Waffly good new morning menu at Blanchflower Bakery & Kitchen
EVERYONE needs a good reason to get a shift-on come Saturday morning – but we’ve found the perfect one! Blanchflower Bakery & Kitchen has just upped its brunch game. Altrincham’s fledgling artisan bread outlet and café is cracking on and extending its brunch menu, including one of our favourite specials back for good and a brand-new section, brought in for autumn.
One of our ‘best dishes to try’ picks back in April – we called the ox cheek Benedict hearty and buttery, tremulous and delicious
The weekender eggs Benedict dishes – the home-cured pork loin and chives ‘standard’ (it so isn’t), your smoked salmon and dill royale version, and a Portobello mushroom and tarragon option, each on a toasted focaccia muffin – are joined by the king of creations: the ox cheek Benedict on three-day sourdough. One of our ‘best dishes to try’ picks back in April – we called it hearty and buttery, tremulous and delicious – think melt-in-the-mouth shredded slow-cooked beef and poached eggs slathered with buttery, lemon-infused hollandaise sauce.
Meanwhile, the everyday classics include the Blanchflower English breakfast and crushed avocado on the famous three-day sourdough (it does have its own in-house bakery, after all), plus pastries, posh bowls of yoghurty loveliness, and – all new in Alty – piled-high waffles. Warm and welcoming, they’re laden with a choice of three three toppings: treacle-cured bacon, maple and blueberries; homemade caramel ice cream, cinnamon sugar and apple compote, or poached pears and chocolate.
Simple but full of flavour – that’s the mission at Blanchflower Bakery & Kitchen. We can’t think of anything better to get up to.
Blanchflower’s brunch is served from 10am (until 3pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; 11.30am Sunday to Wednesday).
