The best breakfast in town is served in a pub.

Look, most people wander into Assembly thinking it's just a pub. Fair enough, it is one. But we're quietly pretty proud of what comes out of the kitchen before lunch, and we've just given the breakfast menu a solid once-over. Nothing precious about it. We open early, cook it fresh, and mostly just want you to pull up a chair and take your time.

The classics are all here, done properly: a B&E roll stacked on a brioche bun, eggs on toast however you like them, an Eggs Benedict that behaves itself. Then there's the fun stuff: a chilli crab scramble with tempura soft shell crab, a slow-cooked mushroom congee with crispy enoki, Turkish eggs under lemon-and-dill yoghurt, and a brioche French toast we're maybe a little too fond of. Even the humble beans get some love, braised on pane di casa. Nothing fancy for the sake of it. Just breakfast we'd happily eat ourselves.

We're not trying to reinvent breakfast. We just want to do it well, and give you somewhere good to sit while you eat it.

And the setting does a lot of the heavy lifting: a sunny beer garden, long tables, and nobody rushing you out the door. Order at the bar or scan your table number, grab a coffee, and let breakfast turn into the whole morning. Honestly, that's kind of the point.

Boozy brunch, every weekend

If you'd rather make a proper event of it, we run a boozy brunch every Saturday and Sunday: mimosas by the carafe, an espresso martini if you're feeling brave, a Bloody Mary if last night got away from you. It fills up fast, so it's worth grabbing a table ahead, rounding up your people, and letting breakfast roll happily into the afternoon.
