Customer Review Summary

Baked eggs, which one diner calls essentially a shakshuka, are the dish reviewers return to most. Close behind are the bacon, described as thick and salty with just the right bark, and the coffee, where a former coffee shop owner praised the single blend roast while another found a burnt taste. Pancakes were the one good part of one fry-up, and one diner gave five stars to the jamon croquettes and salmon rice bowl. Staff are called friendly and the atmosphere nice, though some note slow food and a wait for the bill. The sharpest complaints concern the kitchen: hot smoked salmon smelled strongly fishy, eggs ordered well done arrived runny twice, a peach bellini was thick and light on prosecco, and a fry plate had a poor tomato and knives too blunt to cut. After the salmon complaint, the manager explained the cooking style and offered a discount on the bill.

    “I searched for some healthy food venues in my area at the time, and Caravan London Bridge was the top suggestion. I decided on the baked eggs (Which was essentially a Shakshuka) along with an American. I very much enjoyed this meal, and it provided for a good wholesome breakfast which was also on the healthy side. The staff were also friendly, but I found I did have to wait around before getting my bill. This was however not a dealbreaker, as the atmosphere was nice.”

    “The peach bellini i was served was half a glass, had the tiniest bit of prosecco in it and was as thick as double cream, i had to order a second glass of prosecco to balance it out. The eggs i asked for well done were served runny -twice. I couldn’t eat anything. Such a disappointment, the waiter said theyre working with reduced staff in the kitchen apparently but eggs are not a difficult item. Price was about £50+ for a terrible experience, good luck you guys.”

    “Rarely writing reviews but I think this one is necessary. I ordered the hot smoked salmon and eggs on toast. As someone who is very familiar with salmon and smoked salmon, I found the fish here very disappointing. Although I am more used to cold-smoked salmon, the cooked texture of this salmon was not the issue. It lacked any noticeable smoky aroma and instead carried a strong, unpleasantly fishy smell of oxidation. After taking just two bites to confirm the weird taste, I left most of the salmon untouched. When I gently mentioned to the staff that it wasn't what I expected, the manager/chef came out and politely explained it was a different cooking style different from cold smoked salmon. I mentioned the salmon tastes fermented (which is basically me trying to say “smelly” in a gentle way). He said yes, it should taste like that. I found this funny, and thanked his clarification to end this conversation. He also offered a small discount, like 20%, at checkout at the end. While I appreciate their good service attitude and the gesture on the bill, the taste of the fish raised concerns about freshness or handling. As for the front-of-house service, it was a mixed bag. The waitress who served me was nice and attentive—definitely worth 5 stars. However, the waiter who welcomed me and took my order was somehow dismissive.”

    “Booked on First Table (paid £6 to book which gave us 50% off food) on a Saturday night - so extremely good value. Paid £65 for 2 people including desserts and a drink each... Atmosphere is nice. Staff are nice. Ordered 5 sharing dishes and they all arrived at the same time. Food was delicious! - Jamon croquettes: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Padron Peppers: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐ - Salmon Rice Bowl: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Broken Lamb Meatballs: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (still very nice but not WOW) - Broccoli 🥦: ⭐⭐⭐⭐(it's just broccoli, but seasoned and cooked very well. The Ice cream and sorbet was yummy too”

    “The best coffee, and the best bacon I've ever had! Ran a coffee shop for a few years so have tried a few beans...the single blend roast they had on today was exceptional. And then the bacon... Sonnets could be written about this. Thick, salty, flavoursome and just the right ammount of bark. Staff were polite, attentive without being pushy and its a lovely space. Would happily go back (may do before I fly home)!”
