Walk along Pelham Street on route to the city’s Hockley district and you will see shiny pavement seating welcoming you into an inviting café called Homemade. Homemade is a cosy, friendly, independent café serving truly delicious homemade food. Licensed and fully stocked with beers, wines and ciders, you can enjoy your favourite tipple along with your meal. Here they believe in great, honest home cooking whilst supporting local producers. They are also child friendly, with booster seats and crayons at hand. The snug purple decor showcases local artwork and the handwritten chalkboards are bursting with delicious treats. The menu boasts a wide selection of breakfasts, including the renowned full English and a plate of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs served on chunky toast. At lunchtime choose from the popular lasagne, jackets with Brie and red onion chutney, a Greek salad or even a freshly baked ciabatta filled with home-roasted Mediterranean vegetables and melted goat’s cheese. Vegetarians will be pleased to find options like the veggie breakfast, satisfying chilli or daily-changing hearty soups. For the sweet toothed, there are indulgent cakes aplenty; the legendary chocolate brownie is an absolute must, and if you really want to push the boat out, order the brownie ice cream sundae – an indulgent chocolate feast. Homemade is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. It is also available to book for private parties from 7pm until 11pm. If you’re looking for an office lunch, Homemade also provides outside catering – just call for more information.
