Best KPortal Reviews

I had their bread and butter pudding with some coffee and banana bread - all of them were delightful. The pudding was creamy, not too heavy and had just the right amount of sweetness. The atmosphere is wonderful - had the nostalgia of an honest old English tavern. Lots of pictures and antiques. Would definitely visit again for dinner or supper.
This review is for breakfast. And I love coming here for it each time I’m in London.
Food: Breakfast! Weekend breakfasts are tops as they do the Full English then, but weekday breakfasts tick the box too. I had the Eggs Benedict – eggs cooked to a runny perfection with the most delicious hollandaise on a lightly toasted English muffin. And a supporting flat white to wash it down with.
Service: Friendly and attentive without hovering.
Space: A great spot to work out of (quiet work, don’t do your calls here folks, please) and enjoy a beverage and a meal. I can’t say they’ll be OK with folks hogging a table at peak times but I’ve only ever been there pre-lunch.
Cost: So very reasonable for central London, about £25 for breakfast and a coffee.
Takes cards and cash. Give it a go!
I loved the inside of this pub. Super cute and cozy, with friendly service and pretty good food. We came for breakfast and had the eggs with smoked salmon and the French toast. They also served a pretty decent flat white. Everything was reasonably priced as well. We came around 9:30 AM on a Saturday morning and it was not too crowded yet. Would definitely come back.
We love it here. One of the most authentic, traditional and chic restaurants in London. Great decor, candles and white tablecloths. The food is simple but very well executed.
We’re vegetarian and still had LOADS of choice. Highly recommend the Welsh Rarebit
What a lovely place. The beers are fantastic and decor the classic Spitalfields mix of modern-traditional but I must say the staff and the service here really stands out. The staff create such a lovely welcoming vibe that for me, is unmatched in the area. Thank you for creating such an inclusive space.
Nice pub. Liked the atmosphere and the service. It was not too noisy, so comfortable to speak and the seating was comfortable, too. However the food was awful - not just mine. Everything seemed to be frozen food that wasn't cooked too well and microwaved for too long. My cottage pie was very soupy and I've never had such a bad one before. It was also very expensive at about £17
Simply disgusting. Need a new chef. We had good hopes in this warm and welcoming atmosphere combined by seeing good looking plates passing around us.
Sadly we ordered scrambled eggs on toast, and fried mushrooms on toast with side bacon. Both were tasteless. Mushrooms were not fried and watery, eggs were flavourless and bacon undercooked.
A huge disappointment for a simple dish
I love this place, rare to find a family run independent restaurant / bar in the city. Great food, I like that there is now a range of small plates. Particularly good, mostly French wines by the glass. Much better value than some of the trendy wine bars nearby.
Saturday afternoon treat is the piano player- jazz and classic tunes.
