Just got back from picking up bike from bicycle hospital, taking in Preston Market on the way. Which was heaving and throbbing with vast crowds of people. So much so that I think I will do my market shopping tomorrow early instead. Lunch will be local banh mi I think. And extra tiger rolls for scrambled eggs tomorrow morning.
@Thornburywitch @bot001 so sad that it may be closing, after all these years
Not set in concrete yet. There's hope. Judging by the throng this morning, there's life in the old dog yet.
@Thornburywitch 🤞🏻all fingers crossed 😊

Ok, there's a caff on the corner of St Georges Road and Hutton St called the Millhouse cafe. They do excellent banh mi, ciabattas and their tiger rolls are supreme. However, everything else there is ordinary at best. Don't touch the coffee with a ten foot pole. Or the bakery items - underwhelming at best. Not open Sundays.
The other place I go for banh mi is the bakery on the corner of High St and Normanby Road - cheap and quite good. Next to Psarakos market.
