There’s a famous quote; “To eat well in England you should have breakfast three times a day”. That’s no longer the case, but when I’m out the country for a long period of time, the meal I miss the most is an full English breakfast. I also love places that are trapped in time and greasy spoon cafes with their aging decor often tick that box perfectly. Nobody in London has visited more greasy spoons than I have. Here’s a list of my top places to go for a fry up in London.
Find a Google Map link here.
1. Regency Cafe
📍Westminster. One of the most well-known greasy spoons in London. Famously featured in the films ‘Brighton Rock’ and ‘Layer Cake’. It has a beautiful art deco front, fixed brown seating and faded sports posters – it just looks the part. Every aspect of the fry-up is on point here – good sausage, crispy bacon, crispy hash browns, egg cooked perfectly. They also serve a great fish & chips on a Friday. Since COVID they no longer put sauces on the table and do it for you before handing the plate over, which is a bit disappointing. I’ve seen people bringing their own now and respect the move. The cafe changes hands earlier this year but everything has been kept very much the same. Except big queues at lunch and on weekends. Last visit 20/09/2025. Watch the reel here.
2. The Ritz Cafe
📍Hammersmith. My favourite West London cafe. The fry-up here is very similar to Regency Cafe but you won’t have to queue for it. Good quality sausage and everything cooked perfectly. Inside it looks the part with the classic fixed blue seating. The Turkish owners are very friendly too.
3. Billingsgate Cafe
📍Poplar. Open from 03:00am-08:00am-ish six days a week. This place is awkward as hell to get to from Canary Wharf – whichever way you go it’s a fifteen minute walk and you can’t park Lime bikes here. The breakfast is absolutely quality though. For £13 you get one sausage, three bacon, beans, two hashbrowns, mushrooms, two eggs, five scallops in garlic butter, two toast and one fried slice under the eggs. They also serve a very popular scallop and bacon roll too.
4. Beppe’s Cafe
📍Farringdon. Beppe’s Cafe (est 1932), Farringdon. Lovely caf, nice people, and a great fry-up – so I’ll let it slide that they ran out of beans one time (the most important item imo) and forgot my sausage another time.
5. E Pellici
📍Bethnal Green. E Pellici (est 1900) is an East End institution. It’s still one of London’s finest cafs but probably the most expensive greasy spoon Full English in London at £16+ (with tea added). Good pasta dishes too. Consistent queues so come early on weekdays. Avoid weekends.
6. Electric Cafe
📍Tulse Hill. This has got to be one of the most beautiful shopfronts for a greasy spoon on the list. The cafe itself was established around 1905 and it’s been run by a lovely Greek Cypriot family for just over forty years now. Like the signage, inside it feels completely trapped in time too. The fry-up itself is good, they serve a proper sausage and the portions are big.
7. Terry’s Cafe
📍Southwark. Terry’s is a family run cafe in Southwark. Terry is no longer around but it’s run by his son Austin. This greasy spoon is another contender for one of the most famous cafes in the city and now a popular tourist destination. You can quickly see why – the whole place is an ode to Great Britain. Some of the memorabilia inside is incredible. As for the breakfast – Terry’s serve one of the best sausages out of any cafe in the city. The bacon is a little under-done for me and they don’t get the fat crispy the way I like it but everything else is perfect. It’s a little pricy for a breakfast but it’s more of a slower sit-down and enjoy yourself spots and food is good quality. They’re also one of the few cafes on this list that serve beer.
8. The River Cafe
📍Putney Bridge. With 1960s decor in perfect condition, River Cafe near Putney Bridge doesn’t age. It’s been used many times for a Chelsea FC photo shoot. The cafe is run by a lovely old Italian couple. Last time I went it was £11.60 for a Full-English (with tea, juice, toast + added black pudding). The sausage is a bit of a let down but the breakfast is cooked with love.
9. Dino’s Cafe
📍Leyton. Where to get a full English, chicken korma or Christmas dinner between 02:30-10:30am? It’s @dinoscafe_e10 of course. Located at the back of New Spitalfields Market so you don’t have much reason to be here unless you’re dealing in fruit & veg… or chasing the high of eating a Christmas dinner for breakfast. As you can see the fry-up on point.
10. Astral Cafe
📍Pimlico. Two eggs, bacon, sausage, homemade chips, beans, black pudding, two toast, & tea for £8.70. This place couldn’t be in a more unfortunate location being just a stones throne away from London’s iconic Regency Cafe, but that said, the place was packed. The sausage here is massive and good quality, the homemade chips are great too, and so are the prices. The bacon was little under-done but other than that a solid breakfast.
11. The Hole in the Wall Cafe
📍Barnet. The Hole In The Wall Cafe, Barnet. This caf is an absolute gem. Although the current owner has “only” been here for forty ears, the place dates all the way back to circa 1935 making it Barnet’s oldest cafe. I went for a set 1 and added black pudding. The total came to £10. Everything was cooked well (I asked for the bacon well done), especially the egg. The sausage, which came from Smithfield Market was 10/10 – I think it’s the same they have at Beppe’s. On top of that, they also serve pie & mash with liquor which comes from Goddard’s of Greenwich. The only downside to the caf is all the Gooner memorabilia on the walls.
12. Max Cafe
Lovely dated decor inside. I’m a big fan of the speckled blue tables especially. The full English is £10 and comes with tea & toast (I had to add black pudding – £1.50). The sausage is decent quality, the bacon was cooked nice and crispy, the tomato was cooked perfectly too. The only letdown was the mushrooms which were slightly underdone. Max seems well liked by regulars. A quality greasy spoon.
13. Mary’s Cafe
📍Camberwell. An institution in Camberwell since 1965. You can always spot a breakfast at Mary’s from the distinct bright yellow tables. The breakfast is good and plates come loaded.
14. Breakout Cafe
📍Pentonville. Opposite Pentonville Prison. The first place you’d come after release. A pretty solid fry-up – great Cumberland sausage, crispy bacon, no runny beans, golden mushroom, crispy hash browns. The only let down for me was the egg (I hate it when it’s done this way) and the amount of beans. All this with tea & toast = £12.60. Horrible flag flying outside.
15. Half Moon Cafe
📍Hammersmith. £9.20 for two sausage, two bacon, two hash browns, beans, mushrooms, two eggs, toast & tea. I had to add black pudding for £1 extra. This is only a few doors down from the Portuguese greasy spoon, Cafe Barca, which visited last week. Everything was cooked right but they lose points on the cheap quality sausage. Breakfast here start at only £6.20 which is a great deal. This might be the first Indian-owned cafe out of the 70 I’ve visited so far.
16. Cosy Cafe
📍Newham. This is the first caf I’ve been to that’s located on a completely residential street. I went for the Cosy Breakfast for £6.50 which came with 1 sausage, 2 bacon, 1 egg, beans, bubble and a fried slice. After adding black pudding and tea the total came to £8.80. Positives; proper caf, great atmosphere, friendly service, great price, nice bubble. Negatives; cheap sausage (although I found out after that I could have upgraded it to a proper sausage), bacon could be a little more crispy. Watch the reel here.
17. Darcy’s Cafe
📍Hillingdon. In my opinion ‘Darcy’s Big Boy’ is pretty much the perfect fry-up. Two sausage, two bacon, two eggs, two black pudding, beans, mushrooms, tomato, tea and toast for £13.90. Positives; basically everything. Negatives; the shape of the plate and it being all the way out in Hillingdon. Last visit 26/08/25. Watch the reel here.
18. Riccardo’s Cafe
📍Liverpool Street. Five minutes walk from Liverpool Street Station. Egg, bacon, sausage, chips, beans, black pudding, tea & toast for only £9. Everything cooked perfectly, decent sausage. Hell of deal in this part of town. Love the signage out front and yellow fixed seating like a 90s McDonald’s too.
19. Chunnel Bar
📍Waterloo. Did you know that ‘Chunnel’ is the nickname for the Channel Tunnel? From 1994 when it opened until 2007, the Eurostar used to run from Waterloo instead of Kings Cross, which how this cafe got its name. Despite the disappointing recent update of the shopfront (it was beautiful before), the breakfast was very good. The sausages are high quality from a butchers in Smithfield Market, the black pudding was standout, and everything was cooked well. The breakfast was around £14.50 with toast, and two teas (something I’ve not seen before). This is the second cafe on Lower Marsh (the other being Marie’s Cafe – a Thai run greasy-spoon). Chunnel Bar is run by a nice Armenian couple who have owned the place for a year and a half, after previously owning another cafe. The lady serving me explained to me “a good breakfast is all about a good sausage”, which I’d have to agree – it make’s all the difference.
20. Andrew’s Cafe
📍Holborn. The Full English is around £11.80 once you add black pudding (tea and toast included, black pudding not included). I had to request one of the classic white plates because for some reason they’ve introduced these new ugly coloured plates into rotation (I’ve seen a few cafs doing this now and it never looks good). Good egg, good sausage, bacon nice & crispy. Black pudding a little on thin side and over-cooked, hashbrowns a little under-done too. Still a solid fry-up and always a buzzing atmosphere with local workers whenever I’m in here, any day of the week.
21. Rise & Dine Cafe
📍Lambeth. This cafe was only 5 months old when I visited. The prices are low and much of the crowd was still working class. I went for the Big Brekkie for £11.99 which came with two eggs, two smoked bacon, two sausage, beans, tomato, mushroom, chips or hash browns & sliced bread. Positives: good quality sausage (and two of them!), great price for the quality, beautiful eggs, good amount of beans, great vibe and friendly owner. Negatives: No black pudding on the menu (however they have since added it) and plate a little small. Last visit 20/08/2025. Watch the reel here.
22. Kennington Lane Cafe
📍Vauxhall. Family-run for thirty years, super friendly owner/staff, full of builders. This breakfast will set you back £11 with tea and toast. The sausage was good quality, although maybe slightly overcooked and I could have done with some more beans, but overall it was good fry-up. If you’re eating-in then it’s table service, and if there’s a spare seat on your table the waitress might join you for a chat. Up there with my top South London cafs.
23. Arches Cafe
📍Bethnal Green. Arches Cafe is under ten minutes walk from E Pellicci so a great option if you don’t want to queue. The owner is born and raised in Mile End but now lives in Essex. It’s £13.50 for the Full English which comes with sausage, two bacon, egg, tomato, mushrooms, beans, tea and toast – no potato item and I had to add black pudding. It’s all about the sausage here which comes from a farm shop near where the owner lives. Everything was cooked well. The egg wasn’t pretty but was still runny. Last visit 01/07/2025.
24. Cafe Barca
📍Hammersmith. The breakfast here is only £8.95 and gets you two sausage, two bacon, two eggs, tomato, chips, beans & tea (I added black pudding but they didn’t charge me). Good quality sausage, everything cooked right (black pudding maybe a little under done if I’m being critical) and great price. The service is super friendly here too. I also tried the peri peri chicken, with salad & chips which was only £9.95 with the can of Rio – another great deal.
25. George’s Cafe
📍Leytonstone. George’s Cafe (est 1983) is a British-Italian run greasy spoon in Leyton . Before anybody wants to moan about chips with an English breakfast these are home-made and ten out of ten. The Special Breakfast is £8.80 and comes with two sausage, two bacon, chips, beans, egg, a fried slice and tea. I added black pudding and the total came to £10. Positives; home-made chips, bacon nice and crispy, a beautiful looking egg, well priced. Negatives; cheap sausage, black pudding a little underdone. Last visit 4/08/2025. Watch the reel here.
26. Little Portland Cafe
📍Maylebone. Little Portland Cafe is a Greek Cypriot run cafe in Central London. The Big Breakfast is £9.90 and comes with a sausage, two bacon, two eggs, beans, hashbrown, mushrooms, tea and toast. I had to pay extra for black pudding but still unreal value considering it’s a few minutes walk from Oxford Circus. Positives; proper sausage, good eggs, bacon nice & crispy, great value for central London. Negatives; hashbrown a little over done and mushroom portion was more of a garnish. I saw they also do souvla too. Last visit 23/06/25. Watch the reel here.
27. Maria’s Market Cafe
📍Borough Market. Right in the heart of Borough Market. Unfortunately Maria sold up a few years ago now. Austin from Terry’s Cafe initially took control for a short while but it quickly changed hands again. The breakfast looked pretty similar to Terry’s last time I saw it which is a bit disappointing as I like place to do their own thing. It looks like the prices have gone up quite a bit and the Google rating has also dipped so maybe it’s not what it used to be.
28. Mario’s
📍Kentish Town. Established in 1989. It’s a small but beautiful cafe run by a British Italian. As well as English breakfasts the focaccia sandwiches coming out the kitchen looked pretty good too. After adding black pudding, homemade chips and tea, this breakfast came to £16.90 – definitely on the expensive side. Positives: proper sausage, egg runny, hand cut chips, great vibe. Negatives; sourdough toast (bit woke), small portions, high price. Last visit 07/08/2025. Watch the full reel here.
29. Chris’s Kitchen
📍Camden. Chris’s Kitchen in Camden is a Greek Cypriot cafe which dates all the way back to 1958. The set 2 is £8 and you get 1 sausage, 2 bacon, beans, mushrooms, toast. I added hashbrowns for £2. Positives; run by a nice old couple, everything was cooked perfectly, nicely done eggs and fresh bread for the toast. Negatives; a cheap sausage but I’ve had worse, and they don’t do black pudding!?
30. Nells Cafe
📍Northfields. Set three at Nells includes two sausages, two bacon, two eggs, black pudding, hash brown, beans, tomato, mushroom, toast and tea for only £8. Incredible value and not cheap ingredients like you’d find with some other fry-ups that cost more than this. Cash only. Best fry-up in Ealing.
31. Le Swine
📍East Sheen. The newest cafe just on this list. I’ve been eating Le Swine bacon buttys since 2014 so it’s great to see they’ve finally got a permanent bricks & mortar digs. Loving the menu – I went for a set 1 breakfast (added black pudding) and a bacon, sausage, egg and cheese bun. Good quality sausage, bacon, black pudding and perfectly cooked tomato. Very happy that they’ve opted for tinned beans over poncey homemade ones too. I prefer button mushrooms over portabello and would have liked to see a hash brown included but a great breakfast nonetheless. You already know the buns are top notch. Don’t forge to order one of their deep fried profiteroles too. Go give them a visit in the new year.
32. Arthur’s Cafe
📍Kensal Rise. An Italian-owned cafe next to Kensal Rise station since 1950. Always busy with builders throughout the week. One of the few cafs that’s open on a Sunday. Three wins till the final. Come on England!
33. The Hope Workers Cafe
📍Highbury & Islington. Another Greek Cypriot run cafe. As well as a good fry-up you can get good Greek Cypriot dishes like moussaka and kleftiko.
34. Take a Break Cafe
📍Northolt. Take a Break Cafe is a Turkish-run greasy spoon in Northolt. I don’t know why (although I am a big fan of it), but the walls are plastered with famous actors and actresses. I got the number. 10 breakfast and added black pudding. For £13.10 I got two sausages, two bacon, chips, hashbrowns, two eggs, beans, mushrooms, tea & toast. Negatives; I’m not a fan of eggs being cooked like this, although they were still nice and runny, and the mushrooms could have been cooked a little longer. Positives; for the first time in a few breakfasts now the sausages were actually decent quality, the hashbrowns were 10/10, and the Afghan bloke working there was super friendly, going round and speaking to most tables.
35. Mr. G’s Cafe
Aacross the street from Stepney Green station. The current owner has been here 55 years. The cafe was originally owned by his father. I was told the “G” in “Mr G” stands for “Giovani”. The All Day Breakfast is £9.50 and comes with one sausage, four bacon(!), one egg, beans, bubble, and a fried slice. I added tea and black pudding which brought the total to £13.30. Positives; beautiful caf, big portions, bacon cooked nice & crispy. Negatives; cheap sausage, not the best egg (but it was runny). The owners were really friendly too. Last visit 15/08/2025. Watch the reel here.
36. Rock Steady Eddie’s
📍Camberwell. I’d been past Rock Steady Eddie’s (est 1989) in Camberwell so many times, I thought I’d finally give it a go yesterday. Let me start by saying this place is full of some absolute characters (somebody described it as “a place for people who don’t know where they are”); There was a ninety year old man in a security guard outfit with a much younger woman eating a Toblerone, one man on another table was just staring at me the whole time, another went and sat at my table when I got up for a second, and everybody else was horribly hungover… far worse off than me. Loved the vibe. I don’t think this place has had investment (or a general tidy up) in years… The O is missing from the sign outside and inside they still have a tape player with a massive stack of tapes. The fry-up was good. It hit the spot but is nothing to write home about. The service was incredibly slow. I’d still recommend if you’re looking for a fry-up in South London. Also great that it’s open on Sundays too.
37. Browns Breakfast Bar
📍Feltham. You’ll find this cafe in a container off the side of the A316. It’s only accessible by car. The lady running it has been here for five years. The set 5 is £9.50 and comes with one sausage, two bacon, one egg, bubble, beans, tinned tomato, mushrooms, black pudding, bubble, tea and toast. Proper sausage. Great value. Last visit 6/10/25. Watch the reel here.
38. Mapps Cafe
📍Hackney Wick. Mapps is easily one of the most popular cafs in East London. It’s busy every day of the week and even more when West Ham are playing. ‘The Special’ is a tenner you get sausage, three bacon, beans, egg, chips, tea and toast for a tenner. Pros; proper sausage, great toast, Heinz & HP, nice owner, friendly service. Negatives; the tinned tomatoes make it very sloppy, although the sausage is decent quality it’s deep fried and overcooked, the bacon could be done a little longer, and the place is chaotic. Last visit 12/11/2025. Watch the reel here.
39. Cafe Anglais
📍Colindale. A Turkish run cafe in Colindale, down the road from Bang Bang Oriental Food Hall. Visually a beautiful breakfast; a nice oversized plate giving everything the right amount space and all the items cooked correctly. On the downside, the sausage wasn’t as good as it looked, maybe a little heavy on the tomatoes, and at a whopping £17.70 (after tea and toast was added) it’s got to be one of the most expensive greasy spoon fry-ups I’ve had in London. They were renovating (apparently for years now) so I couldn’t experience the place in it’s full glory but it had a nice neighbourhood atmosphere. Overall a very good breakfast but very expensive, especially for the area.
40. Casa Fabrizi (Formerly Alpino)
📍Angel. Chapel Market’s iconic Alpino Cafe (est 1959) is sadly no more. A few months ago they moved across the street and are now operating as Casa Fabrizi because apparently the landlords got too greedy. It’s a bit of a shame because the original location was a vibe and the new one is quite sanitised. On the plus side the fry-up is just as good. £9.50 for all this with tea & toast. Good sausage. Thick bacon. Their pasta dishes are just as popular as the breakfasts.
41. Peterborough Cafe
📍Parsons Green. Peterborough Cafe off Parsons Green going full Five Guys with the fries. £10 here will get you sausage, two bacon, egg, two black pudding, fries, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast & tea. There’s a big TV in the middle of the room playing Westerns which makes you feel like you’ve walked into somebody’s home. This cafe stays true to the name “greasy spoon” because you’ll leave here feeling like you need a shower. Great breakfast and vibe.
42. The Noshery
📍Isleworth. The Full Monty at The Noshery in Isleworth (I replaced the bubble with chips for my daughter don’t get angry at me Union Jack profile people). The caf has been Turkish-run for six years but I’m not sure about the history before that. The breakfast was £12.45 for sausage, two bacon, two eggs, black pudding, beans, mushrooms, and bubble/chips/hash browns, tea and toast. Great to see a good quality sausage at Turkish greasy spoon as it’s often not the case. Overall a very decent breakfast, everything cooked well, service was friendly and i love an extra large white place. The only let downs were the eggs – I’m not a fan of them being fried in the mould, and the lonely one piece of toast.
43. Magic Food & Cafe
📍Hanwell. A cash-only Polish-run cafe in Hanwell. Despite being under ten minutes cycle from my house I only just found out about this place recently as it’s very hidden at the bottom of Trumpers Way. I went for the number two breakfast which was £9.50 and came with egg, bacon, sausage, beans, tomato & chips. I updgraded to a Polish sausage which cost an extra 50p (£10 total). Positives; The egg was cooked well and I’m a fan of being able to sub-in a Polish sausage. Negatives; tomatoes could have been cooked a little longer, i prefer a thicker chip, and the knock off brown sauce they’d sneaked into the HP bottle had a weird taste. All round a solid fry-up though. The Polish hotdogs look decent too. I’d eat here again.
44. Ace Cafe
📍Acton. A cafe for bikers, petrolheads, rockers since 1936. They used to serve a decent fry-up but last time I went quality had definitely dropped. All the items were pre-cooked and the black pudding was very under-cooked.
45. Jack’s Cafe
📍Dalston. A Turkish Cypriot-run cafe in Dalston. The number four is £9.50 and comes with sausages, bacon, egg, beans, mushrooms, bubble, tea and toast – I added black pudding. Good quality sausage and served on a nice big plate. A solid breakfast but the bacon, black pudding were a little underdone (I asked for well done)and it took a while to come. Also you know I’m not a fan of the egg cooked like this. Nice owner and people working there though.
46. Jesse’s Cafe
📍Walthamstow. The caf is run by a lovely old Turkish Cypriot couple. I’m a big fan of the red leather chairs and fixed seating, as well as the crockery. Nothing’s more classy than the name of the restaurant printed on the plates. I love the Old English font too. The breakfast isn’t winning any awards… The sausage was cheaper than some of the women i used to date, the egg was ugly, and the brown sauce was a strange tasting knock off brand. Toast, beans, black pudding, bacon – no complaints. I love the plates & mugs so much, and the owners were so nice, it’s a gem regardless.
47. Kings Cafe
📍Waterloo. A Turkish-run King Cafe in Willesden. It’s a beautiful dated caf and I’m a big fan of the owner sitting out front on a wooden chair. The breakfast is £11.50 and comes with one sausage, tow bacon, one egg, beans, mushrooms, tea & toast. I added black pudding for £1.50 which brought the total to £13. Positives; bacon nice & crispy, everything cooked well, and big portions – three hash browns, loads of beans and a mound of mushrooms. Negatives; cheap sausage and an over easy egg, although it wasn’t the worst.
48. Bus Cafe at Waterloo Bus Garage
📍Waterloo. Bus Cafe at the back of Waterloo Bus Garage. The ‘Full English’ is only £6 and comes with two sausage, two bacon, two eggs, tomatoes, beans and mushrooms. I don’t think they served black pudding. To my surprise the sausages were actually good quality and the eggs weren’t f’d up. Amazing for the price. To make things even better they also serve Jamaican food. I went for the jerk chicken with rice & peas and salad for only £6.50. It came with three boneless thighs. It was oven cooked rather than barbecued on a drum but the flavours were great and the value is unreal again. Most people eating here were bus drivers but you don’t have to be one to visit. I’m a big fan of the yellow fixed seating too. There aren’t that many tables so you may have to share with a stranger if you go as a one or two.
49. Greedies
📍Isleworth. You won’t catch me in these ends (Isleworth) often but this fry-up is pretty much on point. Not really a greasy spoon as they do avocado on toast with poached eggs and all that, and the full English wasn’t cheap, but still a nice little caf.
50. JP’s Cafe
📍Poplar. I’m not a fan of this part of London at all but have ended up back here three times recently on pie & mash quests. You can find JP’s in Chrisp Street Market around the corner from Maureen’s Pie & Mash. This is one of two cafes in the area (the other being Poplar Cafe) and is in my opinion the better of the two. The place had a community feel. Everybody was talking table to table. I went for the no. 2 which had sausage, two bacon, egg, beans, toast, and added tea, black pudding & bubble. The total came to £10. Everything was cooked well and the sausage was good quality. My only gripe would be the small bean portion but it was a solid breakfast overall.
51. Fernandos
📍Covent Garden. There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, Fernandos. The no.1 at Fernandos, a Portuguese-run greasy spoon in Covent Garden. £10.50 for sausage, two bacon, fried egg, mushrooms, beans, tinned tomatoes, tea and toast. A decent price for the area, 10/10 white buttery toast and a solid fry-up overall. Disappointingly they don’t serve black pudding, hash brown/bubble wasn’t included, and tinned tomatoes are listed as tomatoes.
52. Kenton Lane Cafe
📍Harrow. The Full Hinglish at an Indian-run cafe, Kenton Lane Café, up in Harrow. It comes with paratha, sautéed cherry tomatoes & garlic, spicy hashbrowns, pickles, egg burjee, masala beans and masala chai for £11.95. I had to add the sausage and bacon. Im usually a ‘don’t mess with beans’ kind of guy but I loved the masala beans, as well as spicy scrambled eggs and hash browns. The only let down was the low-quality, Richmond-esque sausage, and it was on the expensive side at £15.65 after adding the extra items. Service was friendly.
53. Franco’s
📍Shoreditch. The Special Breakfast at old-school Italian cafe, Franco’s Take Away, on Rivington Street, Shoreditch. Sausage, two bacon, one egg, two hash brown, beans, toast and tea for £8.90. I paid £1.50 more for black pudding. Sausage a little over done (fried then fried again) but other than that a solid breakfast. The correct amount of beans, no ramekin. The sandwiches are popular here too.
54. Maries Cafe
📍Waterloo. A Thai-owned cafe near Waterloo Station. One of two greasy-spoons on Lower Marsh. The fry-up isn’t anything special but it is very cheap. The Thai food is more popular than breakfast here. In the evening it’s BYOB.
55. Bar Bruno
📍Soho. Where to get a proper fry-up in Soho? It’s Bar Bruno. Sausage, THREE bacon, black pudding, TWO eggs, TWO hash browns, ASWELL AS bubble, beans, mushrooms, toast and tea for only £12.50. Hell of a deal. Nice green leather booths too.
56. Cardinal’s of Mayfair
📍Mayfair. Where to get a fry-up in the heart of Mayfair? No, it’s not The Audley… It’s Cardinal’s of Mayfair. The full house breakfast (fried egg, 3 rashers of bacon, sausage, beans, toast & tea)at this Italian-owned caf will set you back only £10. Not bad for the area at all. They also do great ciabatta sandwiches and pasta dishes too.
57. Number One Cafe
📍Hackney. The next best option if you can’t be bothered to queue at E Pellicci. Number One Cafe was famously used as a meeting point in a lot of the scenes in ‘Top Boy’. I love the classic fixed green seating. The breakfast isn’t anything special but it does the job.
58. Polo Bar
📍Liverpool Street. A 24-hour cafe across the street from Liverpool Street Station. Sausage, three bacon, black pudding, egg, mushroom, beans and toast. Once tea and service is added you’re looking at £16.50, with no hashbrown/bubble, so it’s on the higher-end of fry-ups. Decent egg, bacon fried crispy (maybe a little on the burnt side), good black pudding. Mushrooms and tomato a little underdone and the sausage, although not bad quality, had been cooked a while ago. Polo Bar is spread over three floors and they serve a lot of people throughout the day so most-likely they pre-cook some items. I’m a big fan of the plates and I love the fact it’s still open 24-hours in a city that’s not known for being up late.
59. Roehampton Village Cafe
📍Roehampton. This part of South West London really doesn’t feel London. The full house at The Village Cafe in Roehampton.; Two sausage, two bacon, two eggs, two toast, mushrooms, tomato, black pudding and tea for £13. Cheap sausage (I know some like it cheap) but a very good fry-up and a lovely caf.
60. Bridge Cafe
📍West Acton. Get in losers, we’re eating breakfast. Fry-up at Bridge Cafe, West Acton (aka the ‘Losers Cafe’ in The Apprentice). I thought this place had closed down for good but the two friendly old blokes (Gerry & Frank) who run it had actually just taken a 19 month break. The Bridge Set Breakfast with toast & tea starts at £6.50 (I added black pudding & hashbrowns).
61. Cafe Royal
📍Park Royal. One of the strangest caf set-ups I’ve seen – In one corner there’s a couple of fruit machines, in the other there appears to be some kind of make-shift office with a man hunched over his desk (the owner apparently). Yes, an office inside a greasy spoon. On top of this, when you order you’re given a raffle ticket with your number which is called out when your breakfast is ready, as if it gets so busy that remembering who ordered what, or just shouting out the order is too big a task. Now for the breakfast – The plating was all off. The way the beans were placed at the bottom of plate, then everything else on top, had me thinking this breakfast was put together by a psycho. Beautiful crispy bacon right on top of the wet beans… The bacon, mushrooms and hash browns were on point. The sausage was cheap, the ketchup and brown sauce were runny, the tomatoes were barely cooked. This cost £10.20 with tea and one slice of toast. Not bad but I expected cheaper for Park Royal. Would I go back? Absolutely.
62. Harry’s Cafe
📍Acton. Next to Acton Main Line Station (Elizabeth Line). If you live in the area this is one of those strange places (there’s a giant burger and sausage on top of the building) you always drive past but never stop. The exterior has the look of a run-down bar on the Ayia Napa strip. £9.50 for all this with tea and toast. Cheap sausage and an over-cooked egg but everything else cooked right and incredible value.
63. Pinner Cafe
📍Euston. £9.80 for egg, bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes, mushroom, black pudding, fried slice, tea and toast. Not the best quality or presentation, but great value, still did the trick, and old bloke working here was super friendly. I like a place that chucks in a fried slice as well as toast but not a fan of the sausage being cut down the middle, or slices of tomato vs a nice a half. This little area behind the British Library has managed to stay fairly un-gentrified. It’s on the same the street as The Cock Tavern – a proper boozer that’s open from 09:00 and serves a solid Guinness at reasonable price.
64. Franx
📍Tottenham Court Road. Five minutes from Tottenham Court Road station. Bacon, egg, sausage, beans, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms, toast & tea for £10.95. £1.50 to add black pudding. Decent price for the area and not a bad fry-up at all but Bar Bruno tops it for me as the best greasy-spoon in central.
65. Moulin Grill
📍Wembley. The Moulin Special at Moulin Grill, a British-Greek Cypriot owned caf in Wembley. Egg, bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, chips and toast for £10.95. After adding black pudding and tea it came to £14.90. Positives; everything cooked well, friendly owner and service, good egg, the toast wasn’t “woke”, nice Freddie Mercury painting. Negatives; Tottenham memorabilia, cheap sausage, tomato only cooked on one side. Last review 08/09/25. Watch the reel here.
66. Double Six Cafe
📍Euston. Egg, bacon, sausage, beans, hash brown and a fried slice for £8. I had to add black pudding and a tea. Hashbrowns and black pudding cooked perfectly and I respect cafe that forces a fried slice on you with every set breakfast. Let down by a cheap sausage and the way they fry the egg.
67. Broadway Cafe
📍Muswell Hill. 2 sausage, 2 eggs, bacon, beans, bubble, black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, tea and toast for £14.50. It was a solid breakfast let down by the sausages. They were somewhere between a cheap sausage and a good quality one, but looked like they’d been fried by Stevie Wonder… Completely burnt. Never should have made the plate. It’s a lovely looking cafe. I like the giant windows that let in so much light, and make it great for people watching, as well the font used on the signage and menu, but the sausages f***d it.
68. Boston Sandwich Bar
📍Brentford. Boston Sandwich Bar opposite Brentford Station. This greasy-spoon has been run by the same family since 1941 and it’s by far the most popular workers cafe in the area. Back when I had my first job at a tech company in an office on Great West Road I used to come here most mornings for a sausage & egg roll. This breakfast came to £7.80 (without the Ribena). It’s not breaking my top twenty but it does the trick. Nice white round plate. Service was friendly. Yeh the egg was broken but no major complaints from me.
69. Frank’s Sandwich Bar
📍Olympia. They’re definitely not winning any awards for that fry-up but £6.50 ain’t bad at all. Coronation chicken sandwich for lunch. Frank’s Sandwich Bar – popular with taxi drivers & Olympia exhibition goers, and also used on an old Pulp album cover.
70. Ferraris
📍Farringdon. Fancy some sweet & sour chicken for breakfast? Ferraris has got you. Ferraris Snack Bar is one of three greasy spoons around Smithfield Market (the other two being Beppe’s and Smithfield Market Cafe). The main difference with this caf is that they also serve Chinese food. As well as their F3 fry-up I had to try one of their popular sweet & sour chicken with rice & chips – an absolute ‘carbaside’ that I thought I’d only see up north. The breakfast itself was maybe a 6.5/10. Cheap sausage, egg not great, mushrooms a little underdone, and weirdly no bacon. The novelty of being able to get Chinese for breakfast is a winner for me though.
71. Euro Cafe
📍 Caledonian Road. Full breakfast at Euro Cafe on Caledonian Road including the perfect fried tomato – overripe and fried until it’s nearly falling apart. Basically the opposite of a Norman’s tomato which is pale, hard and lightly seared on one side. Loving the excessiveness of toast AND fried toast & crispy bacon. Negatives – no tea, cheap sausage and a sad looking egg but a solid fry-up nonetheless at £10.90. Euro Cafe was used in a scene in Guy Richie’s ‘The Gentleman’.
72. Nile Cafe
📍West Kilburn. As I’m closing in on fifty London greasy spoon visits they’re definitely getting a lot more niche. I think this spot is Egyptian owned. The breakfast (£10 with tea) loses points on the sausage quality, streaky bacon instead of back bacon, the way the eggs are fried, not serving black pudding and accidentally putting bbq sauce in the brown sauce pot. It’s still a nice little neighbourhood caf if you live nearby, especially if it’s sunny as you can sit outside, and run by lovely people, but not one worth travelling for. No opening hours or photos on Google.
73. Broken Gate Cafe
📍Sudbury Hill . Chips and hash brown on the same plate is wild. Working my way through every greasy spoon within twenty minutes drive of my house whilst I’m on pat leave. Full English at Turkish/Bulgarian run, Brokengate Cafe, in Sudbury Hill (which is apparently still London Borough of Ealing). Ealing is such a big Borough i don’t think I’ve ever been up here before (and there’s no reason to). £12 for a Full English; two sausage, two bacon, chips, hash brown, mushrooms, tomato, beans, 2 eggs, tea & toast. Not an awful sausage. Disappointingly no black pudding. Not a cheap breakfast for the area but it’s massive.
74. Jack’s Cafe
📍Walworth. Let down by a deep fried cheap sausage, and not the prettiest eggs, but other than that a solid breakfast. £10.30 with tea and toast (once black pudding was added). This cafe has been run by a Greek-Cypriot family for just over twenty-five years and has a friendly community feel to it. If you don’t know Walworth, it’s pocket of London between Elephant & Castle and Camberwell which has avoided gentrification. They’re open Sundays and serve a roast dinner for under a tenner.
75. Gino’s Coffee Bar
📍Marylebone. An Italian-run cafe near Marylebone Station. The fry-up is solid but quite over-priced.
76. Breadline Cafe
📍Trafalgar Square. With this location (just off Trafalgar Square), beautiful signage (oddly hidden by a black canopy) and old school seating, I feel like Breadline Cafe has the potential to be great. Everything cooked on point but let down by the Richmond’s (unless you’re into that) and no black pudding, hashbrown, bubble add-on options. Still a solid option for a cheap fry-up or bacon butty in central London.
77. Dans Cafe
📍Greenford. I know a lot of people like it, but I’ll never understand a tinned tomato instead or a fried/grilled tomato. Big fan of the signage, fixed seating and crispy bacon. Not a big fan of the cheap sausage or egg.
78. Peoples Choice
📍Barbican. People’s Choice Cafe (est 1962) in Barbican. The sausage has about as much meat as a Greg’s vegan sausage roll, but not a bad fry-up other than that. £10.45 with tea & toast. I’m a big fan of the branded mugs but Beppe’s is still my favourite in this area.
79. Rheidol Rooms
📍Angel. Just down the road from Popham’s Angel location. A beautiful cafe, and a solid breakfast (good sausage, crispy bacon and three hash brown), but I’ve got to give them a yellow card on serving beans in a ramekin. If you get beans in a ramekin, there are never enough when you pour them out. Beans are not a dipping sauce, they’re there to pull the whole plate together.
80. Jenny’s
Jenny’s is a Turkish-run cafe in Hayes. The current owners have been here around 31 years but prior to that it was a Wimpy which is why it looks like one inside. Pros; the price (the breakfast, burger and drink came to £9.10), the bacon was cooked well, service was friendly and I loved the look of the place. Negatives; cheap sausage, overdone egg, too much bean juice. Despite it not being the best breakfast I actually loved this spot and would return.
81. Express Cafe
📍Brixton. The set 4 at Turkish-run, Express Cafe, Brixton Market. I must have walked past this place so many times and never noticed it was there. The breakfast was £11.50 and came with sausage, bacon, black pudding, egg, bubble, beans, tea & toast. Positives – the bacon and black pudding were cooked well, the toast was nice, and there were a good amount of beans. Negatives – cheap sausage, never a fan of the egg being cooked like this, and the bubble was basically just mash. Although the breakfast wasn’t the best I’m a big fan of the green & orange fixed plastic seating, tiled flooring, and the people were nice.
82. Bell Cafe
📍Hounslow. The Bell Special at Turkish-run, The Bell Cafe in Hounslow. The breakfast is £11.50 and comes with two sausage, two bacon, two egg, black pudding, hash brown, chips, mushrooms, beans, tea & toast. Positives; I respect a caf that has balls to serve chips and hashbrowns at the same time, the eggs weren’t cooked in a mould, tea and toast is included, the hashbrown and chips were solid, and the black pudding was fried a little crispy (how I like it). Negatives; two big fat low quality sausages, I wasn’t a big fan of the bacon either, it came with two sloppy tomato slices instead of a nice half, and what’s with angle the toast was cut at? Service was friendly. Overall I didn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t go back.
83. Goodfillas Sandwich & Coffee House
📍Brentford. Goodfillas Sandwich & Coffee House is an Irish/Goodfellas themed cafe in Brentford. The full Irish breakfast is £10.95 and comes with two sausage, two bacon, three hash browns, two eggs, black pudding, white pudding, tea and toast. Pros; the black pudding and white pudding were very good, the sausages were slightly better than average, the portions were good portions, and the price wasn’t bad at all. Negatives; the eggs, hashbrown, and bacon and had all been pre-cooked (buffet tray style) and the beans were a little on the cold side. Last visit 16/07/2025.
84. Big Bites Cafe
📍Hanwell. The Full Breakfast at Big Bites Cafe, Hanwell. The Full Breakfast which is far from full comes with one sausage, two bacon, one egg, chips & beans for £8.50. I had to add tea (it didn’t come with toast either) and black pudding which brought the total to £11.20. Positives; It was fine, no knock-off sauces. Negatives; cheap sausage, bacon and black pudding a little undercooked, no tea or toast included in any of the breakfasts, and not that cheap. Last visit 30/07/25. Watch the reel here.
85. Crystal Cafe
📍Hometon. The “full” at Crystal Cafe, a Turkish-run cafe in Hometon. Egg, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, hashbrowns, tea and toast for £10.70. After adding black pudding it came to £12.50. Positives; nice golden mushrooms, friendly service, and I’m a fan of the tiling (floor and walls). Negatives; cheap sausage, bad egg, black pudding and beans a little underdone. Last visit 7/11/2025. Watch the reel here.
86. Cafe Bianca
📍Deptford. For £10 you get 1 sausage, 1 bacon, two eggs, bubble, beans, tea and toast. Despite being in the heart of Millwall territory they appear to be big Chelsea fans. Positives; Chelsea memorabilia, includes black pudding, nice horse painting. Negatives; in Deptford, toast cut at weird angle. Last visit 29/08/2025. Watch the reel here.
87. Park Cafe
📍Park Royal. The Full English at Polish-run, Park Cafe in Park Royal. It came to £11.90 after I added tea and black pudding which weren’t included. Positives; service was quick and friendly, served on a big white plate, bacon nice & crispy. Let downs; cheap sausage, not a fan of the egg cooked like this, plus it was overcooked, mushrooms and black pudding a little under-done. Also I’m not sure how people feel about the sausage being cut like this but I’m sure people are going to kick-off.
88. Saray Broadway Cafe
📍Hackney. A Turkish-run cafe on Broadway Market. As far as I know this is the only greasy-spoon with an in-house gozleme lady. I’ve actually been getting takeout spinach & cheese gozleme here for a good ten years but this is my first time trying the fry-up. It’s a 6.5/10 breakfast for me – it does the job on a hangover but there are better options not too far. The bacon was nice and crispy, tomatoes cooked well (although I prefer a single half) and everything else was cooked right too. But the sausages are cheap and the eggs are way over-cooked. Still worth coming back for the gozleme.
89. Valencia Cafe
📍Bloomsbury. The fry-up isn’t that bad but the plate it’s served on is awful.
90. Bisou Cafe Diner
📍Kings Cross. *Permanently closed* . Not the best quality fry-up but it does that trick.
91. Old English Coffee House *Permanently Closed*
📍Belgravia. *Permanently closed* The closest greasy spoon to Buckingham Palace? Breakfast at the Old English Coffee House in Belgravia. Sausage, 3 x bacon, 3 x black pudding, egg, beans, tomato, toast and a good coffee for only £9.50 (slightly more than you’d pay for a single croissant in these parts). The place is could definitely do with a bit of fixing up – there’s a whole window missing from the front. Overall the breakfast did the job but I’m not a fan eggs done this way and the tomatoes were barely cooked at all.
92. New River Cafe
📍Stoke Newington. That sausage sure ain’t winning a beauty contest. Breakfast at New River Cafe in Stoke Newington. Sausage, two bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, beans, bread & tea for £10 on the dot. A nice neighbourhood but not not an elite fry-up.
93. Poplar Cafe
📍Poplar. The set 4 at Poplar Cafe, a Turkish-run cafe in Poplar. It’s a big cafe with a big menu and was heaving at lunch. £9.80 for bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms, hash brown, tea & toast. Everything was cooked right but the let down was the cheap sausage (as usual) as well as the egg cooked in the weird circle thing. A solid caf with efficient service but it lacked character for me (just like Poplar in general).
94. Millwall Cafe
📍Millwall. This cafe is basically located inside Millwall’s football ground, The Den. The breakfast is big, well priced and comes with a proper sausage. I’m not the biggest fan of tinned tomatoes or the way the eggs are cooked. Also, the area is pretty rough, and if you’re not a Millwall fan you’re not going to feel that relaxed here.
95. Super Chef
📍Greenford.
96. Cafe Tejo
📍Victoria. I’m quite partial to a Portuguese caf. The Full English at Tapas Bar O Tejo in Westminster. £8.20 for two bacon, sausage, beans, egg, hashbrown, fries, mushrooms, tomato, black pudding, tea & toast. This is great value, especially for the area. Overall it was a solid breakfast, and fair play for serving hash brown with fries, but there were a few letdowns. The sausage tasted like it was 10% meat, I’m pretty sure the mushrooms were from a tin and barely fried, and the knock off brown sauce had a funky taste. Also I know a few people are going to moan about the beans being on top of the egg. The francesinha sandwich is also supposed to be popular here but there was no way I could stomach it after fry-up. As far as Portugal greasy spoons go, Astral is number one for me, followed by Cafe Barca.
97. Coffee Pot Cafe
📍Isleworth. Another caf where you can get a Full English and Thai food at the same time. Fry-up and pad Thai noodles at The Coffee Pot in Isleworth. A solid fry-up. Decent Thai food.
98. ExCel Cafe
📍Custom House. A rough looking fry-up in a rough part of town. The full English at Excel Cafe (formerly Freemasons Cafe) in Custom House (one of the worst parts of London?). I must be coming up to 60 greasy spoon visits now. In all fairness it wasn’t as bad as 3.8 Google rating suggested. Let down by a cheap sausage, cheap bacon chopped-up, under-cooked tomato tomato slice (I like an overcooked half), slightly undercooked mushrooms, and I’m not a fan of the egg fried like this, but other than that it did the trick and still beats eating at most the places in Excel Centre. This was around £11.50 with tea. Excel Cafe seems to be a meeting point for those weird characters who show up at trade shows grabbing freebies.
99. George’s Cafe
📍Kensington Olympia. Another popular caf with exhibition goers as well as the post office workers across the street. Cheap sausage but a decent enough fry-up.
100. Goldbourne Cafe
📍Goldbourne Road. Surprisingly the only proper caf in the area. It’s been run by a lovely British-Turkish bloke and his family for the last fourty-five years. I went for the number two which included bacon, black pudding, a fried slice, tomatoes & bubble. I added sausage & beans. It didn’t come with tea or toast. The total bill came to £12. It’s one of those fry-ups that you wouldn’t rush back to (unless you lived nearby) but it does the trick. The black pudding was nice and crispy and I always like the addition of a fried slice. Let down by a cheap sausage and I always prefer tea & toast to be included.
101. Maggies Cafe
📍Lewisham. I like that they have a create your own breakfast option where you pay a fixed price (last time I was there it was £10.95) and pick all the items you want. They also have a Guinness tap if you fancy adding one to your breakfast.
102. Speedy’s Sandwich Bar & Cafe
📍Euston. Famously used as the cafe often visited by Shelock Holmes in the TV series ‘Sherlock’. The fry-up isn’t great and the place is pretty run-down.
103. Hanwell Cafe
📍Hanwell. A Turkish-owned cafe in the depths of Hanwell I have little reason to visit. Egg, sausage, bacon, bubble, chips, mushroom, black pudding, tomato for under a tenner. It’s one of those breakfasts that isn’t a winning any awards but just about does the trick. It’s on a nice large white plate, I like that they serve bubble and chips together, and most items were cooked well. Let down by the low quality sausage, not a great egg, and black pudding under-cooked. Nice friendly service though.
104. Embassy Cafe
📍Notting Hill. Popular with locals. It changed hands a few years ago. The fry-up isn’t too bad but they they use those horrible square blue plates which makes the breakfast look ugly.
105. Mummy Yummy Cafe
📍Hayes. Mummy Yummy Cafe (awful name, I know) at Selco in Hayes. I think after Waterloo Bus Cafe I’m on a mission to find more niche cafs and being hidden above a builders shop in Hayes is pretty niche if you ask me. This was the Mega Breakfast for £11.99 and came with two sausage, two bacon, beans, mushrooms, tomato, tea & toast. Bacon cooked well, nice hashbrowns and a good amount of beans. Let down by cheap sausages, no black pudding and a tomato almost as undercooked as the one you’ll get at Norman’s. The flower vase on each table was a little confusing too as the only clientele would be builders grabbing breakfast or lunch together.
106. Horseshoe Cafe
📍Northfields. A second greasy spoon on Northfield’s Avenue. I think the breakfast is better and cheaper at Nell’s, plus the service is friendlier too.
107. Spicy Noodle Cafe
📍Balham. Spicy Noodle Cafe is a Chinese-run cafe in Balham. Breakfast 1 cost £9.30 and came with sausage, bacon, egg, beans and black pudding, tea and toast. No potato based item so I added hashbrown. They’re actually more popular for their Chinese dishes with most people eating chicken curry with chips and rice or special fried rice/noodles, so I also got a wonton noodle soup, which was served in what I think is a ramen bowl. Pros; black pudding nice and crispy, great hashbrowns, nice egg, and they do Chinese food. Negatives; bacon underdone, sausage about 5% meat, no bubble/hashbrown/chips automatically included, toast cut at a triggering angle.
108. Orchard Cafe
Feltham. Last visit 15/09/25. Watch the reel here.
109. Peckham Bus Cafe
📍Peckham. You know a bus driver hates to see me coming. The small breakfast for £5.50 at Peckham Bus Cafe. Proper sausage, decent egg, mushrooms cooked well. Let down by the severely undercooked tomato. Can’t argue with that price though. I also tried the jerk chicken and curry goat. As well as a pool table also have a full size snooker people (with no tears). Full review tomorrow.
110. Smithfield Cafe
📍Farringdon. Another cafe surrounding Smithfield Meat Market. I love that it’s open 24hours but I didn’t think much of the breakfast. Beppe’s is your best option in the area.
111. Billy’s Cafe
📍Hackney. Not the best quality ingredients and served on awful looking black plates. I’d rather wait it out at E Pellici.
112. Cafe Diana
📍Bayswater. A Princess Diana themed cafe in Bayswater near the North entrance to Kensington Palace Gardens. This Iraqi-owned spot has been going since 1988 and was even visited multiple times by Diana herself. It’s worth a visit for the novelty if you’re into ‘are Di’ but the breakfast isn’t great. The sausage and bacon are cheap, portions are small, and beans come in a ramekin.
113. Shepherdess Cafe
📍Old Street. This greasy spoon used to be a gem. The walls were covered with famous people who had visited over the years like Tom Jones and Jamie Oliver, who used to be a regular. They had very distinct fixed green and white seating. The breakfast although not the best, did the trick, and there was always a great atmosphere. For some reason they decided to completely refurbish the place from the inside out and it has completely lost it’s character and charm. None of the regulars who used to go there still go anymore. The breakfast is now served on one of those square coloured plates and looks terrible too.
114. Sunsnacks Cafe
📍Lisson Grove. This cafe changed hands a few years ago. Apparently it used to be good but the breakfast is pretty disappointing now. The bubble was a wet mash, the sausage was poor quality, as was the bacon, the fried egg was cooked in a mould, the mushrooms weren’t very fresh, and I hate the coloured square plat. Service wasn’t very friendly either.
115. Rayz Cafe *Permanently Closed*
📍Hanwell. This is probably the only caf in London you can get an MOT and a fry-up at the same time. Rayz Cafe is located inside Grays Tyre Services on Uxbridge Road. When I visited I found out that Ray had sold up and new owners had only been there three days. I honestly don’t think they had cooked a fry-up before. The full breakfast is only £6 and comes with two sausage, two turkey bacon, two eggs, chips, hashbrown, tea and toast. Negative; turkey bacon instead of real bacon, the toast was un-buttered and burnt on one side, there was a lot of excess bean juice and they were a little on the cold side, the tea didn’t arrive until the end of meal. Positives; none. Last visit 18/06/2025.
