Where to start?? The English breakfast options were just 2, EB or Full EB. I opted for the former for £12 hoping to get VFM. I asked for mint tea and was told that they only have regular English tea. "What's in that box of Peppermint Tea?" I asked. This Twinings offering turned out to be the best thing about the whole experience. The furniture inside looked impressive (in contrast with the pavement chairs that were falling apart) and clean, but a very wobbly table wasn't great, nor was the display base stood in the corner, exposed cables and busted door giving a shoddy look. The atmosphere was completed by TV noisily showing cricket and deafening adverts which was turned off later when I could bear no more (I was the only punter), giving way to the whirring of the aircon and children upstairs jumping on the ceiling. My £4 orange juice arrived first, as requested, but I was fooled into thinking it would be freshly-squeezed by the high price and the orange-juice-making machine with a load of oranges on the top. What arrived was clearly out of a carton made from concentrate, and we're talking Poundland/Tesco Value, rather than Tropicana. The food arrived. Bright orange to almost red yolks in fried eggs from some presumably radioactive chickens looked very unnatural and tasted rather bland, though were cooked to perfection. I asked for brown sauce, which came in a red ketchup botte that I had to send back as the nozzle was clogged up with solid dried contents. The watery streak of brown liquid it dispensed reminded me of you don't want to know what. Straggly bits of overcooked bacon and half a blackened tomato were equally unappealing, though easier to cut with the blunt knife. Sausage, hash brown and mushrooms were all fair. Toast and butter was good. All-in-all possibly the worst English breakfast...
Read moreNot a great cafe unfortunately, food is salty and the set breakfasts are tiny. Also the lady that works here is extremely slow and very unfriendly which is a shame because the guy who cooks is very friendly and welcoming.
Update after owners reply: Unfortunately now I can see that the owner is also a liar as their reply is total rubbish. Not sure where they got these details but I did not have the breakfast they said and am not a veggie and I did not request a refund at any point. I also didn't make a complaint about the food as it was before work and I was short for time to get to site. I find this reply insulting and Total lies in a way to justify my bad review rather than just take the criticism and improve going forward. Poor form, obviously won't be back and I'll be letting the other guys on site know to...
Read moreFirst time ordering here, and I had the Masala Chai and Full English Breakfast. Masala Chai was ok, however, for the price paid, the Full English Breakfast wasn't great. The sausages were a big let down - poor quality, tasteless / bland. Bacon wasn't anything special either. Portion of beans was on the small side too. No complaints about the eggs, tomato, toast and mushrooms, all good there, and nicely cooked. Contents were nicely packaged, wasn't missing anything and all was as ordered....
