Breakfast of Champions - The Breakfast Club, London Bridge

After a late night at the O2 watching WWE, we ventured out late the next morning, after a well-deserved sleep in, to find some food. It was around 12pm when we finally found our venue of choice, The Breakfast Club. I've already visited their restaurant in Soho, so I thought we'd go to the London Bridge one for a change. It was easy enough to find after trekking ages from the wrong tube station, it is like two seconds from the London Bridge station but for some reason, we got off on the one before, and there was plenty of free seats which makes a change from queueing.

I had decided before we arrived that I would be having pancakes. I put all my savoury cravings aside and picked the pancakes with berries whilst Matt went for chorizo hashbrowns with added feta cheese. I also got a mango, orange and strawberry smoothie whilst Matt went for a cup of tea.

My pancakes were amazing! So light and fluffy. With the berries and the vanilla cream, it was so good. The only thing I didn't like was the raspberries as they were very tart, but the blueberries and strawberries went really well with the pancakes. I only managed to eat half of what was on my plate as they were so filling. Matt said that his dish wasn't what he was expecting and on paper, he didn't think it would go but it was delicious. The portion size was huge but he still managed to finish it all off.

The venue had a lot more seats than its sister shop in Soho and as there wasn't anyone waiting to come in it seemed very relaxed. I'd definitely give this Breakfast Club a visit again when I'm in London.

Have you been to any of the Breakfast Club locations? What do you think? Are you a fan or do you think it's overrated?

The Breakfast Club - Soho, London

Before we set off for London I did a bit of searching around to see where was good to eat as I love discovering new cool places. The Breakfast Club was one of the suggestions I got from twitter but I was warned it is really popular and there is usually a queue. They certainly weren't wrong! We waited an hour in the line to get inside, I've never waited that long to get in a restaurant ever but hoped it would live up to its popularity.

When we finally got in after our chilly wait there was still a huge queue behind us, which we felt quite smug about. Inside it was small, quaint and alternative with different nick-knacks pinned to the wall and fairy lights hanging from the ceiling. They seated us in the back and we were soon given our menus.

After waiting outside so long in the cold I needed a hot chocolate to warm me up and although I don’t usually have them I opted for marshmallows. They came in ‘the breakfast club’ mugs, which I really want, and it was the yummiest hot chocolate I have ever had! I would go back just for their hot chocolate!

I had a lot of time to review the menu whilst in the line and wasn't quite sure what to pick as there were so many good things on the menu. I was torn between the posh sausage sandwich and the all American, in the end, it had to be the all American because I wanted pancakes. When it came I was not disappointed all of it was so tasty and full of flavour. There was so much on my plate I had to keep chipping away at each bit otherwise I would have filled up on one bit and not tried the others.

Having to endure the hour-long wait in the queue was worth it as we thoroughly enjoyed our food and drink which was complemented by the friendly staff. I would definitely visit again but next time I might try one of their other locations in the hope it will be less busy than the flagship restaurant.
