Jack Rabbits

This is probably the best Ploughman's I have ever eaten, at Jack Rabbits cafe in Derby. Isn't it beautiful?

I mentioned their superb sandwiches and take away ready meals in an earlier blog, they have now branched out into cafe territory. About time!

The owner is a very friendly and smiley lady who obviously cares about the food she is serving and makes a point of asking how it was.

The staff are pleasant and unflappable despite the fact that there seems to be a queue out of the door most of the time.

The cafe is housed in a light and airy glass fronted room opposite the cathedral. This used the be the Glasshouse, a bar where I misspent much of my Derby youth. Nice to see it being put to such civil and bustling use, it feels right to be back somehow!

Since this visit I've already returned for a wonderful and substantial brunch, and I plan to become a regular here. Well done Derby.
