Starbucks Bakery

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

Bread,
Staff of life,
Crusty white,
Granary, wholemeal,
Sliced or slice it yourself,
Spread thickly with
Creamy English butter,
And jam to taste,
Or liberal helpings
Of smoked salmon,
Ham or cheese with chutney.
You won’t go hungry here.

Sunflower

Friday, May 15th, 2009
A fusion of English
And Oriental cuisine
Blossoms at the Sunflower.
Chose chips or
Chose chicken curry,
Just a few of the delights
Presented on your plate,
For the approval
Of the palate.

Burton Spice

Thursday, May 14th, 2009
The food here,
Is hot stuff
If you can take it,
Or simply tasty
If you can’t,
Delivered to your door
If you can’t make it
In person,
Deep karma
In the form of
Chicken korma
Tikkas all
The right boxes.

The Burton Road Strip

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

The strip,
Furious confluence of disposable society,
Magnet for irreverents,
Cruising ground for hungry souls,
Melting pot for a global fondue,
Curry, Chinese, fish and chips,
Full English breakfast,
Even pork pies and sandwiches
From the Shell garage.
On your way home from the pub,
You can satisfy your needs
On the Burton Road Strip.
