"An original Formica cafe, this place is one of the last of a distant memory of what caff's used to be like. We recommend Set 3, white toast, and tea (the tea comes from an urn – very cool.)" - Kin

Authentic local breakfast / lunch place.
Multiple options for breakfast and lunch, typically visited by the locals with a very good price/ quality.
Had breakfast number 1 - but replaced the eggs with extra bacon. No reservation, and I will go back for a quick breakfast

Loved it. This is a really nice family run cafe. Nothing fancy, just solid food served with care, courtesy and a smile. Nice atmosphere and a spotless kitchen. I had a giant jacket potato for £7 but they do good burgers, all day breakfasts, omelettes and a few specials. All portions are man sized!! Plus they don't charge service. Definitely worth a visit if you want a simple home cooked meal.

Cane for breakfast and loved every minute, servers are lovely, Andy’s breakfast and the full English both fantastic - love that they come with coffee and toast. We also got bubble and squeak - well you have to. A definite thumbs up👍

I can't even begin to express how much I would love to give those Benedict eggs a perfect 5/5 simply for the sheer amount of veggies that come on the side. The portions are incredibly generous and the food is absolutely delicious.

We returned a few years later and my original review still stands. The best value for money and good honest food.

It was a complete surprise to discover an old style working man's cafe in central London. I went around 10:00 am on a weekend morning.The cafe was crowded with tall burly men wearing shorts, boots and Tee Shirts bearing the names and logos of their employers. A steady stream of eggs, bacon, toast etc. emerged from the kitchen. I had the veggie brek which was excellent with the exception of the mushrooms which were clearly not fresh.
In addition to the list of breakfast options, other meal options such as grilled lamb, spaghetti, shepherds pie etc. were available.
Go here for excellent cheap food, especially fry ups. Not really a date venue

Going since 1960 according to it's sauce bottles, this place is a gem. Managing to be bustling and busy, and yet and the same time relatively tranquil. Friendly, attentive staff. Good, strong coffee. Decent food at excellent value. Dump the boring chains, come here instead. Top stuff.
