Asda Hyson Green

You wouldn't expect much from a supermarket café, but this place has quietly become the beating heart of Hyson Green's morning routine. The full English here is genuinely good – proper sausages, eggs cooked how you ask, and toast that doesn't taste like cardboard. The coffee's surprisingly decent too, and at these prices, you can afford to linger over a second cup while watching the neighbourhood wake up through the windows. What makes it work is the mix of people – students grabbing breakfast before lectures, elderly couples sharing a pot of tea, mums with pushchairs meeting friends. The staff know their regulars by name, and there's something refreshingly unpretentious about eating somewhere that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is: good, honest food at prices that won't break the bank.
