Had to eat something on my visit to the American Air Show, so stopped in at what is now the Armoury. Greeted at the door by a fella asking how I was and if I knew what I wanted, on seeing the transformation for the first time, told him “confused and a full English”, sorry, we don’t do those anymore (they did bacon rolls and something else, not enough to feed a mouse), but the Workshop do have cooked breakfasts.
Exit the Armoury and walked to Joe’s – sorry, the Workshop. This time greeted by a girl who gave me a menu, explaining that the cooked breakfast was either a pancake with maple syrup, or an omelette, but no full English. Disappointed (and my stomach sometimes rejects pancakes, so wouldn’t dare try those) settled for the omelette and a (real) cup of tea (I later heard that they don’t do just cups of tea, one had to use the outside caterers, although that could be just a rumour). Omelette was very tasty, although I’ll have 2 next time, which will come to about the same price as the full English used to be.
On exiting the Workshop I noticed the girl talking to a few more people coming in, before they made their exit. Talking to the girl before I left, it transpired that they too were after a full English, at which she mentioned that she was going to see what could be done about reinstating it for Sunday. I wished her luck, and hope that on my next visit it has been re-instated.
