Peckish

Visited twice in the last week for breakfast cobs and I’m very pleased, the staff are friendly and the food is perfect! There’s so many options to choose from definitely recommend 🙏🏼 I had a cob and only asked for 2 toppings and the lady was sure to let us know we could add another 2 toppings for same price 😊

There are few places in this capitalist hellscape these days that are still down to earth independent delicious eateries.. Peckish is one of the few greats. A famous spot within our community. I work in Norfolk House, an office building across the road. When you walk back into the office with that white paper bag, heavy with cob, the people will know where you have been. A sly smile will rupture across their face, eyes glittering, as they say to you, ‘Peckish?’. And almost like with a contagious yawn, you will have started a domino effect of people needing to purchase their own delectable breakfast joys. The prices are affordable, more than affordable i would argue in this cost of living crisis. A cob with 5 fillings of your choice is currently £4, that's a bargain if i’ve ever heard of one. My personal favourites, their hash browns. I could write a love letter to those crispy potato triangles. I don’t know how they make them so perfectly greasy and delicious. I almost don’t want to know, it would spoil the magic. The queens behind the counter are effortlessly efficient and sweet. Even when it’s busy and you know they’d rather be anywhere than there, they will still serve you with warmth and haste. Even when you walk in with a list because your colleagues wanted cobs too and you have to list off lots of things and feel annoying (you are being annoying), they will still welcome you with open arms. Please visit this delight on the corner, I dread to think of them ever being replaced by a horrendous American franchise. Go and experience the joys of a soft white cob laden with fillings of your choice, warm and comforting during the worst of commutes or mornings at work. Please just make sure to keep enough hashbrowns for me <3

I have been here twice in the last couple of weeks. I was very impressed. They offer a student discount and were generally quite full. Their jacket potatoes were great and were very cheap. It cost me £4 for a jacket potato with two fillings and a dessert. Re customer service i didn't mind it and was happy to eat in.

I really like peckish, the foods lovely and it's really reasonably priced. It's so handy for people at the tram stop or when your on the way to college/work. I always pop in for a giant jacket potato with tuna which is only around 2.50. It defiantly doesn't deserve the ridiculous reviews about its hygiene.
