including a variety of eggs, pancakes and croissants, as well as our favourite – the Huevos Rancheros.

Boulestin also offers a wide selection of fresh juices, tea and smoothies – including the delicious ‘Green Vegan’ and ‘Power Shake’, and there is a beautiful outdoor seating area to enjoy in the finer weather.

Paying homage to old-world French elegance, Boulestin has large, ornate windows, numerous mirrors and smooth whites and creams to aid the luxurious atmosphere while you enjoy a midweek breakfast meeting or an elegant Saturday brunch.

You Will Need:

(serves 2)

Half a jar of Nutella (No, we're not joking) 

Tabasco. Quantity should vary depending on your taste. We like a good three or four drops per layer. 

6 Scotch Pancakes

2 Bananas

You Will Need To:

Firstly chop up your bananas into individual slices 

Once you've done this, get the scotch pancakes in the toaster. Here at Tabasco we love a scotch pancake, a quick and easy way to have the America's favourite breakfast without the frying pan faff. 

Next you need to start layering. Simply spread a spoonful of Nutella onto your first pancake, add three to four drops of Tabasco and spread with the back of a spoon. 

Add three banana slices, repeat. 

We would advise against layering more than three pancakes per stack as they tend to fall.
