If you were wondering why so many locals order Bam Bam’s B+E Roll, a milk bun loaded with streaky bacon, fried egg, rocket, cheese and shoestring potatoes, the secret is in the sriracha. “The sriracha mayo is this addictive spice that everyone loves and knows,” owner Ursula Watts says. “Sriracha is so good with French fries, right? So we hand grate potatoes every morning to create the ultimate skinny shoestring, which is piled on to the roll. They’re so light and crisp and crunchy and just work perfectly with bacon. Finish with an epic pastry and you have the ultimate weekend pick-me-up.” Bam Bam also does a breakfast burger with pork sausage pattie, haloumi cheese, wild greens, red pepper jam, a two-egg omelet and warm milk bun.
