Granny’s Pantry

«All-​day breakfast — served until 2»… That alone was enough to make me love the place. But for those who need a little bit more to get them through the door, there is plenty to enjoy.
Three wee tables (and a couple more outside) are all there is to help you take the load off your feet, but you shouldn’t struggle for space due to the popular takeaway service yielding more coming and going than sitting. And what is it people are taking away? It’s soup, spuds and sarnies really; hot versions of the latter doing brisk morning trade. It’s your butty buddy, then, but as the name suggests, this is no greasy spoon. The pantry — and possibly even Granny — side of things amounts to a large counter showcasing plenty of cakes, including individual French Fancies for 25p. And yet for all that, scones and a sponge almost seem like an after thought.
Overall, there’s a curious old-​fashioned feel. Not retro, not affectation, just something that you can’t quite put your finger on. It seems half-​remembered from childhood, just maybe not your own. Have the pink Fancy, it might be 1983.
Vintage Coke ads and posters from Casablance adorn one of the walls… Here’s looking at you Granny, I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

There was no sign of Granny when I popped in here recently, but the pantry was well and truly full.
The sandwiches here are simply stunning, covering all your breakfast, brunch and lunch needs. We got here early and were just looking for a traditional brekkie and a cup of tea. Granny’s team were only happy to oblige. I had a sausage sandwich with a cup of tea and my husband had a bacon buttie with a coffee.
As we had Frecks with us, we took advantage of the outdoor seating. Although the dog-​less amongst you will be able to sit inside. Browsing the menu, we were astounded at the range of freshly prepared sandwiches, baguettes, toasties, salads and jackets on offer. Granny’s Pantry are just so devoted to what they do they are willing to go that extra mile in order to make sandwiches an art form.
In actual fact, they’re willing to go that extra three miles as they even do deliveries! One more thing to remember… Granny employs her own personal baker, Floss! Floss is on hand to make a cake for any occasion and if Floss’ cakes taste as stunning as Granny’s sarnies, you’ll be in for a real treat.
Thanks Gran!
