"The fry up is classic, with decent, thick cut bacon and those triangular hash browns that are often more satisfying than freshly made posh versions."

"A contrast from the amazing Italian ‘River Café’, this greasy-spoon is an old-fashioned English breakfast place, with a menu that reflects their passion for home cooking. Quirky decor and friendly staff make this a charming little place, while their generously sized portions make it a steal at £6."

"Breakfast, lunch or dinner, the café is always full. Dine on a full English breakfast, homemade apple crumble and big mugs of coffee and builder’s tea in a warm and buzzing atmosphere."

"The 9 best full English breakfasts in London: The River Cafe - This traditional caff feels more like a museum, with formica tabletops, plywood paneling, blue & white tiling, and plates of food big enough to have never heard of a diet. Eggs & chips, grilled tomatoes, and basic Italian fare are served with the simple attitude: if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Expert Travel

"Just opposite the Putney Bridge station is this old-fashioned restaurant passionate about serving good food and making customers happy. The River Cafe, not to be confused with the rather expensive Italian ‘River Cafe’, offers a generous serving of delicious full English breakfast for only 6 pounds."

John Lee

"While exotic items such as salmon and vegetarian sausages appear occasionally, it's the simple but perfectly executed traditional fry-up, pushed from the kitchen through a wooden serving hatch, that hit the spot."

Rebecca Cairns

"Their generously-sized, delicious full English breakfast is fantastic value at £6 and the quirky vintage decor will make you feel right at home."
