The Corner Café — Restaurant in London

After living and working in London for a month and a bit, I have had enough of the constant baragge of Costas, Prets and other semi-pretentious places on offer in the centre and I craved something that I missed from home, an old style, bolt down seating, cafe.

So this Saturday I decided to take a walk around my local area. I got a haircut, wandered through a local market and on my way back after almost giving up the ghost, came across the corner cafe. What a sight, Mecca for the recently hungover, I immediately stepped in and was greeted with the smell of a traditional English breakfast. In my honesty, I opted for one of their set menus, which was a bit basic, this was my issue alone though, as everything it detailed came to the table cooked exactly as it should have been. I would advise using the set menus as bases and adding extras, of which there are plenty.

All staff I dealt with were kind and helpful and install definitely be returning sooner...

Small looking dinner type place. People were lined up to place their order at the counter before sitting down. We sat down first, and a person took our order at the table.

I ordered a pancake breakfast that had three cakes with syrup on top, scrambled eggs, ham, and sausage. My child had a cheeseburger and fries. I would love to give this place more stars, but the food was bland to me. I asked for more syrup for my basic pancakes to give it more taste, but it didn't help. I at least had ketchup to add to my eggs. I thought it was just me, but my husband said he needed to add hot sauce to his meal. Even the orange juice didn't taste like oranges. The server was hard working and nice. Locals seem to...

Visiting from USA. Walked past this spot yesterday and it seemed like an established local resteraunt from the appearance location and it's customers eating outside. Made a note to have a taste. Portions where excellent service was prompt and the two electricians sitting next to me made me smile ( I'm a master electrician from the states)

I ordered the Spanish omelette with bacon added in and hash browns. Everything tastes great and out of the three hash brown triangle things I've had so far each day these were the Perfect version. The crunch taste and composition stands out. I'm sure not everyday will be like that but if you order them hopefully they hit that fried crispy goodness.

I was looking for an eatery that catered to locals versus tourism and was not disappointed in...
