Our Story

Thirty years of bacon, eggs, and strong tea.

We opened our doors in 1996 with one idea: cook the English breakfast properly, every morning, for whoever walks in. Three decades later the pan is still on the grill, the beans are still warm, and the kettle still never stops.

It is a small room, a short menu, and a steady routine. No gimmicks, no trends. Just the plate people keep coming back for.

The Routine

Breakfast served all day, until ten at night.

We start at nine in the morning and we do not stop until ten at night. Whether you want the full works at sunrise or eggs and tea at half past nine in the evening, the grill is on and the table is yours.

No booking needed for breakfast, but if you want a table at a busy hour, a quick call ahead does the trick.
