Sat here for Saturday brunch with some friends. Eating was really good and well cooked, hot and cooked to order. coffee was also good. Nice that it was busy and popular. dogs are also allowed. worth a visit.

So when there was an opportunity to lunch in polwarth, I jumped by chance. for the first time the queen vicky had suggested the piecebox that sounded good to me. I had visited one because the nearby odds ends, and I heard good dinge about streat hawker in the polwarth tavern, but that is otherwise quite unexplored territory for me.

Really cute cafe with a nice atmosphere. Went in for a quick brunch with the boyfriend, I couldn't decide what to get so in the end we got pancakes, bacon and maple syrup and a portion of eggs benefit with spinach and tomato. Then had half each, cause he's good like that ?? . The eggs Benedict was so good ! !! We also got a cake each to takeaway ? the cake was homemade and yummy and we were each given a very decent sized slice Food and service was both great. I will be back ?
