As the days get brighter and London starts to warm up, our menus naturally shift towards lighter, fresher flavours. Spring brunches at The Black Penny are all about balance, with food that feels nourishing and satisfying without being heavy. Whether you’re stopping by for a relaxed brunch or looking for a healthy lunch option in London, spring is the perfect time to keep things clean, colourful, and seasonal.
Our all-day café menu is designed for flexibility, making it easy to choose a light lunch option or a more filling brunch depending on your day. Dishes focus on whole foods, fresh vegetables, and thoughtful combinations that support clean eating without feeling restrictive.
The Wild Mushroom and Polenta Hash is a great example of spring comfort done right. Soft polenta, seasonal mushrooms, salsa verde, rocket, parmesan, and a poached egg make a dish that feels indulgent yet balanced, which is ideal for a calorie-conscious lunch that doesn’t compromise on flavour.
For those who love variety, The Forager brings together sourdough toast, spinach, roasted tomatoes, portobello mushrooms, Black Penny beans, butterbean hummus, and a fresh tomato, parsley, and onion salad. It’s a go-to for anyone seeking fresh, plant-forward lunch options in London.
If you’re starting the day early or easing into brunch, our Bircher Muesli with apple, dried cranberries, and chia seeds offers a lighter, naturally energising choice.
From brunch to healthy lunch in London, spring at The Black Penny is about fresh ingredients, whole foods, and relaxed all-day dining.
