Take in water views while enjoying café fare with flair at Common Grounds on Swan Street in Morpeth. Nestled beside the Hunter River, this is the ideal place to enjoy fresh local food, great coffee and company as locals and visitors alike catch up over a drink and lively conversation - sit a spell on the verandah or dine indoors where a full glass frontage offers just as spectacular vistas. Breaky tempters like spiced dukkah poached eggs, halloumi, mushrooms and avocado on sourdough with chilli jam and chermoula are sure to tempt, or smoked salmon blini, with smashed avocado, whipped feta and fried capers. The lunch crowd gathers over dishes such as a marinated rump steak sandwich, with caramelised onion, tomato relish, rocket and smoked cheese on toasted Turkish with beer-battered chips.
