— New Year's Day 2027 · At Horatio's —

The morning after the night before.


Brunch at Horatio's on New Year's Day. Bubbly, Bloody Marys, and everything Chef Peter Ashby can plate up to make Friday feel like a very small victory.

The gentlest possible landing

Let 2027 arrive at its own pace.

There's a particular kind of morning that comes after New Year's Eve — quieter, brighter, slightly slower. That's the morning we've built this brunch for.

Bring the people you saw the year out with. Come as you are — pyjamas welcome, no judgement. We'll pour the drinks, put breakfast on the table, and let the year begin with more grace than caffeine.

What awaits you

Three good reasons to come down.

🥂

The Drinks

FROM THE BAR

Bubbly, Bloody Marys, mimosas made with the good orange juice, and coffee that actually pulls its weight. Something for however yesterday landed.

🍳

The Menu

BY HEAD CHEF PETER ASHBY

A full traditional breakfast, Steak & Eggs, scrambled eggs & smoked salmon, Panettone French toast — plus vegetarian and vegan plates. Comfort food, plated with care.

The Pace

NO RUSH, NO DRESS CODE

Roll in any time between 8am and midday. Come early for a slow coffee by the window, come later for one last pancake. Sunday-morning energy on a Friday.
