ABC Wednesday: E is for Eating

E is for Eating

When I posted a photograph of the Clarendon Café in September 2010 it was still owned by a Greek couple who had run it for a number of years.

The place has changed ownership at least a couple of time since then and was recently closed, but has now re-opened under the name "Bake 'n' Butty". It is open from 7.30 am until early afternoon most days. The inside has been completely turned round and seems less cramped than it did previously.

For a view of its extensive menu see Hyde DP Xtra.
