The Sky Bar Sunday Brunch at Hook & Ladder is officially on the calendar, and if you’ve been looking for a reason to head to Conshohocken on a Sunday, this is it. Starting April 12, Hook & Ladder Sky Bar at Hotel West & Main launches a brand-new weekly Sunday brunch service, running from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM with reservations available on OpenTable. The menu is bold, indulgent, and chef-driven — exactly the kind of brunch that makes a Sunday feel like an occasion.
Hook & Ladder Sky Bar has built a reputation on elevated American cuisine, creative craft cocktails, and some of the best views in the borough. Set inside Hotel West & Main, the space pays homage to its history as the Washington Fire Company through industrial design elements that give it a character most suburban dining rooms can’t touch. The Sunday brunch debut adds a new dimension to what is already one of the more distinctive dining destinations on the Main Line.
Sky Bar Sunday Brunch Menu Highlights
The Sky Bar Sunday Brunch menu leans fully into two of the defining brunch trends of 2026: chef-crafted, gourmet breakfast sandwiches and brunch dishes that blur the line between meal and dessert. The days of avocado toast as the peak of brunch ambition are behind us, and Hook & Ladder is here to make that case in the most direct way possible — with a menu that demands you show up hungry.
The Brunch Burger is the centerpiece: a stacked build layered with avocado, crispy bacon, and a perfectly runny egg. It’s the kind of burger that earns its place on a brunch menu not by compromise but by conviction. The Lobster Benedict brings the luxury play — a rich, properly executed take on a classic that signals Executive Chef Ed Hancock isn’t approaching this as an afterthought. And the Cinnamon Crunch French Toast is the dish that fully delivers on the dessert-for-brunch moment, the sort of plate that photographs well but, more importantly, eats even better.

Then there’s the Milk Monkey Bread — warm, tossed in cinnamon sugar, and finished with cream cheese frosting. It’s the kind of shareable, pull-apart dish that anchors a table and sets the tone for a relaxed, indulgent Sunday. As a through-line across the Sky Bar Sunday Brunch menu, the approach is consistent: familiar formats executed with kitchen credibility and a clear point of view.
Meet the Chef Behind Sky Bar Sunday Brunch
The Sky Bar Sunday Brunch menu is the work of Executive Chef Edward Hancock, who brings over 33 years of hotel kitchen experience to Hotel West & Main. Chef Ed most recently led the culinary team at Sofitel Philadelphia for nearly eight years, where he earned a reputation for sourcing the finest local ingredients, assembling elite culinary teams, and staying relentlessly current in an industry that rewards standing still with irrelevance. During his tenure at the Sofitel, he implemented a rooftop garden and beehive for seasonal honey and produce — a detail that tells you something about both his philosophy and his work ethic.
Chef Ed’s culinary instincts were shaped early. He grew up on a farm where farm-to-table cooking wasn’t a trend but simply how food worked, and he was cooking and experimenting with flavors by age seven. He went on to study Food Science at Delaware Valley College and attended the Philadelphia Restaurant School, beginning his restaurant career at Jake’s in Manayunk, where he won the exclusive La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs dinner of the year and was awarded three bells by Craig LeBan. That combination of academic grounding, early hands-on experience, and a track record of culinary honors makes him the right person to anchor an ambitious new brunch program.
