The Brunch Co.

Henry Spurgeon

Two of us had a lovely brunch here. The menu is varied, with choices from breakfasts to lunches, panninis, sandwiches, cooked breakfasts etc. There are several vegetarian and vegan options, and there were a couple of specials available on the day. The coffee was okay, not the best I've ever had. The service was good, and the food came in decent time. I really enjoyed the savoury Pancakes drizzled in a shot glass of maple syrup! My wife really liked her breakfast bagel. There was plenty of seating available when we arrived, but the place filled quickly (clearly popular), and I did overhear someone say that booking in advance was not possible, so be wary of picking your timings! We look forward to our next visit! 👍

Alright hear me now, it is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I had been told one of the best places that do it in Essex is the brunch co. It’s an cosy establishment and due to this can get quite busy at times but even if you have to wait outside for a bit I consider it to be worth the wait. I got a full English breakfast with fried eggs, sourdough toast and grilled halloumi. I’ve never tried halloumi with an English breakfast but what intrigued to see if it could elevate it from what I heard was already brilliant. The way the food was presented on the plate had a certain elegance that I haven’t seen from an English breakfast before everything was cooked to perfection from the sausage which bursted with flavour, the bacon oh so crispy and aesthetically pleasing. The sourdough bread was harder than I expected but with the butter melted on it became a dream. Even the mushroom that I have always liked but I have never tried mushrooms that tasted that good and I don’t even know why they did. Everything worked in the beautiful harmony of flavours in my mouth. Some black pepper could have made it even better but really and truly I can’t fault it. I never thought halloumi could work well in combination with tho other items of food it definitely added an aspect of saltiness that is needed especially if you finish your bacon quickly. Which you can easily run the risk of as it’s truly beautiful. I think if I go there again I will try it with the seasoned potatoes instead of the halloumi to see if that makes the whole culinary experience better as different flavours besides saltiness can enter the mix. 8.5/10 Overall experience 8/10, only because the seating was a bit uncomfortable.
