About The Runaway Spoon

Parkside brunch in Lindfield with hearty plates and a pet-friendly back porch. The kitchen turns out serious morning spreads—stacked corn fritters, Sonoma sourdough, and generous big breakfasts alongside loose-leaf teapots and velvety lattes. Seating spills out right next to the Lindfield Village Green, making it an easy drop-in for families, pram-pushers, and dog owners who appreciate zero Sunday surcharges. Tables fill fast for weekend catchups over plates of ricotta pancakes and sweet potato chips.

  • Parkside Porch & Easy Parking: Outdoor porch seating opens directly onto the Lindfield Village Green, steps from underground council parking.
  • Dog-Friendly Dining: A welcoming outdoor setup with ample room for pets, complete with puppiccinos on the menu.
  • No Sunday Surcharge: Weekend morning dining without penalty rates added to the bill.

    Outdoor porch dining directly overlooks Lindfield Village Green, creating a relaxed open-air atmosphere complemented by adjoining underground parking.

    Sitting on the back porch provided a lovely view of the village green that added to this great experience.

Substantial breakfast and lunch favourites crafted for generous dining

  • Big Breakfast

    the big breakfast is BIG. It was hard to finish, with a very generous portion of meats and giant mushroom it certainly lived up to its name, and tasted fantastic as well.
