March 2025. Garforth. Leeds.
The sun comes out, time for an actual trip, in the campervan, to some tourist sites.
But first, Garforth.
An unsung Leeds suburb, the Haverhill of the North.
We resisted the breakfast sausage in favour of brunch in Spoons.
Had the Briggate ever graced the Guide ? Presumably not, as this is my first visit since the hardcore Tetley of the Gaping Goose 2 decades ago.
75% female trade. Note the skilful way I edit out that baby.
There’s a bit of Hi-Vis trade, but none of the morning drinkers you’d get in Bognor.
There can’t be many Spoons to have completely evaded the GBG,
and a half (sorry) of Rudgate for a quid (cash) is solid GBG standard, though I doubt I’d prefer it over the Templar or Palace over it in a Guide selection.
Some nice interior touches,
so I took my lacings on a little tour,
before rejoining Mrs RM for my £4.03 Fiesta Brunch. Plus 55p for the essential hash brown.
“Shall we take a more in-depth look at the hidden treasures of Garforth, Mrs RM ?”
“No“

Baked beans in a sausage? OMG! Mind, if it was just pork sausage meat and black pudding, I’d be in the queue.

Bill, I think I’d rather have them in a sausage than in one of those silly little blue pots on my breakfast plate. And that reminds me that Manchester’s Lost Dean was always good for sausages.

Baked beans are the work of Satan. If they come in a little pot they can be put to one side and ignored.

Bill, Hamsters’ food bowls shouldn’t be on the table at all.

How does halloumi rate as a brunch food, Martin?

Excellent. With poached egg, mushroom and guacamole it’s quite filling.

I see on their website that they offer a Freedom breakfast.
Given the ingredients, I suspect it’s freedom from less snugly fitting clothing. I suspect you made the right choice!

Mrs RM had the Freedom breakfast. I think they just leave out the sausage. Paul Mudge can advise you on the perils of leaving out the sausage!

The only thing essential about hash browns is acknowledging them as the tasteless American food of Satan.
