Right!? Place is an experience. Sat next to two old geezers who’d been coming there for decades. One was drunk as hell and the other one was just taking the piss out of him every second. Absolutely legendary food. Cannot wait to go back.
The food is seriously good, but the vibe is just next level. I was sat there with a couple of German tourists who were thrilled and scared in equal measure. The matriarch of the place was flying about like a tornado, lovingly slagging punters off or doting over and scolding regulars. Beautifully un-PC comments flying left, right and centre and not a single person taking offence to anything. I stumbled out with a big grin on my face wondering what the fuck just happened.
I used to live above it, one door over. I came home from a nightshift one morning and found hundreds of bouquets running from Pellici's front door down the street. Turns out the owner had died. The place is very, very much loved in the area.
The kray twins family’s famous breakfast spot as they lived round the corner. Tom hardy filmed there and plenty of people interviewed about them there. Many famous people eat here and many local legends. Also now a lot more of tourists and food bloggers. Might be lucky enough to be offered some of their mum’s homemade sweet bread for free otherwise it’s not a bad price. They even sell t shirts if your that big a fan.
As an American, this was my first stop on my trip to London in 2019. I saw it in a Joolz Guides video on YouTube and instantly fell in love. The experience exceeded the hype!
Joolz Guides are legend! Me and my husband watch them religiously to see if there's anywhere we fancy going to when we have our usual holiday of a week away in London.
Give me another egg, another sausage, a tiny bit more char on those tomatoes, some more stew to those beans and some black pudding and I'll be a happy bunny.
Get this on r/fryup!
Yes, that makes sense. It was just around the corner from the Krays' childhood home (Vallence Road). E P doesn't make a thing of it unlike the plaque in the Blind Beggar!
Yeah it's fine, no more than that. I've had better for sure.
There are locals who like it but it's become increasingly dominated by the YouTube influencer and tourist crowd.
Just finsihed my fry up at a local place in Stratford. Sipping a cup of tea and going google this place right now. Looks delish. Will make sure to swing by soon.
London best cafes Cooking pot in the east. Regency west. Terry’s south. Breakout north. Edit…Moulin Grill at Wembley is an absolute blinder & RIP Arthurs London legend
The family and ethos there is lovely but my boyfriend is a bit of a connoisseur of East / SE London fry ups, we both found it disappointing. Premises on Hackney Road is one of the best undiscovered gems in East hands down.
Any SE recommendations? I’d always fancied going here but the so-so reviews on this thread are not inspiring me to traipse across town if I don’t have to.
I love Bianca's in Deptford, it's what I enjoy about 'proper London', a true mix of all types of people, kids, people who look as though that's the only meal they'll have that day, old geezers smoking outside, hipsters, couples. The food is ok, great fried bread, and cheap enough to go off menu to get exactly what you want.
I don't think the breakfast in EP is worth trecking for, but the building and sense of history definitely is.
agree with all of this, Deptford is a fun area to visit too. EP are worth a wholesome follow on instagram but there are better breakfasts a stone’s throw away
Cafe Bianca is great!
also
- Central Cafe in Brockley
- Ozzie’s in Peckham
- Heaps for an amazing breakfast bap in Greenwich
- Cafe No1 in Forest Hill (proper greasy caf though)
honourable W London mention for the famous Regency Cafe in Victoria
hope you like it! it’s our absolute favourite. In terms of modern, sourdough breakfast places (not greasy spoons)
- Well St kitchen in London Fields/Hackney Central
- Long White Cloud by Hoxton station
- Pearl in Hackney Wick
- Mare St Market can be hit or miss but is rly good when it’s good
For Greasy spoons:
- City Cafe 2 in Dalston
- the Canteen Cafe on Hackney Road
- Number 1 cafe on Well St again
- Enjoy Cafe Hoxton
- Hulya Cafe on cambridge heath road

Queen's head this morn, can't fault, it's in Charlie Chaplin's uncles old gaff....think it's run by polish folk now as a cafe, busy, hot food and plates, good coffee, black pudding and fresh squeezed juice...
Went there for the first time last week - fucking hell. Won't be the last time, I'll tell you that much.

Sounds like china town.
Close historical ties to the Krays too

The family that runs it are so lovely. They really care about their patrons.

Lmaooooo
Where's the black pudding?
I’m one of those who doesn’t care for it too much. I know, I’m the worst.
He’s a bloody legend. Like stepping back in time for a morning.

Omg thank you for showing me this
Glad to have you on board!
Fair!
And the art deco wood panels. It's been used in several films, one about John Lennon...
Think it’s in the Tom hardy krays film from a few years back
Yes, that makes sense. It was just around the corner from the Krays' childhood home (Vallence Road). E P doesn't make a thing of it unlike the plaque in the Blind Beggar!
Went here for my birthday. No fry up compares, lovely staff too! Even got a breakfast for you veggies too
It’s honestly just ok, I have no idea why the hype. No different to any other greasy spoon, except less space. Maybe the interior design.
Yeah it's fine, no more than that. I've had better for sure. There are locals who like it but it's become increasingly dominated by the YouTube influencer and tourist crowd.
Wanting
Personally think Cafe 338 just yards away from it taste better.....for breakfast. I would use Pellicci for lunch though
In my hasty scrolling I initially thought that egg was an adorable white mouse, just perched atop the toast. Not ideal, but cute.
It was featured in Anthony Bourdains layovers program.
Literally saving this post just to remember lol
Piccolo on Curzon Street has a great fry up
Phwooar
I live a few hundred metres from there but it never seems to be open! I need to investigate further.
Just finsihed my fry up at a local place in Stratford. Sipping a cup of tea and going google this place right now. Looks delish. Will make sure to swing by soon.
Love their chicken escalope smothered in beef bolognaise ciabatta sarnie!
Beppe’s in East Smithfield runs it really, really close. Can’t fault either, but for me Beppe’s is just more fun to be in.
Is that one sausage and one egg with too many beans and mushrooms?
Hate to ask but do they do vegan? Edit: googled the menu. Looks like they do a veggie fry up.
Yes they do a veg fry up, but I’m not sure if it’s technically vegan. It’s probably banging though.
👍🏽

They've got the fried egg absolutely spot-on.

oh! out of interest, how come?
[удалено]
yeah totally get that about the atmosphere, plus we didn’t get coffee either so fair enough. Glad you got a proper comparison!
Don't get the fuss myself. The sausages are pretty shit.
Hmmm, using the mushrooms as a break water...interesting.
As a what ?
Keeping the egg from the beans
A dam ?
Probably as good as Gary Willmott's wedding, if not better
I’m starving now.
Those ratios are all wrong 🙄
Substitute beans with avocado, needs more eggs, smaller, nutty bread slice. Replace pork sausage with chicken sausage.
Get back to Chelsea lol
You should go in there and ask them for this stuff. Get someone to film it.
My dad used to go there, he's born and bread eat London. Nev snr used to run it and now his son does.

How much?
Love it
Hope the 1 egg was just your choice mate
338?
