Bridge Cafe — Restaurant in London

Since this place changed hands Jean Fredderik Martines (ex soho house) has transformed this place (famous for the apprentice). Menu along Fire, Earth, Water & Space and Air, it's a real gem in this area. Popular with cyclists (think tech, man-buns & lycra) have changed the vibe from the older construction clientele, and the excellent wi-fi, power sockets and coffee is a great place to take the Mac and mix a bit of business and pleasure in a relaxed environment. Private Cycle storage round the back is handy, if like me and my business partner have expensive carbon framed bikes and don’t want to leave on the street. Menu wise I had the house Soul-Bowl (plant based buddah) and a chai latte - not bad under £20. The place teams up with local Yoga and Crossfit, so a good catch up with the guys after, over Fuss-Ball and retro computer games like Pac-man. Breakfast wise Retro 90s cereals (a bit done) and Vegan Patisserie. An Organic farm shop sells a good selection and highly recommend a Pommergramit Molaise, Italian sourced is amazing, and not bad and just over £15....

As an apprentice buff I just had to try this place out and was hoping for a cheeky glimpse of some stars from the show. Did not disappoint! In terms of the experience I have a severe peanut allergy so they agreed to remove all peanuts off the menu for the day and gave the place a deep clean to ensure there were no traces before I turned up. Unfortunately I went into a rather nasty anaphylaxic shock anyway but it was ok as the staff are all CPR trained and the manager is a paramedic on the side (CHEERS 4 HEROES)

Anyway excellent meal and I even got to take a photo of the ‘tastes really bitter’ guy from the apprentice! How lucky he happened to be there that day. He was eating a Thai masaman curry(hope it was extra bitter for him). If you call up in advance they can let you know the dates the apprentice are booked to film there. Although I don’t advise going then unless you’re ok...

Loving the Apprentice, I have wanted to visit The Bridge almost since day one. Today was the day, and it lived up to all my expectations and more. The staff were so kind, patient and welcoming, putting up with my excited Brummie prattle, even posing for photos, as well as helping in taking them. Loved the little bits of insider knowledge, which made it such a wonderfu, magical visit. I cannot thank Gerry and Frank and the lady assistant (sorry, I didn't catch her name) enough, it was a dream come true! The bacon and sausage sandwiches were perfect, although I was almost to excited to eat. Mug of tea perfection! I also have, what will be a much treasure Bridge Cafe...
