Trade Breakfast and Brunch Menu
Until 11 am, you can order a Hot Breakfast Roll with fillings like Bacon or Sausage, Egg and Cheese. You can try the Egg, Avocado and Crispy Chilli Roll if you prefer a vegetarian option. Alternatively, try their selection of reinvented classic and original Hot Trademark Sandwiches featuring their Trade-made Smoked Pastrami or Turkey. Give the Ruben, Mushrooben, Chicken and Bacon Club or Cuban Club a go.
One of my favourites is the Grilled Cheese, which we happily ordered with Just Cheese. However, you can also choose from other fillings like Basil Pesto, Smoked Tomato Chilli Jam, Kimchi, Tuna Mayo, Ham, Chorizo, Smoked Pastrami or Mushrooms.
If you’re in the mood for more brunch-style dishes, they have everyone’s favourites, such as Smashed Avocado on Toast or Free Range Eggs on Toasted Sourdough. Consider trying Char Siu Pork Belly with Cornbread, Chorizo with Scrambled Eggs and Crispy Chilli or Miso Aubergine with Avocado and Dukkah for more adventurous options. They also serve their Pastrami with Hollandaise Sauce on a Cholla Roll.
The Banana and Peanut Butter Grilled Sourdough with Maple Syrup is a delicious option for sweet tooths. We opted for the Buttermilk Pancakes with Ricotta, Mascarpone and Fresh Berries, which turned out to be incredibly fluffy. Or you can try these with Choc Chips, Banana and Peanut Butter or Eggs and Bacon instead.
At the counter by the entrance, you’ll find Croissants, Cinnamon Swirls, various Cookies and a delightful array of Cakes. You’ll be tempted by their Salted Caramel Brownie, Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting or Lemon Drizzle.
Their Coffee is roasted by their coffee partner, Origin, in their Cornwall roastery. You can expect a wide range of variations, from Espresso to Cortado, and they also serve Dirty Chai Latte and Mocha. In addition to the Coffee, they offer Cocktails, Prosecco, Wine and Beers, making it a delightful experience overall! Happy days!
