Top choice in Launceston
Bryher's super-appealing 1920s stained-glass shopfront and well-loved floorboards set the scene for a rootsy, meaty menu. The baked giant beans, black pudding, bratwurst and poached egg will resolve any hangover issues, or order the venison sausage with red sauerkraut and rocket pesto. There are vintage Phantom comics to read, and footpath tables with rugs (or warm up with a whisky hot toddy).
Homemade spice packets and jars of marmalade and pickles line the shelves at up the back.
