"In 2011, Art and Chelsea Jackson opened Pleasant House Bakery, specializing in flaky, golden baked British pies stuffed with flavorful combinations like steak and ale stew made with carrots and shallots, or chicken Balti, a warm, comforting curry. Since 2016, the Jacksons added Pleasant House Pub, where the pair expanded on their repertoire with even more wholesome British fare."
"I recommend the Royal English Breakfast ($16), a magnificent platter of fried eggs, baked beans, grilled tomato, roasted mushrooms, sourdough toast, butter, jam, and some truly succulent sausages, complete with a square of crispy, spongy, traditional blood pudding."
"Pleasant House Pub's patio area is covered, cozy, and bright, imparting a feeling of being outdoors without being fully outdoors; it's delightful on cold winter days. The inside is cute and quaint with comfortable seating, a prominent bar area, and sunny tables for families with strollers."
Pleasant House Pub, which opened in 2016 as an expansion of Pleasant House Bakery established in 2011, specializes in authentic British cuisine.

The Royal English Breakfast includes fried eggs, baked beans, grilled tomato, roasted mushrooms, sourdough toast, sausages, and blood pudding.
