A brief history of brunch
Brunch is a meal, sometimes accompanied by champagne or light spirits, taken in the late morning or early afternoon. It has its origins in the British hunt breakfast. The word "brunch" is a fusion of the words "breakfast" and "lunch". It first appeared in England at the end of the 19th century and became popular in the United States in the 1930s.
The term is thought to have been coined in Britain in 1895 to describe a Sunday meal for Saturday night revellers.
By eliminating the need to get up early on Sundays, brunch was said to make life more pleasant for Saturday night revellers.
It has also been claimed that the term may have been coined by the journalist Frank Ward O'Malley, who wrote in the early 20th century for the New York newspaper The Sun, from 1906 to 1919. He is thought to have coined the term after observing the mid-day eating habits of his newspaper colleagues.
Open from 11am to 3pm every Saturday & Sunday.
From Saturday 23 March.
