Flamingo

I surprised my partner with brunch here for his birthday this week. What a wonderful experience! I popped in to ask in advance about brunch and was advised to book in just in case the venue got busy. By the time we had finished brunch, it was indeed very busy. We started with a red velvet (him) and turmeric latte (me). The first pleasant surprise was the size of the cup. In an age where lattes are generally served in thimbles, it made a change to receive a tasty hot latte that wasn't all foam in a cup that held a decent volume of liquid. We both went for the full English breakfast and were again pleasantly surprised with the amount of food received. Two sausages is almost unheard of these days. Everything tasted wonderful, including the mushrooms. The sausages were great quality. A really good quality breakfast at a very reasonable price. The service was friendly, with a smile. As it got busier, it was a little less easy to catch the attention of our server. We did notice a couple come and go after waiting to be attended to for more than a few minutes. Overall, our personal experience, however, was wonderful. We will definitely be back and am glad to have found a regular brunch and latte haunt. You can tell a lot of care and attention has gone into running such a great place. Flamingo is a reminder of how service and quality used to be as standard and why it's so important to support local independent businesses.
