This was a really good spot. We were walking around looking for a spot to eat and came across this place. Nice restaurant. Good size menu, the owner was nice. The service was great. My little brother and I ordered the full English breakfast, and the gf got the smaller English breakfast. I finally got to eat this dish, and let me tell you. So simple, but crazy good. That black pudding is something else. It's hard to explain it, but once you try black pudding, it'll change your life. It's not what you think. Overall, we loved this place. If I ever find myself back in London, I would totally visit this restaurant again :)

We stopped here for a traditional English breakfast, and we were not disappointed! The portions were huge, the flavor was delicious and the service was friendly and attentive.

I have found my new favourite cafe/restaurant! Reasonably priced for the location Nice variety of food Great staff especially the owner/manager I visited on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm and they were still serving breakfast (as it's an all day breakfast). Food arrived within 10 minutes. The cup of hot chocolate was huge and tasty as well

This was a great little find. The gentleman was very welcoming and assisted me with my mobility walker without hesitation on arrival. The cafe was small with limited tables, but the toilet and cafe itself was clean with great service and prices for London. I had an afternoon tea consisting of 2 (hot) scones, jam and cream and a pot of tea which was really enjoyable. I would definitely revisit when back in the area.

What a lovely place. We just stepped in and got overhelmed by the nicest and most friendly staff I have ever experienced. The whole team was just amazing and tried everything to offer you a great stay. Furthermore, the food was very good. Everything was made freshly and was served hot to our table. The prices were definitely fair. I also loved the atmosphere as the whole interior was new and everything was really clean . Hopefully, the restaurant will gain more popularity in the future, it would be well earned.

Great experience. Kind and warm atmosphere. Quite cheap and delicious although the pthe burger portion was a bit small, but I eat a lot it might suit you. The staff is very polite and likes to talk.

New cafe in Waterloo. The food is well proportioned, tasty and not at all greasy. The host is friendly and attentive and the food comes in a reasonable time - not too slow but not too fast either (never trust a full English that gets to your table almost as quick as you do). The atmosphere is relaxing, clean and modern, two traditional English breakfasts with a pot of tea (enough for 2 cups each), came to 20. Will definitely be back.

We had a lovely lunch here! I ordered the fish and chips, while my partner enjoyed the baked potato topped with tuna and cheese. Both were absolutely delicious. The portion sizes definitely live up to the name of the restaurant. To top it off, there was a vintage car show happening just outside, which added a fun and unexpected touch to the afternoon. A great spot for a relaxed and enjoyable meal!
