Breakfast for Dinner with Bird Bird Biscuit
We're still anxiously waiting for Bird Bird Biscuit to open their brick-and-mortar on Manor, but until then we'll have to do with their delicious pop-ups. Take tonight's event, for example: Breakfast for Dinner, held at Hops & Grain, where you'll be able to buy some of their phenomenal breakfast sandwiches from 5 to 8pm. Pair it with one of the brewery's IPAs and you've got yourself a solid breakfast, er, dinner. Fri at 5pm
