Breakfast in Stratford | Stratford Cross

Open from 8 am every day, except Sundays when it’s 9, this Westfield favourite, alongside Stratford Cross, may be part of a chain but it’s one that knows how to please. With a huge, and rather lovely, al fresco dining terrace, this is the place for sumptuous breakfasts and brunches. From eggs royale and lobster benedict, to fiery eggs in hell and vegan pancakes with maple syrup and banana, there is surely something to please every taste. A word of warning, it is popular, so we recommend you book ahead.

Coffee lover? Stop at Hand and grab a cup of locally roasted, specialty coffee, served with a conscience and with milk from a single herd of cows in Kent. The espresso is always seasonal and they pride themselves on it being roasted to enhance the coffee’s natural flavours. 

Feeling peckish? Try their Greek-inspired pastries, toasties and home-made cakes. Perhaps a little early for breakfast but you can also pick up craft beers and natural wines for later!.
