Up next in our series of the best and worst reviewed eateries is the iconic cafe and ice cream parlour Brucciani's - a historic spot that's sadly failing to live up to its potential 🍨

with me and she told me that when she was a young girl her aunt would occasionally take her shopping to town and they’d have tea and cake at Brucciani’s.

Mr Brucciani would good-naturedly harrumph his way past us, but never made us leave as long as we’d all bought one of the tiny cups of tea each at some point. The nicotine stained decor had seen better days, and there was only one toilet, which was a little cubicle at the back of the cafe, with frosted glass in the window so that everyone in the cafe could see the vague shape of whoever was caught short, as they used the facilities.

It was as much part of a Prestonian teen’s Christmas tradition as getting a piece of skin trapped in a nutcracker whilst trying to open a walnut that we didn’t want, because it wouldn’t have been Christmas without it. I asked for a full English breakfast at £7.95 that was allegedly served all day, but was told that although it was only 2.30pm the kitchen had stopped taking cooked food orders.

Her plate was piled high with prawns, fresh poached salmon and what looked like an entire packet of smoked salmon. There were two pots of Marie Rose sauce, a wedge of lemon and a side salad that was a little more substantial than mine.The slice of bread came pre-marged, or whatever unpleasant spread was used, which was disappointing as we’d specifically asked if they used real butter and were told they did.
