I met James Kane from @KanesTeaRooms and the food was great

A few weeks ago I saw that @KanesTeaRooms was advertising that their 100th follower on Twitter would receive a free breakfast. Being an ex-student, I’m always keen to get something for nothing.

I hit that Follow Button, and I am the 100th follower. I waited a little while, simply because I have just moved home and I had other things to deal with (some of which I will be blogging soon).

I decided that Saturday was going to be the day I would visit, and I walked up to find them.

I looked them up on Twitter to get the address:

(0151) 298 1415

I had a little difficulty finding it at first, as I don’t know the area. However if you’re looking you will find them between the two entrances to T.J. Hughes.

Once inside, I walked up to the counter and asked for James who promptly appeared from his kitchen. He greeted me with a smile and told me I could have anything I want from the menu.

At this point I was rather hungry, and I had a traditional full english breakfast with a pot of Earl Grey tea (black no sugar).

I sat down with my pot of tea, and poured myself a cup and began to enjoy my rest and update Twitter as you would expect.

After a few minutes a plate filled with eggs, bacon sausages and accompanied by toast was brought to my table. It looked and smelled delicious and I began eating.

After a few minutes James, came out once more and started talking to me. We talked about his recent search for a vocal coach, about a cake recipe he had gotten from a friend on Twitter and about a guitar he bought for £47 when he was younger (don’t drop any money ).

He recommended a few people to follow on Twitter and also mentioned that he would be getting Wi-Fi in the restaurant soon. He said they had offered to set it up for him for £100 and I said I’d happily do it for him. So there may be a new story to come.

I know you’re probably wondering about the food, so let me show you the result.
