For something sweet, don't miss the triple chocolate brownie or warm Belgian waffle. And good news for families – kids under 13 eat free from the kids' menu when an adult orders a main.

If you're in the mood for a more laid-back drink, head upstairs and take in the view of Pendigo Lake.

The full restaurant menu's available too, so you can enjoy your favourites in a more laid-back setting.
Breakfast
Pendigo – 6am to 10am weekdays, 7am to 11am weekends
Kick off your morning with a stack of fluffy American-style pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, or go savoury with fresh bacon, sausages, and eggs just the way you like them. Fancy something lighter? There's porridge, pastries and cereals too. Hot drinks and fruit juice are included, and there's a full Starbucks range available if you're after something extra.
Tuck into the cooked breakfast for £16.95 or the continental for £12.95 – except for kids under 13, they eat for free!
