S&M. Get it? Get it? - A nice local option for a decent full English breakfast. Can get crowded on the weekend but the service is brisk so the wait typically isn't too awful. My only problem with this place is that the sausage and mash, once you get a couple of nice sausages and some bubble and squeak, somehow totals up to £9, which is a bit steep. But they have decent filter coffee, which is certainly a rarity in the area. 26-03-08

Mash Hysteria - S&M serves up some decent sausage and mash (Har-har, get it? S&M?), and they have a good selection of sausage varieties, multiple mash variations, gravy choices, and sides. The ambiance is fun and informal, although the quirkiness feels a bit pre-packaged and pseudo-retro. I had absolutely no complaints about the sausages, mash, bubble and squeak - sometimes this type of food can really hit the spot. Yet it somehow just felt wrong to be eating it in a place that doesn't have ale on tap (or if they did, I didn't see it). Sausage and mash is meant to be washed down with a good ale in my world, although it is a welcome change to eat it in a place that actually allows daylight to enter. I suppose I could branch out and try some sausage and mash with a Dandelion & Burdock soda, but that somehow doesn't seem quite the same. 03-02-08
