Van Hage breakfast still a big hit despite price rise of 30p
 |
Van Hage has increased the price of its breakfast from £1.99 to £2.29 but it hasn't put off customers. In fact, the early morning meal is still as popular as ever and draws visitors to the garden centre.
Catering manager Charlotte Butcher (pictured) says that customers still think the breakfast is great value for money when you can have five items for £2.29. "We regularly serve around 380 breakfasts on a Saturday morning, with almost simlar numbers on Sunday despite the shorter serving time."
Charlotte, who has wide experience as Catering Manager for Toby Carvery and as Kitchen Manager at schools in Cambridgeshire, is bringing about a variety of changes in the Van Hage restaurant.
A £5 lunch-time meal deal is proving popular, and Charlotte is working closely with head chef Sam Mitchell to provide a new menu of meals. Vegetarian and gluten-free meals are also getting close attention as the Van Hage restaurant aims to offer a wide variety.
Charlotte also gave GTN Food Xtra a glimpse of the new Smoothie Bar, which has just opened and is already creating a lot of interest.
The restaurant even holds a Café-Lingo evening every Thursday where visitors can learn a foreign language.
