Let’s catch up, we said. Let’s have brunch, we said. Let’s go to Wild Canary, we said, so we did. This café is set in wonderful, leafy grounds, surrounded by trees and bamboo groves. Staff were friendly and efficient (and they actually take your order; unheard of these days) and welcoming. We had cappuccino, and a soy latte and a strawberry milkshake. Hubby said his milkshake wasn’t cold enough (a common complaint) and it wasn’t big enough for him. Coffees were fine, neither here nor there. I ate a delicious, moist, well-sized duck leg with lentils, and beetroot kraut and grilled peach. So tasty and so filling. Really good duck leg! Hubby chose a croque monsieur with mushroom and pumpkin, and a side salad. All good, though he couldn’t discern the truffled béchamel. Miss M. had Gardeners breakfast – a very hearty way to start the day. She had sausage, and eggs, and halloumi and beetroot and beans and mushrooms and sourdough toast. And don’t forget the bacon steak! We really enjoyed the service, the atmosphere, and the food. Shame about the pouring rain, which meant we had to get up and leave, rather than have another coffee. Ah well, next time. See less
