Weekend Breakfast at Moon Dog World

Overview

Moon Dog's sprawling Preston brewery and bar has fast become a go-to for boozy catch-ups, celebrations and beer sipping sessions. But now, it also has your morning feed sorted, too. The 700-capacity Moon Dog World is firing up the kitchen early, offering a dedicated breakfast menu from 8–11am every Saturday and Sunday.

It's a family-friendly affair, with a diverse spread of options you wouldn't normally expect from your local brewpub. Punters might be tempted by some smashed avo toast ($20), caramelised banana waffles ($18), or a smoked salmon poke bowl ($17). A Breakfast in Bread roll comes stuffed with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, onion jam and hickory smoked barbecue sauce, teamed with crunchy potato gems ($22). And you'll even spy a loaded brewer's breakfast, starring house-made beans, lamb merguez, potato gems, mushrooms, fried eggs and sourdough ($24) or a vegan version for $22.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to match your feed with a brekkie brew, as Moon Dog World's weekend booze service doesn't kick off until 11am. Though you will find a lineup of Coffee Supreme espresso, teas and fresh juices on offer instead. Or, for a dose of nostalgia, try the flavoured 'cereal milk', in either Rice Bubbles or Cornflakes.
