Decent bacon sarny?

Is it possible to get one in this town, preferably with a decent mug of tea? Our caffs seem incapable of toasting both sides of bread, cooking bacon without a microwave or giving you a hot, brewed pot. Rant over in the hope one chef reads this!

I had a rare trip to Barneys Grill last Saturday. The bacon was fried and the mug of tea was absolutely spot on.

If by decent bacon sarnie you mean good smoked bacon. Nowhere in Hertford does a smoked bacon sarnie. And Barneys is certainly the cheapest 'green' bacon you could buy. Caffs never use good quality ingredients. They will always buy what the Cash & Carry has on special offer.

Try the Mead Lane Cafe, down errr Mead Lane! Used to be very good although that was a couple of years ago.

Head to the supermarket, buy some good smoked bacon, a nice granary loaf, some lettuce and a tomato! Head home and grill the bacon and make a great Homemade BLT! Can't beat it!

or; Go to foxholes or a butchers, where you'll get actual nice bacon, for less than the supermarket, then do all of the above.

The Mead Lane Caff has new owners and does a pretty good bacon sarnie. I can reccomend their bubble breakfast.

Has to be Roses, next to Halfords in the heart of town. Excellent bacon in a really tasty tiger bread roll, or for the hungry, go for the crusty bread bacon sandwich. Delicious!
