    Pancakes and bacon and syrup - Oh my!
    Current
    I had breakfast / brunch here two mornings in a row last weekend (return visit after a failed trip to nearby Amato's).

    I'll keep this short.

    Service was friendly (with a hint of California) and very efficient (without making you feel rushed.
    I had amazing pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Fluffy and light and gooey all at the same time with properly cooked bacon. Hubby had the cooked breakfast and was disappointed. He sent it back the first time because it was cold and was overall a bit disappointed that the sausage was not fab quality and the bacon a little underdone. I suspect that it didn't help that my pancakes were so delish.

    And when I went back the second day they recognised me. Which was a nice touch but how embarrassing to be seen in the gay area of London tucking in to pancakes AND syrup AND bacon two days in a row, when all the other punters are so fit!
