Alongside my full time career as an aggressively enthusiastic waitress; I’ve somehow also appointed myself head of photographing your lunch. It started off innocently enough but now half me camera roll is just steak; eggs and breaded halloumi

I’ve also noticed you lot have absolutely no interest in sticking to the menu as it was written and I honestly couldn’t love it more.

Extra steak? Sensational

Swap the chicken for breaded halloumi? Outstanding

Fancy another six scrambled eggs because life’s too short? SAY NO MORE FRIEND

Honestly man; however you want your plate; we’re here for it. Swap things in; swap things out; double up on your favourites; create something that wasn’t even on the menu five minutes ago; if it makes you happy; it makes us happy

Every single plate that leaves our kitchen makes us ridiculously proud and seeing the combinations you lot come up with is half the fun

So before they were all absolutely annihilated; welcome to this week’s protein exhibition 🥳

This has been my breakfast almost every single morning for the last 3 years 😂

This is the Meggs. Usually scrambled eggs but I’m a fried egg girl. I need a runny yolk to dunk some sourdough into 😏

Years ago I’d eat 3 protein mousses before 9am and then spend the rest of the day wondering why my stomach absolutely detested me 🫠

Grass fed beef is one of the most nutrient dense foods you can eat. It’s naturally rich in complete protein; highly absorbable iron; zinc; B vitamins aaaaand healthy fats. Eggs bring choline for your brain hole; vitamins A; D; K2 and more top notch protein. Together they don’t just fill you up; they actually nourish you. The food on ya fork becomes the cells in your body 🙌 there is also a snazzy little raw honey option where you can have us drizzle Tees Valley Honey all over the mince and eggs…trust us. You won’t regret that decision

There’s a reason a breakfast like this keeps you satisfied for hours without having you making eyes with the biscuit tin by 10.35am.

Guys; we spend SOOOO much time counting calories that we’ve forgotten to count nutrients. Anyway; if you lot need me; I’ll be sat eating exactly the same breakfast tomorrow morning. For the 1096th day in a row. And I’ll still think it’s the best thing on the menu 😂😂

Another excellent bunch of snaps from the talented Warped Media . I look sound but the eggs stole the show let’s be honest x

Breakfast is a funny one.

Somewhere along the line we decided sugary cereal; low fat everything and a glass of orange juice was the gold standard but a plate of steak and eggs at 9.30am? Odd.

We respectfully disagree

The healthiest traditional cultures around the world didn’t all wake up eating the same ‘breakfast foods’ They ate real food. Meat; eggs; fermented foods; full fat dairy; seasonal produce. Foods that had actually… well; come from food

That’s exactly why we built our breakfast menu the way we did. Quality protein from our class local butchers; healthy fats; no seed oils and no refined sugar. Ingredients your great grandparents would actually recognise

And before anyone asks; yes; we serve breakfast all day. If you fancy mince and eggs at 2pm or steak and eggs at 9.30am; who are we to stand in the way of your happiness?

Every week our wonderful regulars keep coming back but lately we’ve had so many new faces through the door too 😭🫶

The amount of people telling us they’ve loved the scran; that they actually leave feeling BETTER after eating….or my personal favourite last week ‘it just tastes ‘real’ 🥳🙌

We’re almost 6 months in (meeeeental) and I think we might’ve accidentally opened a cafe that people genuinely like; which is ideal because it’d have been quite an expensive hobby otherwise

Annnnyyyway; we’re not stopping there. New dishes are already being tested; the celebration cake diary is officially open and despite going to bed every night absolutely cream crackered; I still wake up every morning excited to do it all again

I reckon that’s probably a good sign

BREAKING NEWS

Your Sunday gravy and mash dealer is taking the day off.

I’m currently on shift number 16; the team have been absolute machines lately and after using my advanced business knowledge (having a sit down for 30 seconds) I’ve made an executive decision…

We’re closed this Sunday 😂😂

I haven’t had a Sunday off in forever; neither have the team and as much as I’d love to pretend we’re all solar powered; it turns out we’re just humans who require things like sleep and occasionally remembering what our own houses look like

I’m genuinely sorry to anyone who’d already planned their Sunday around our gravy and mash. Please don’t just stand outside staring through the windows. We won’t be in.

Since opening the cafe I honestly have to keep pinching myself that this is even my life. It’s been the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done and also the thing that’s aged me the quickest. Opening a cafe is simultaneously the best and worst decision I’ve ever made but somehow I’d still do it all again tomorrow 😂😂

One of the nicest things about being your own boss is that; every now and then; you can decide that everyone needs to stop for five minutes before they collectively combust into 57,000 pieces

So we’ll see you all tomorrow; we’ll spend Sunday remembering what a day off feels like and then we’ll be back Monday pretending we know what well rested means

And genuinely guys; thank you. Every coffee; every steggs; every person who’s queued; shared a post; brought a friend or simply chosen us over somewhere else; you’ve helped turn what was once a slightly delusional idea into a real little business. That still blows our teeny tiny minds

Right; enough soppy stuff. See you all tomorrow 💚💚

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THERE ARE NOW MORE HERBS

Can everyone collectively agree not to ask me how to pronounce chimichurri cos I genuinely haven’t got a clue and at this point I’m too far in to ask. Every member of staff says it differently and none of us are convinced we’re right but we’ve all committed to the mission

What I CAN tell you though is that it’s made fresh in house; it’s got absolutely no seed oils; it’s basically herbs; garlic and decent olive oil having the absolute time of their lives and somehow I’ve become irrationally proud of a side dish. Never in my life did I think I’d be lying in bed thinking about herbs; yet here we are guys

Stick it on your Steggs; ya Meggs; ya eggs; ya steak; ya breakfast…probably not in your coffee though. Basically if you’ve ordered something that exists on a plate; there’s a fair chance it’ll improve it

I’m fully aware it’s just a green sauce but I’d also like to make it clear that if anyone slags it off I’ll be taking it as a personal attack cos I now feel oddly protective over what is essentially a bowl of mini leaves swimming in olive juice x

Starting Monday 💚

If you’ve followed us for a while; you’ll know this has never just been about opening a cafe; it’s always been about making real food more accessible. A place where families can come and enjoy meals made with quality ingredients without feeling like eating well has to be complicated or cost the earth

One of our favourite things is seeing little ones tucking into a steak; eggs; chicken or a proper homemade meal. Growing bodies need real nourishment and we genuinely believe healthy food should be something every child has access to.

So throughout the school holidays; all children’s meals are 20% off

If it helps even a few more families swap one ultra processed meal for a proper one this summer; we’ll be very happy

We can’t wait to welcome you all 💚

As much as we’d happily feed you all day long; our team comes first. Working in a kitchen during a heatwave is no joke and if these temperatures stick around; we may need to close a little earlier over the next few days to protect the people who work so hard to look after you.

We know you’ll understand and we’d love to see you a little earlier in the day if you’re planning on popping in.

Thank you for always backing our little team 💚
