Can anyone recommend good places for a late breakfast on Sunday arriving at 1030. Ideally near to somewhere for a decent pint afterwards.

Not really fussed what type happy with a fry up or some sort of street food type place.

Thanks

I think you'll struggle, the village store doesn't open on Sundays and the pub only opens 12.00 - 2.00.

I'd take a sandwich.

I can strongly recommend Terry's. It's "proper" in every respect.

Have your breakfast and stay for the pint.

No, it most certainly is not. Especially after your breakfast suggestions.

An idea of where in London would probably be a good start.

The Wild Boar 'bacon' sandwiches cooked in a wok at Borough Market used to be good.

It's all gone a bit gentrified though since I was last there, apparently.

I think that should be Dishoom

Not really bothered where, from my experience there is a thing called the tube that gets you about quite handily. If I like the look of something then I'll go for it.

Don't know what you're after but Caravan behind Kings Cross. Expensive but brilliant Bloody Mary's

OK. I'd look at Caravan, Balthazar (Covent Garden), Duck & Waffle (Liverpool St), Berber & Q (Haggerston), Dishoom, Gabeto (Camden) Breakfast Club, Koya (Tottenham Court Road)

All a bit different but good.

Monkey Nuts in Crouch End - used to love going there for a chilli dog for breakfast when I lived at Ally Pally.

There's a Dishoom at Kings Cross. Basically an Indian street food place. Really popular and a bit quirky. You could get their take on a bacon butty (basically a bacon naan) but the whole brunch menu is pretty interesting.

Great cocktails too.

For a mini chain (I think there are now 3 or 4) it is really pretty good. Much preferable to a Wetherspoons, which you could get anywhere.

Unless this guy is Alan Brazil, I think the quality of the cocktails will be irrelevant.
