Review of Priory 17
14 Nov 07, 13:10
Food for thought? 
Walking through Christchurch High Street on a crisp November morning the smell of sizzling bacon and fresh coffee practically has you running into the nearest cafe. With so many to choose from I thought I'd do a run down on them all. There's nothing worse than being tempted by the lick smacking aromas, only to find yourself sitting in front of a second rate, greasy offering that you wouldn't even feed your dog. Priory 17 is a new establishment in the heart of Christchurch. I say new, its actually been there for years but has just undergone a refurb and revamp. It is a cafe/restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and evening meals. Outside it is very well presented, looking clean and fresh with well displayed menus and several tables and chairs for alfresco dining, weather permitting. On entering I was greeted by a very friendly waitress who immediately made me feel at ease. I ordered a Cappuccino which was served in a massive cup and tasted divine - not bad for £2. I ordered a small breakfast consisting of a sausage, 2 rashers of bacon, beans, egg, mushrooms and 2 slices of granary toast for a reasonable price of £3.95. Because I was particularly hungry I ordered black pudding and bubble & squeak as extras at 90p - but to be honest my eyes were bigger than my belly! The menu advertised locally supplied sausages and bacon and they really were tasty, as were the mushrooms but the bubble & squeak was simply the best! I couldn't eat it all but it certainly did the job. All in all I found Priory 17 clean, friendly and welcoming with excellent quality food at reasonable rates and I would certainly go there again.
