What we ate for brunch

The Stornway Stack and a pot of tea for me and the special square sausage stack with an americano for Mark.

Square sausage stack consisted of a slice of sourdough toast topped with potato scones, square sausage, poached eggs and drizzled with spicy ketchup.

I ordered a small Stornoway stack and I’m glad I did as that was filling enough!  A slice of sourdough toasted topped with bacon, black pudding and chili jam.

Of course, empty legs had to order something sweet, a strawberry danish from the display.  Served warm with extra sauce and some skooshy cream.
