Lazydayz cafe, Wimpole

http://www.lazydayzcafe.com/

A roadside greasy spoon, bit of a rare beast these days. Conveniently situated for Wimpole parkrun...

Free WiFi!

 ...although I didn't see any runners, or cyclists, or bikers for that matter, hanging around. There was a steady trickle of not-conspicuously-athletic regulars, but it didn't get crowded.

Too much food. 1.5 Tomatoes

Fried slice is on the menu by default - Hallelujah! As well as the never-before-spotted cheesy bubble and squeak, which proved irresistible. I ordered the 'Tasty Tenner', which cost seven pounds (not a tenner. It's a mystery).

A word about ordering. Swaps are not allowed by the chef! So choose a breakfast you like and add extras. This includes Lorne sausage, which looks terrifying. There are some pretty good value options, and discounts can be printed out from the website (which I was not equipped with). Also the default coffee with the breakfast is instant or possibly jug: espresso-based drinks require a £1 upgrade.

I sat outside and the food arrived in about the time you would expect to cook it from scratch, which it appeared to be. Streaky bacon was a good mix between crispy and pliant. Lincolnshire sausages warm all the way through. Bubble and squeak moist and oozy. The fried slice was a fried slice. We're not talking gourmet ingredients but it's decent.
