Customer Review Summary

The full English breakfast draws consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling it well cooked, excellent, and generously portioned, including one described as "the Full English Chef special" and another as the vegetarian English breakfast. Close behind is the value for money, with several diners noting it's economical or excellent price-performance for London. Coffee gets a mixed shrug, called average and "drinkable but obviously not their speciality" rather than a highlight. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and quick, and one reviewer notes the manager greets people browsing the outside menu without being pushy. One reviewer had a distinctly rougher visit, calling the serving small for the cost and describing a long wait where dishes arrived wrong and staggered, needing multiple requests before the meal came out. Most others, though, recall being seated promptly even when the cafe was busy, with one arriving at half seven before it filled up.

    “One of the few places open at 730 when I arrived. Got more crowded later in the morning. Food was fine. Coffee was average - drinkable but obviously not their speciality.”
