Begin on your day on a good note at Yates with a simple yet scrumptious breakfast menu. Indulge in the classic British fry-up breakfast, featuring succulent sausages, crispy bacon, fried eggs, baked beans, hash browns, button mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, and buttered toast, or opt for some scrambled eggs on toast.
As lunchtime draws closer and bellies rumble, Yates puts out its main menu, with a selection of tempting choices that will surely tantalise your taste buds. A medley of small plates are on offer for a great price. From luscious sticky maple and bourbon BBQ pork meatballs and crispy breaded scampi with tartare sauce, to southern-fried chicken goujons and mini nachos topped with cheese, jalapeños, salsa and sour cream.
For those who like to order something to share amongst the table, why not opt for the foot-long nacho plate. This crowd-pleaser is generously smothered with a blend of cheese, punchy jalapenos, salsa, creamy guacamole, and spring onions, or there are the scrumptious cheesy mac and bacon loaded chips. The main menu features a great deal of pub classics, including a three bean chilli burger in a glazed bun, filled with all the burger trimmings and served with fries, a mixed grill featuring a rump steak, gammon steak, chicken breast, Cumberland sausage and a fried egg, and british chicken, ham hock and leek pie filled with a creamy sauce, wrapped in shortcrust pastry and served with seasonal veg, gravy and mash.
