The breakfast, offered by The Land of Green Ginger, in Hastings Old Town, comes with two poached eggs and home-made bubble and squeak.

A social media user, posting on Hastings Old Town Appreciation group, said: “I can honestly say I had the best breakfast from a tiny little cafe opposite the Jenny Lind called The Land of Green Ginger. It really was exceptionally good with quality ingredients and very well cooked. And I was surprised they open at 8am every day – well worth a try.”
