Bada Bing! cafe
Bada Bing! Located off Clarkenwell road, Bada-bing! is an nice little cafe.
The breakfast is served in humongous portions so if out of principle you feel obliged to clean your plate bada-bing is not for the light-hearted.
Price, at just under £4 for a breakfast (item 4) comprised of 1 Egg, 3 strips of bacon, a lot of baked beans, a lot of chips (waitress forgot to substitute with hash-browns), a portion of mushrooms and a lot of bubble and squeak which was lovely actually. Read the rest of this entry »

An Englishman was writing for the Times today how the English breakfast is an abomination Direct quotes from Giles Coren article for the Times online : http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article3758517.ece
Hash-browns are dismissed as “ghastly manifestations of American imperialism”
“A good English breakfast never lets you down.” No, it kills you.
What the hell event do they have in mind, the 3,000m casualty dash? The Triple Barf (also called the hop, skip and vomit)? The Synchronised Massive Coronary?
You never see a person with a degree eating a fry-up, do you?
Clearly the English breakfast is not only the cornerstone of British diet and the proudest culinery delight of Britain, but also helps Britain keep calm and carry on, unlike that very unfortunate Giles Coren character who was writing this angry article over her oat serial with 0% fat yogurt.
Giles, you may be right to advocate health, but a bit of advice for your heart: Don’t stress so much about the little things – have a breakfast you enjoy in moderation – keep calm – and carry on!

Ferrari’s greasy spoon captured on camera. I like Ferraris, but sometimes it’s too much for my stomach.
Also I was wondering – it is ok to steam a late in a plastic container? Oh well… here it is:

Bit of a disappointment the cock tavern today as 4 out of our group didn’t get breakfast at all after 45m wait. Still the old Cock Tavern is a classic and was busting with life at 8am in the morning on Friday 30th.
Good fun, not if you're hungry though. From left to right: Chris, Lisa, Sarah J., Sarah K., Vesa, Brad, Hina, Martin, Aris, Kevin, Sam and Bethany

Well, we’re not the first to write about breakfast places in London. Timeout for example does a great job here with their London breakfast review.
This is the sneaky 8:15am, pre-work, grab some value for money, great English breakfast – perhaps even with a sneaky pint club!
Still, thanks for the lovely article about brekkies timeout!
