Holy Brunch joins Hammonds of Hull
EATERY OFFERS BREAKFAST, STEAKS AND SUNDAY LUNCH
ANOTHER independent eatery has joined the growing list of restaurants available to choose from in Hammonds of Hull food hall.
Holy Brunch Club only launched last year, first opening in Paragon Arcade in November. It is the latest venture of Jack Ryan, founder of local takeaways app Hull Kitchens.
Hammonds of Hull opened its doors in the first week of December and gradually since the new year, its artisanal foodhouse section has filled out with independent businesses.
Holy Brunch Club opened its eatery in the food hall on Tuesday, May 3. Co-owner Mac Lloyd said: “At HOH Food Hall we’ll have three main offerings. Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm there’ll be the classic Holy Brunch menu that everyone knows and loves, with hashes, avocado on artisanal toast, bacon, beans, sausage, halloumi, all of that good stuff. Choose a signature dish or combine your favourites and you have yourself the perfect brunch.
“Then there’s our Steak Club, which will run 6pm to 10pm and present only the very best steaks to fit all budgets.
“From juicy rump and mouthwatering sirloin to the luxurious chateaubriand, you can have your favourite cut of beef cooked however you like it.
“Make sure to treat yourself to some sides too, such as triple cooked chips, charred corn on the cob, wilted spinach with chilli flakes and buttered garden peas.
“Last but by no means least, on
Sundays, from 11.30am to 6pm, we’ll be serving up our celebrated Alternative Sunday Lunch. A massive Yorkshire pudding generously stuffed with meat, veg and gravy or a vegetarian filler. There’s no better way to spend your Sunday.”
The eatery has opened in Hammonds of Hull with a team of four, but new staff members are expected to be recruited soon.
Holy Brunch Club is among a host of other independent businesses that have joined the food hall in recent months, including Grilla Burger, Hangout Artisan Bakehouse, Oishii Ne Asian Food Co and Mr Hugo Smokehouse.
TRIBUTES are being paid to “gentleman” Hull sailor and charity worker Richard Blowman, who died in an accident during in a yacht race.
Richard, 45, was pulled from the water and pronounced dead at the scene off Keyhaven, Hampshire. Police are investigating and the death is not being treated as suspicious.
Richard was well-known for his charity work for the Steve Prescott Foundation, which was set up by the Hull rugby league legend. He was taking part in the BFA (British Finn Association) Finn Masters Race at Keyhaven Yacht Club when the alarm was raised, the Advertiser and Times website reported.
Karl Turner, Hull East MP, said
Richard was a “true gentleman”. He wrote: “Shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden and tragic death of my constituent Richard Blowman.
“Rich was a true gentleman. He did a great deal to raise monies for Steve Prescott Foundation. Very sad loss.”
The Steve Prescott Foundation wrote on Twitter: “It is with deepest sadness to hear about the loss of our great friend and long-term supporter Richard Blowman! Gentleman Rich sadly passed away sailing. A lifelong Hull KR fan, Rich will be sadly missed by his extended @SPFCHARITY family.”
Mr Blowman’s sister, Jillian, said her brother’s life was spent helping others and achieving “great things”. Writing on Facebook, she said: “The waters took you away. The waters you have been on for all of your life. An accident at sea but doing what you loved.
“Those last moments you had on your boat with the biggest smile knowing you’re accomplishing everything you have always wanted to do.”
A Hampshire police spokesperson said: “Crews from two rescue boats pulled the man from the water but he was later declared dead at the scene by a doctor. Police were called to the scene around 2.45pm. The death is not being treated as suspicious and an investigation into the circumstances which led to it is currently being carried out.”
Keyhaven Yacht Club said it was assisting and cooperating with the authorities and would be conducting an internal investigation.
