Grand Central Kitchen

You know that feeling when you're rushing through the city centre and desperately need somewhere decent to eat that isn't a chain? That's exactly what Grand Central Kitchen sorts out for you. Tucked on Stephenson Street, it's become the go-to for anyone who wants proper food without the pretence - whether you're grabbing breakfast before work or meeting mates for a late lunch. The menu leans heavily into British comfort food done well, and they've clearly worked out that opening at half six in the morning means they get the early commuters and the night shift workers heading home. It's the kind of place where you can rock up in your work clothes or weekend scruff and feel equally at home. With over 2,000 people giving it nearly five stars, they're clearly doing something right.
