Brunch is the ultimate 21st-century mealtime. A decade ago, this hot hybrid barely existed outside London. Now, whether swerving work midweek or recovering late on a Sunday, every British city centre now has multiple venues where you can linger over great coffee, sensational plates of eclectic food and the giddy sense of freedom which brunch conveys. This is olive’s salute to the stars of the smashed avo scene.
THE NEW CLUB, BRIGHTON
Sumptuous views of blue skies and rolling waves make this airy seafront diner a sweet summer shout. Relax over chipotle chilli bloody marys, pancakes with steeped blueberries, toasted granola and chantilly cream, or New Club’s pork ’n’ beans: crispy pork belly, chorizo, house beans, sumac-marinated feta and eggs on sourdough toast.
