Brunch at The Lounge, North Road, Bedminster, Bristol

The Lounge, has become a regular feature for slightly-hungover sunday brunches during my visits to Bristol, (particularly because it seems to be the only place in Bedminster which meets R's requirement of serving hash browns with their cooked breakfasts).  This 'Lounge' is the original, more have sprung up since 2002, has a very chilled-out independent feel to it. 

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all good here, so it is always packed.  Strangely though, it was uncharacteristally quiet on a late sunday morning, making service attentive and speedy.

Orange juice is freshly squeezed and delicious.  Breakfast options consist of a full english option, a veggie version, a healty museli option, an eggs benedict version and perhaps most intriguingly, something called 'an egg and bacon stack' - eggy bread served with bacon and...maple syrup! 

How could I resist?
