Where to Get Breakfast in Bodmin

Short answer: GRIDL does some of the best cooked breakfasts in Cornwall with huge portions; Soul Kitchen serves hearty breakfasts all day with unusually long opening hours, and is dog-friendly.

The two to know

• GRIDL Breakfast — easy to miss, tucked into a pub, and doing some of the best cooked breakfasts in Cornwall. Portions are huge and the care shows on every plate. This is the one for a proper fry-up before a big day.
• Soul Kitchen — a Portuguese café-restaurant serving hearty breakfasts all day, with opening hours that run unusually late for Cornwall. Dogs are welcome, and it's the answer when breakfast turns into brunch turns into lunch.

Pair it with the day

Bodmin breakfasts are fuel for something. The obvious pairing is the Camel Trail: eat, then ride or walk the old railway line towards Wadebridge on a full stomach. On a wet morning, the Jail and the town's indoor options are in the rainy-day guide.

Later in the day

For lunch it's the pasty verdict, and for supper the chippy question. More in the Bodmin guide.

Breakfast hours shift with the seasons and small cafés sometimes close a day or two a week out of summer — if one place is the whole plan, check before you go. Spotted something we've got wrong? Tell us and we'll fix it.
