Big festive breakfasts for a crowd

What do you get when you add sweet eggy bread to crisp, salty bacon? Brunch heaven, that's what. Sprinkle with icing sugar and let everyone drizzle with their favourite syrup. Serve to a crowd and you're sure to be the host with the most.

Christmas buns

The lovely thing about these beautiful buns is that you can make them ahead then simply heat them up and add a glossy glaze and citrus icing on the big day. They are surprisingly easy to prepare and are best served with lots of coffee... Christmas buns

Soft-boiled duck egg with bacon & asparagus soldiers

Boiled egg and soldiers goes grown up, with pancetta and asparagus sourdough fingers and creamy duck eggs. If you’ve got a few kids around the table then simply add a few slices of toast to the mix too, and everyone will be happy! Soft-boiled duck egg with bacon & asparagus soldiers

Bagel bar

We love these salty, smoky and creamy bagels that are topped with a beautiful fried egg. If you want to save yourself the trouble of dishing up for everyone, put on a 'help yourself' bagel bar - simply layer up smoked salmon, sliced avocado, cream cheese, bacon, blueberries, honey and and whatever else takes your fancy and let your guests pile 'em high.
