I should have realised when they said it was a "buffet". Overpriced. Awful food. Bad coffee. Service very bad but friendly. Me "Please could i have some toast" Waitress is...” more...

You arrive into what looks like a 1980s office block for the ministry of dullards. Once past the security staff you arrive in a 100 foot high atrium. Painted cream and gold. A bit like a Cricklewood...” more...

The staff were young but almost embarrassingly attentive. I decided on a breakfast special, coasted in was was promised as "mustard Bearnaise". It was more like Mustard...” more...

Big pots of tea. Slightly incongruous to be in a pub decor (smelt ever-so-slightly of last night's beer. Not good for pastries. Worth a punt if...” more...

Luckily this seemed a 100% male clientele at the time I visited. This is a great atmosphere, and great decor small room restaurant. I...” more...

They had black pudding on offer in about 6 different ways, 6 types of hand reared spoon fed bacon, 57 different viareties of eggs etc. I went for Black pudding hash and whilst its probably still...” more...

Middle aged Italian men come to the tables around the bar showing a mixture of obsequious charm and slightly haughty disgust. They then made cocktails at your table...” more...

It is both a greasy spoon and an americana diner. the staff are both incredibly rude when taking your cash, and then incredibly friendly when managing your expectations on food arrival at your plate.

The drinks are expensive and the clientèle is there to luxuriate in its faux-exclusivity. The photos from Donovan are great, and for the more adventurous be sure to check out the "bum corner". But nevertheless a lovely...” more...
