About Chunnel Bar
On Lower Marsh in London, Chunnel Bar is a small diner-style restaurant serving breakfast throughout the day. The full English, also called the All Day Breakfast, is the recurring order, often paired with a cappuccino, and a vegetarian breakfast and omelette are also on offer. Fish and chips also appears on the menu. The business is family-run, and waiters bring food to the table rather than a counter setup. Seating is walk-in, with no reservations taken. The location sits close to Waterloo.

Customer Review Summary
The full English breakfast draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling it fresh, hearty, and reasonably priced, and several singling out the all day breakfast and the vegetarian breakfast as standouts. Close behind, the coffee gets specific attention, with one reviewer raving about the cappuccino and another surprised at how much they enjoyed two cups. The staff, described as a caring family-run team, are noted often for being friendly and welcoming, with mentions of quick service and generous portions near Waterloo. One dissenting review describes a different experience, with eggs "swimming in oil," mouldy bread, and chips fried in stale oil, though that same reviewer still found the bacon crispy and the beans decent. Another notes the tables were clean but felt the place could use more organization. Repeat visits and return trips for the fish and chips are mentioned by multiple diners.

“We had a wonderful English breakfast at Chunnel Bar and really enjoyed our experience! The food was absolutely delicious 😋 We had the vegetarian breakfast and an omelette, and everything was fresh and tasty. The lady working there was also so lovely and welcoming. She even kindly took some photos of us, which was such a nice touch. We also really enjoyed the Lower Marsh area. It feels much more local and relaxed, with far fewer tourists than some of the more central areas of London. The nearby Graffiti Tunnel was another highlight and made the visit even more fun. Overall, it was such a cozy and enjoyable breakfast, with great food and wonderful service. We would definitely come back! 💓”

“Average at best. The eggs were swimming in oil, the bread was mouldy, and the chips tasted as if they had been fried in oil that hadn’t been changed for at least a week. The baked beans were decent, and the bacon was nicely cooked and crispy.”

“It was lovely. Best place I've been in London. The "staff" was very friendly and cared for us, and the food was on another level. I was here with my friend who lives in London and we both had the all day full english breakfast. The Cappuccino was CRAZY good and coming from an Italian it means a lot. Really recommend if in search of the best english experience.💖”
