Rym Cafe — Restaurant in London

Having driven past on several occasions I had seen plenty of tasty tradies sitting outside this cafe next to Lords Cricket Ground. My friend and I decided to give this cafe a try. The lights were off but the door open (13:00), we had to ask if the man was open. We entered, between no lights, the stacked up chairs the creepy atmosphere was enhanced when the knife wielding owner (I guess) stares at you blankly. It was like a horror movie from the 80s I didn't know if I'm the next victim, my lady friend was very uncomfortable. We persisted and although my friends option for her jacket potato was jacket and tuna, cheese and Tuna or mayo tuna we ordered. I don't know what happens in the back but there was a transformation, the food appeared at the same time was hot and infact my egg on toast (I wanted a quick meal to leave) was delicious and the tea awesome. I even got a smile from Mr Hatchetman. No tradies in sight when we went and were the only customers. Having read the reviews it's a hit and miss place our visit was so so. Food good, atmosphere appalling, but then again we hadn't come for shisha or maybe we just came at the wrong time. Even if they have naked tradie night (yes it's a thing in some places) I would take my chances with the muggers at the regents canal next door....

Just thought I would leave my review for people thinking of eating here for an english breakfast. This cafe serves halal meat which is not what an english breakfast requires.

The bacon is a some very small slither of streaky pork substitute. The sausages were ok but obviously weren't pork. The eggs are nice. I have as strong inkling that the food is pre cooked and then just heated up to hot food temperature which is not my cup of tea either. They didnt have brown bread at the time of my visit, but the white toast tasted very nice compared to the quality of bread used in most cafes in London. The brammalls tomato sauce served here was some of the worst tomato sauce i've ever tasted and ruined half of my chips. I exchanged beans for chips on the menu. Why cafes dont buy heinz ketchup wholesale I dont know.

The english breakfast is £4.95 for 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 egg and beans with 2 toast. They dont include a tea/,coffee with that, so the total price will be £6.45 with tea or £6.65 with coffee.

Overall I will not be visiting this cafe in the future whilst working. The person working at the cafe was accommodating and as pleasant as can be but the breakfast was just not up...

This is not a review of the establishment but of the staff. My wife slipped on the wet road outside the Rym Cafe last night and grazed her hand when she fell. I went into the Cafe to try and get some tissue paper to clean her hand but there was nobody behind the counter. Someone who was sitting outside sprinted in as I got some tissue paper from the toilet and started yelling at me. I explained the situation and that I didn’t know who worked here to ask for help. He continued yelling that I must ask him for what i want. I pointed to my wife who was outside and said that she was bleeding but he couldn’t care less. His aggressive behaviour only added to the stress of the situation. As tourists staying nearby we’ll be walking on the other side of the road for the...
