20 Aug Bossy Boots, Brighton

Brighton local Bossy Boots is not just known for its cosy eat-in vibes, but also its gourmet take home food offerings. Chefs Ben Forehan and Rachael Browne, who have backgrounds covering Stokehouse, Circa and Dench Bakers, have been producing healthy, but hearty and boldly flavoured takeaway meals through Bossy Boots for the last seven years.

The kitchen produces curries, savoury pastries, salads, pastas, sweets and the like for people who are time poor but still want delicious food to have at home, and all from scratch.

Chai Latte

The cafe itself is light-filled and relaxed, the kitchen pumping out well-made dishes like corn fritters with avocado salsa, tomato relish and crispy bacon, or the mixed bean and ham hock ragout with fried egg, which is perfect for the hungry. For a sweeter brunch, there’s a variety of porridge to choose from; the poached rhubarb, pear and banana is subtle in sweetness but tasty. And of course there are always the buttermilk pancakes, here coming with the classic combination of strawberries, ice cream and maple syrup.
