Sam MMarch 4, 2015The best Full English I've had in my life, friendly if loud service, old skool vibe, wonderfully cheap, like a relic from a bygone era and an essential place to visit in London.

Stephanie WongMay 12, 2016Order at the counter before taking a seat. Remember to listen for your name/order after you sit. The staff will call out your name/order when its ready to be picked up at the counter.

BiancaFebruary 24, 2017An authentic place for an English breakfast with the locals. Or with the tourists 😁 Place is famous so be prepared to wait 20 mins at least, during the week. Nice experience, try it!

DannJuly 4, 2017English breakfast was freshly made and tasty in general except for their sausage tasted a little bit bland to me. Staffs were all friendly and professional. Highly recommend!
Upvote2Downvote- The food is great "greasy spoon" fare and the chips are some of the best you can get. A proper old-school cafe. Have some of the best food (and tea) in the capital.
