Gruel Britannia - Westport

Outstanding breakfast, British full, and a proper cup of tea ( in a teapot). I had forgotten the difference of tea from a teapot! Great service and great food. They have a good brunch and lunch menu too. Definitely will be back.

It’s nice and bright, a little chilly today. The Scotch Egg had a hard, not runny middle (that’s ok) but it was cold in parts. However, the sausage meat was DELICIOUS. My fish and chips were lovely (very generous portions) and great batter but again the mushy peas were served cold? I asked for them to be re-heated. Service was friendly but slow. I was going to purchase a Cadbury’s advent calendar but I couldn’t bring myself to pay $30 for what would cost $2 in the UK. The ‘LOO’ was decked out with Beano comic pages which I loved and made me feel like a child again. This venue is bigger than Fairfield. I will return, but please shine at the dishes us Brits crave!

I really enjoyed my lunch. The atmosphere and our lunch (the coronation chicken sandwich, Scotch eggs and English Breakfast tea) made me feel like I was in the UK.

A great shop and cafe providing British food and products. Good friendly service. Well worth trying if in the area.

Very nice place, very friendly and attentive staff, but they got my order completely wrong. I ordered the breakfast burrito which is supposed to have eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, avocado, and come with curry ketchup, but was instead filled with rice, beans, eggs, and sausage with no sauce. I would have easily ordered something else if they had mentioned that they were out of essentially everything in the burrito.
