We’ve tried four months of Breakfast times (7.30-10 am) at the Purple Carrot every weekday morning from September. Unfortunately, the people who assured us they wanted this earlier service very rarely used it, so into 2024 we’re pushing the opening back to 8.30 am on a weekday, and remaining closed on Tuesdays. what this does mean is that you get a bit longer in the afternoon to enjoy your lunch. Nothing fancy but excellent tea and coffee, juice and smoothies, toast and accompaniments, obviously bacon and eggs, some tempting shakshuka, various vegan offerings, and yoghurt berries and granola. When it gets a bit colder we might even venture into proper porridge too

Brunch to Lunch gives a fullish morning menu with excellent PC salads, Toastie Ciabattas, Jackets, and a weekly special or two for a bit of variety.

For the present our awesome Street food suppers are only to be had when events are on in the evening such as quizzes, bookclubs and interest groups…so why not get a few of you together and book us for an evening?

Easter Weekend opening times


Good Friday – CLOSED daytime (evening event 7.30pm)
Saturday 9am-2pm
Sunday 9am-2pm
Monday – CLOSED
Tuesday 10am-2pm
Back at it from Wednesday

Further to this we have decided to curtail our Friday morning opening experiment for the time being at least. When it costs more in staff than we take on the gate it really doesn’t add up. We’ll keep offering the Friday evening events as and when – like the Paulies Popular quiz gets Teddy Appeal – Friday 5 May and cheeseboard evenings…but Friday daytime is not for us
