Compliment Darika (11-05-2008) 3

Love the venue, the cocktails and the lunch/evening menu. However, this place can not cook an egg for breakfast.

I’ve been here twice for breakfast meet-ups as it’s such a great location for people working south of the river. The brunch menu is a little uninspiring though and, I have to mention it again, there make bad eggs! The first time my omlette was still clucking, on trying fried eggs for my next visit they were bizarrely chewy with something brown and burnt looking on the base.

Veggies are well catered for in the daytime menu but, as is often the case, doesn’t provide great value for money.

I hardly ever do this but I sent my breakfast bill back to the waiter. After requesting no bacon, I was provided with a big empty plate on which sat in the middle a sad looking tattie scone, two [as we’ve established, awful] eggs and one tiny little mushroom. I figured they must’ve miscalculated the cost at £8.50 as if I’d walked across the road to a Borough High St caff I could’ve had a 3 egg omlette, bacon, chips, beans, toast, hash browns, mushrooms and about 10 cups of tea.

They’re famous for their breakfasts here but I so, so wish the quality would improve as I do like it here the rest of the time.
