Here we are at Thieving Harry's
Run and set up by two families this cafe is bringing you some of the best views and food delights in Hull.
Their hard work had paid off with what is now a Hull foodie staple.
Okay I admit it in my eyes anyway.
 
Harry's has a laid back set-up based in Hull on the marina a Humber Street corner no less!
Where we all enjoy the revels of Hulls festivals and sunny days.
 
Harry's started as a pop-up cafe three years on set roots so we could all get our fix of what's good for us on a more regular basis.

From their counter of cakes when you walk in (which entice you in) to coffee and San Pellegrino which a rare find in Hull and are a personal fave.
To the most amazing pancakes with bacon and syrup to burgers a with a house root slaw that just sounds amazing and toasted sandwiches with such things as screaming Harry's hot sauce nothing better than a hit kick.
 
Lucky enough to have two floors Harry's has space and lots of it,for dinning and relaxing alike nothing Harry's offers fails.
 
If you see someone in Harry's you know it was via word of mouth over how it takes you back to childhood and makes you feel right at home and I bet they are regulars. There is nothing pretentious about Harry's it's where the heart is it's down to earth with a little of a wonder to it.

Personally I love nothing more than biking there pulling up and dipping in to see what cakey heavens are on show.
 
Serving breakfast from the early hour of 8am right through to 4pm then coffee and cake still till closing at 6pm Wednesday to Sunday you'll have plenty of time and no excuses not to get there and eat drink and enjoy!
 
Harry's is the way forward you'll never not go back the staff the place the food are all perfectly matched you can sit and reminisce of festivals gone with the quirks and quivers of great times had!  
 
Here are a few fave photos of mine of Harry's

Hello and welcome back
Hello to all my new readers and a big hello to people who have been following me sins I started writing cooking and blogging.

I wanted to feature some lovely buys from Cornwall as well as some treats we bought on the Sundays when we attended
LIVING NORTHS SHOW
At York Racecourse
Roses oodles of roses.

Cornish Wear totally classic
Find it here

 A playful Mousehole mug
Although I may have to refrain from buying more china wear as the cupboards a little full.
Sat next to them are some
Rick Stein coasters
See the site here for other products

Edinburgh Gin's
Rhubarb and Ginger Liqueur
I have to admit I am not one for Gin
I hate it actually.
However I sae this on the Sunday at the Racecourse and wanted to try it.
Happily I can say this is not like any other gin
I am pretty sure people with lesser taste would prefer a less well made product.
The mix of Rhubarb and Ginger is very light sweet and maybe a little to easy to drink
(In a very good way may I add)

Grandad loved Dandelion and Burdock
as do I.
After all Darling it's a
VINTAGE CORDIAL
Walkin past a stall wracked with bottles I was going t pass by but something stopped me.
Firstly it was the label.
It looks authentically drawn up the man on the stall had plenty of history to tell me.
I then had a taste a totally DELSH wonder
I bought it and await a good whisky to g with it.

Hello and welcome back to 
The Early Bird Eater 
Lifestyle and food blog
If you often read my blog you'll know I have a dog called Shadow.
If you don't well here is a little background on Shadow.
I took him on around four years ago and he is a great edition to the family he had been with one family sins he was a puppy and I took him on as the family could no longer have him.

Recently we got back from a trip to Cornwall and took Shadow with us we was not sure if he had even been on holiday so did not know what to expect.

Happily Shadow had a great time.

I took along some of Browns Dog Food

Here is a little information about Browns
and the benefits of giving it to your dog.

Brown’s Pet Range are the first British company to include MacroGard® in their food.

The inclusion of MacroGard® in your pets diet helps them balance their defences, which allows a more efficient protection against challenges they may face.
  • Enhances natural defences, preparing them for the challenges ahead
  • Helps to reduce the risks and severity of bacterial, parasitic and viral diseases
  • It contributes for a better health status, optimising the efficiency of vaccines.
  • Activates the white blood corpuscles and thereby strengthens the immune system.
We opted for the Light and sensitive as Shadow is quite delicate with getting older
