The best full English breakfast around! Reasonably priced and cooked perfectly by someone who knows they are doing. Not the best appointed cafe around BUT the food stands out among a dwindling number of proper British workman’s cafes

Great old school cafe in the very posh Parsons Green. Food is great value for money and they are very generous with the portions, perfect for a hangover. Good to see a cafe like this still open in this day and age, very relaxed unpretentious atmosphere. Bonus marks for having a TV showing the Italian Job (original Michael Caine version) which entertained me whilst I waited for my mate.

Ignore any of the reviews that say the food is not good enough. It’s one of the last surviving greasy spoons in Fulham, and it carries that flag proudly. Proper old school English caf’, with proper old school English prices. If you want a ponzy overpriced breakfast, then head to any one of the millions of places in the local area. If you just fancy some eggs, bacon, sausage, beans or whatever… then this place is a safe bet. Perfect after a boozy night.
