The staff and service at the Black Penny are fantastic and the brunch menu is excellent with the food superb! The mushroom, spinach and polenta hash with a poached egg was brilliant. A super mix of mushrooms and a corned chicken egg with it's beautiful yolk. Altogether delicious. The meaty full breakfast similarly excellent on good sourdough toast and the black penny beans are delicious. There is loads more to explore on the menu - we hope to be back.
