A cafe says it will rename a breakfast in honour of teenage darts sensation Luke Littler after he visited for the most important meal of the day. The 17-year-old sat down for breakfast at Truffles in Ironbridge, Shropshire, on Saturday morning. The next day he went on to win the Grand Slam of Darts with a 16-3 thrashing of Martin Lukeman in Wolverhampton. Owner Jenny Barratt told BBC Radio Shropshire her tasty meal could have been the fuel that sparked his success.
