Pork benedict | Morning After | West End
Shaking up a classic can sometimes be risky business but morning after do it spectacularly well. Whilst we’re quite protective of the humble eggs Benny that has been through many iterations, morning after’s pork benny is up there with the best, and definitely one for the carnivores. Expect fresh sourdough to be topped with two eggs and hollandaise as normal, but with a slab of smoked field-fed pork still on the bone, with a green apple and fennel salad to top it off. Did someone say protein?
