"Everytime I pass by, this place always appears to be very busy. However, my friend and I decided to eat here one day. The place was redone recently and it now has a very airy, light and pleasant interior. The service was very slow however, the staff was very friendly. The food however, was pretty average and there was nothing exciting about it. The portions are quite alright and are filling. However, the traditional baked beans were absent from most English Breakfast options."

a nice casual caffe with friendly staff that took our orders right away. the miniburger was the perfect size for me (I would hate to see what the normal burger size is full of taste and crispy pommes.

not unusual, but good, excellent fast breakfast for me. two bacon egg caabatta and freshly pressed oj £5.80 very convenient, one minute away from the railway station, timeliness to read and great 1960s music. an unexpected surprise.

pretty okay. portion ok. quality acceptable. could take into account more ingredients and then remove from the competitors. No one in the opposite seems to have the idea that high quality (ideal organic) fry up is missing in this and come area.

it is the best for its price and the good quality of food, especially the portobello veggie burger. the restaurant is also clean and welcoming, they do not expect it to stop like a chic restaurant, but one of the best neighborhood square to casually for a fulfilled lunch. View menu

If you have had a few drinks in night and need a place to crash in for a hungover breakfast then this is surely the place for you. Excellent value for money. Pricing of the menu is very pocket friendly and reasonable. 10 pounds is all you need to have your breakfast. Good food, good service, mixed crowd and average ambiance.

I, along with my partner, went there for brunch and I have to say it was a pretty disappointing choice. The quality of food was average and it did not have any wow factor which both of us were looking for. The orange juice was pretty bad and the shakes we tried later on tasted horrible. I would recommend you to avoid this place if possible.

The food here is alright, but not brilliant, usually accompanied by soggy white toast. The staff is quite incompetent. In my honest opinion, standing in a queue next to annoyed looking strangers on the weekend is not worth it. The booths inside are also uncomfortable. There are other, better cafes nearby, which you could probably choose over this one. View menu

I recently visited this place and had a lovely experience here. The food was excellent and was perfectly cooked. The coffee was just fine, rather on the bland side. The ambience is pretty comfortable and clean. This can be a nice hangout for a light conversation. This place is pretty reasonable as well and is quite convenient to find. I would love to visit this place again.

We were looking for a place for a late lunch and stumbled upon the Mess. Once inside, we were warmly greeted, seated at a table, and presented with a diverse menu. What stood out was the availability of breakfast items all day, a unique offering compared to other restaurants. While they had several breakfast recommendations, the menu also had plenty of other options. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious. I especially enjoyed the lean bacon and flavorful black pudding.

"A friend and I stumbled on to this neighbourhood restaurant by chance; no research, no booking, no expectations. We were then blown away by the quality of the food: wonderfully fresh fish, beautifully cooked. The service is also exemplary. I've always enjoyed calamari, but this was by far the best I've ever had: truly succulent and juicy. The mussels were almost as good, and the sea bream kept up the standard. The spiced quince with ice cream made a nice change from baclava in a Turkish restaurant (they still threw in some baclava). The owner, Tony, provides excellent recommendations — make sure you take them! He knows what's fresh that morning, and how his wife cooks it. The bill comes hand-written, and Tony forgot to include the wine (obviously I corrected him). I can't remember the last time a restaurant bill made a mistake in the customers' favour! No service charge is included, and it deserves a lot more than the usual 12.5%. This is a wonderful, old-fashioned restaurant, run by a charming old couple, committed to maintaining old-fashioned standards. The food is more than great and the prices more than reasonable. Service is personal, honest and responsive (providing Tony turns his hearing aid on). Tony warns you if anything you wanted was bought in, rather than home-made. Why don't unassuming but wonderful restaurants like this get Michelin stars?"
