The Twisted Spoon

the Twisted Spoon - a brand-new café inspired by the classic British greasy spoon, but with more than a touch of the US deli-diner thrown in for good measure - will be open at the Harley, on Glossop Road.

Serving up a stripped-down menu featuring simple, hearty, home-made food, the Twisted Spoon will be open for business six days a week, and will adapt its menu to fit the climate, with seasonal specials and hand-picked ingredients. As well as the basics, there’ll be the option to upgrade your fodder for a swankier alternative; so the lowly full English, one of the Harley’s menu staples for as long as we remember, will also be available in a ‘gourmet’ version, complete with home-made speciality sausages, posh bread and other accoutrements.

Elsewhere, you’ll find the usual suspects like budget soups, burgers (their triple-cooked chips are a particular talking-point) and pies, all served with a choice of home-made pickles and chutneys.
