Congratulations to the Moonlight Café for being the first greasy spoon/working man's café to be included on this site.
The Moonlight Café is a large, bright café on Wood Street serving the kind of fare you'd expect of it. No better way to curb the Saturday morning hangover (or any other day for that matter) than to treat yourself to a fry-up.
The egg, chips, bacon and beans and the scrambled egg on toast with fried tomatoes were all very acceptable with good portions and the toast was made with thick slices of bread (white or brown) - just the way it should be. A glass of fresh orange juice was perfect to clean the palate but the coffee was awful - weak, cheap and instant even though they advertise fresh coffee. Breakfast for two came to £8.50.
A recommended café – as long as they make sure they keep the wholesale catering coffee under the counter.
