Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently praise the full English breakfast and generous portions, with several noting easy swaps like hash browns for homestyle potatoes and a well-received hollandaise and maple syrup on pancakes. Close behind is the coffee, described as having a rich aroma and well-balanced flavor, and the diner-style atmosphere, called cosy, retro, and comfortable with roomy booths and plenty of seating compared to busier London locations. Service comes up again and again as friendly, attentive, and accommodating, with diners citing being seated without a reservation, being welcomed late near closing time, and phone staff helping ahead of a visit. One reviewer mentions needing to book well in advance on busier days, though quieter periods allowed walk-in seating. The experience consistently closes on repeat visits, with multiple reviewers stating plainly they will definitely be back.

“No matter when i visit (about once a year because i live abroad) the staff is super professional & welcoming. Food is great and I love the diner vibe. I highly recommend, nice place for traditional english breakfast or just a drink. Thank you 🙂 …”
- Jodie Toombs
“The food was absolutely delicious, generous portions and easy swaps like hash browns instead of the homestyle potatoes. Hollandaise was lovely and the maple syrup was available pretty much on tap if you finished your little pot (which my husband did after one pancake 🫣)Servers really friendly - I rang ahead of visiting and the girl I spoke to on the phone was super helpful and friendly. We’d previously been to a London Breakfast Club and it was so busy and we were tightly packed in. This place was perfect with lots of seating. Will definitely be going back!!”
- Hayley J
“After a hen do weekend, we were desperate to find somewhere to replenish us and by chance I came across this place - sounds like you usually have to book well in advance but for Easter Sunday it was quieter so managed to get a table. Food, Drinks and service was great, would definitely come back again.”
