Pick'n'mix menu a winner for this fussy girl 7th June 2009

I have long been obsessed with brunch. As well as being damn tasty it's my favourite way to recover from a big night out, and the Premisies is my new favourite after an in-the-know friend took me there a couple of months back.

Connected to a recording studio the walls are filled with signed pictures of rock and pop stars complimenting the food which serve as a good distraction from a pounding head.

The juices (freshly squeezed naturally) and coffees are all top notch, but the highlight for me is the pick'n'mix option for the breakfast. Rather than be scolded for substiting menu items, the Premisies lets you build your brunch from scratch from a list of approx 20 items. Everyone I've been with here has been just as impressed as me, and this weekend I had to use all the self control I have to stop myself from going twice in two days.

Although a word of advice, don't order 'Cheese' for from the list unless you want 1/3 of your plate to arrive covered in a mound of grated cheese. Random, but possibly a suitable punishment for my habit of ordering things just to see exactly what the delivered item looks like.

Top Notch (except one member of staff!) 4th September 2008

I love 'The Premises', for me its worth the travelling time for such fabulous food and coffee.

I very nearly scored this as four stars though, as already noted the service with one of the staff can be hit and miss! I've been served by them a few times, sometimes ok, sometimes you are left feeling as though you are beneath them in the order of life. You know who you are! No tip for you.

The food and the coffee is wonderful, there is a huge range to choose from and being a bit piggy, i've tried most. There is nothing here i don't like!

Amazing breakfasts! 3rd September 2008

I love The Premises for their amazing and varied breakfast menu and friendly staff (for the most part). I usually fo there for breakfast and they have most anything for a British breakfast you could dream and reasonable prices. Everytime I have been (which is a lot) the staff have been very lovely and done their best to accomodate people during busy periods (with one exception when our waitress was a real sourpuss!)

The atmosphere is very relaxed and laid back and it's very nice to go before or after Columbia Road Flower Market as it's just around the corner.
