- Our very first video!
Today, I take a trip to Terry's Cafe, not too far from Borough Market! I've heard a lot about their breakfasts and wanted to come down and try... it didn't disappoint.
Just stumbled upon this guy and can already say he is a legend!
You are too kind James!
You're the man Gary. Came across some of your newer videos and decided to come back to where it all began. Keep it up dude. Rooting for you.
Welcome aboard! Very kind of you mate :)
Yeah, i've just stumbled across his unique style as well only in the last few weeks! it's great no nonsense reviews.
Same here.
This guy will go far.
Dare I say, 100k subs by the end of the year?
Quality, honest, contents!
Same here.
Your channel is so addictive! Can’t stop watching your vlogs. Gord blimey, haven’t had steak, fried egg and onions in donkeys years! This reminded me of the steak my mum used to cook in the early eighties.
Wow. Thanks Simon, means a lot that you like the channel mate. Take breaks though, no one deserves to stare at my face for too long!
I have just watched your very first video and I have to say that I feel like jumping on a train and going to Terry's cafe.wonderful! Positivity peace and love ♥️
Bubble and squeak with a free range egg - one of our guilty pleasures for an easy dinner! With or without bacon, it is satisfying. Takes me back to childhood where, after working hard in the field (we rented a 3 acre field to grow all our vegetables for the year), Mum would be cooking this over the edge of the bonfire, so we had a hot lunch! And it never tasted better than when you'd worked up an appetite like that! And it fueled us to continue the tasks that needed to be completed. Halcyon days of childhood!!
And the eggs we ate then and eat now were/are all free range from our own hens. Nothing beats knowing what goes into these amazing birds, to help them remain healthy and produce dark orange yolks. All natural stuff, and plenty of sunshine.
Oh I absolutely love bubbly and squeak!
10/10 from me.😊
My first time visiting your first video. Lovely to see how your journey began....
im doing the same mate
This is where it all started Julian, it wasn’t good watching unfortunately lol
@@GaryEats It watches well enough, Gary. An auspicious start.. Had to "Give it a go..." PS, do please tell us all next time you get them why you hate mushrooms so much.
I went to Borough Market this weekend and decided to drop in for breakfast at Terry's based on your recommendation. I am glad I did, we had a very large and tasty breakfast each where the ingredients really stood out as top quality, especially the bacon, some of the best I have had in a long time.
I can see why you gave such a high mark to this establishment and I would fully support that. I would recommend people give this place a try if they are in the area.
We did experience a bit of a wait for a table and it is quite a small cafe and is a little cramped. If you like your space then maybe this may not be where you would want to go, but for the food and the price, it's definitely worth it for that alone.
Brilliant to hear!! Glad you liked Terry's. I sat outside in the summer which had a lot more space. Definitely the better options :)
Loving these reviews mate, I’ve been binging them all day! Down with the flu so this is something nice and easy to watch! Keep it up ✌️
I hope you get better soon Sebastian. It's nasty this time of year!
All the worker's go to the 'giggling sausage' opposite. Love the channel. Paul. Elephant and Castle
Thanks Paul 👍
Hi Gary! New subscriber here. Great videos, love the fact your reviews are honest and detailed. Also you're a very calming person. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much. Means a lot. I try to be a concise as possible whilst not taking up too much time. Thanks for watching!
Gary, Still working my way through all your videos. Excellent marking on this one and I totally agree with it, the onions were a nice touch and very well done.
I am a regular at Borough Market and will check out Terry's next time I am there. Thank you for your honestly excellent review.
So nice of you. I even got my own order wrong - thank you!
Hi Gary, I came across your newer videos 1st so I have gone in to your list and am starting from the bottom with you at Terry’s cafe and I will work through them. I certainly enjoy watching them👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Sean. Much appreciated 😊
I❤ love to support the family businesses where I can. Looked like a lovely brunch, 10/10 well deserved,ty for sharing Gary 🎉
Thanks so much.
That’s another place for me to try away from the throngs of Borough Market which is crazy busy these days! 😎
It’s very busy but so is this cafe
I lived near this cafe years ago when I was on exchange in London. My favourite place to get a quality brunch and honestly it was my biggest guilty pleasure as a frugal student. It's set my expectation for English breakfast too high and now I am almost always disappointed at other cafes. Every time I revisit, I get transported back in time and feel like that exchange student all over again. Hope it stays the same for many years to come!
Very very nice! Have you been to Paolo;s?
Good quality plate of food made with quality products.Great video again Gary. Keep on moving forward with these great videos.
Thank you my friend :)
Thank u for all the wonderful suggestions! Can’t wait to try this place!
You are so welcome!
Love it Gary your both are doing an amazing job well done! Gary, I don’t know where you put it all 😂
Stop Stop Stop. You've sold it to me. It looks like a place to go. OMG So good
Glad you like the look of it Martin!
Been going through your videos randomly Gary, and I have to say this place so far has had you the most enthusiastic. Food looked great, quality stuff. And for the price for what you got and where the 😅ingredients were sourced. Great Value. Top Notch 👍👍
Thank you! It was my first ever review!
Discovered the channel recently with me pals so of course had to come watch the original vid. Love the content. Me and me friends watch it weekly!
Awesome, thank you and all your friends as well really appreciated 😊
Delicious, delicious, delicious cuisine. 👍😊❤. Blessings from Texas,USA. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi Brian. All the best to you :)
Lovely food, I haven't eaten bubble 'n' squeak for decades! Looked so delicious Gary, no wonder you felt full-up. Unfortunately if I went there I couldn't scan the menu as I don't have a phone, hopefully they have old-fashioned ordering as well. Very happy to see that Mr. Cameraman was allowed a cup of tea. All the best from Tania and Chirpy Pigeon.
Hello to both of you. I love bubble and squeak as well!
Looks yummy. I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for another video!
Thank you for watching Cindy x
Only just seen this Gary , it reminded me that i went in here in the late 1980s Breakfast i recall was very nice ,how time flies . Your meal looked very tasty also ,love steak and eggs for brunch .Good review mate
Glad you enjoyed it Lee. Top man 👍🏼
Now that looks absolutely amazing Gary!
Great stuff Nick!
Been binge watching you all weekend mate. Going to start you videos from the beginning.
That’s very kind and really appreciated
Love the review on this one! Adding it to my must do list...
Please do!
Gary, I just moved there, you are reviewing all the places I used to live and now live. I walked past so many times and wondered why it was always so busy. I’m gonna try it soon.
Great to hear. Give it a go!
That looked fantastic. Breakfast is my favorite meal, I even eat it for Dinner sometimes. Nice job.
Thank you 😋
Been to Terry's many times, my parents used to go there as well, it's really good, especially their full English breakfast after a night out.
Very nice place and owner is good to talk to as well. Definitely one of the best in London!
I really enjoy your videos Gary. Great presentation style. Keep up the good work! Just watch the healthy eating. I'm not sure brown toast is enough 😅
Thank you Eoghan. It’s definitely not enough mate!
Take this to another level Gary, try food outside London your the man to do it!!
Don’t worry, I’ve got lots of plans to do this!
Cheers and thanks again Gary! Helping me through a really hard time health wise.
Stephen I wish you the very best
Looks great Gary, another v good review 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just really found your channel Gary so watching some back catalogues heard of terrys looks amazing will have to try it when we are playing away in london next loving your vlogs and honest reviews
Welcome aboard! You’ll enjoy it mate, excellent food.
Yum yum yum, if only we could reach through the screen lol, that looked gorgeous ❤
So good!!
I just had to take a look , So glad you gave it a go ! Did you ever think you would hit 74.5 k subscribers ?
Absolutely never David I’m totally amazed
missed this,that is amazing.thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have never heard of bubble n squeak. Anyway, another super relaxing and fun vlog!
Thank you. It's a wonderful concoction of cabbage and potato.
I used to work in Gt Suffolk Street in the 90s and Terry's was my go to. So glad it's still going strong and that you enjoyed it so much
Superb place.
Actually that’s a good price, when the breakfast has a steak with it. May go there myself Gary. Another epic video mate.
Thanks Dale. I did try and mention that the addition of a steak made it more expensive. It's a terrific place!
Hi Gary. Thought the steak looked a bit over, but the rest of it looked bloody bangin'! Wish I was there; I think I would have ordered the same. That B&S looked like a work of art!
Enjoyed the vid, pal. New to your channel, will check out more.
👍
Thanks for commenting mate. Glad you’re liking the video and checking out more. Terry’s cafe is fantastic 😊
Looks really delicious! Hope your excellent cameraman also gets to enjoy the amazing meals you sample 😉
It was! He does sometimes!
Gary,Thought the steak was more medium than medium rare😮 i would call that steak a minute steak due to the thickness. All other components looked " the business 😊 ❤ " Not an every day meal,but high days and holidays, A treat to savour. I can imagine that they do great grab'n'go food rolls or sarnies. Breakfast Baguettes 😊😊 Price is what I'd expect to pay for a top quality brunch in that location. Did i see a second cup of tea on the table? Oh you spoil your crew😂😂😂Cheers 🥂 Allan&Family
Thanks for watching Allan. This was my first video so was a bit all over the place! Good place is Terry's.
@@GaryEats Ah the first video. That must be why we saw the 2nd cup of tea on the table,before the C.T.P found his place in the company! HA HA. I found this vlog a very free flowing, informative and interesting piece of work, well shot.Maybe you should give the C.T.P a signature shot.left table leg.a door knobs, just a very silly 😋 thought
He hadn't come up with any bad suggestions at that point so he was allowed to have a tea! Really appreciate that, especially as it was my first. Hahaha, never fail to make me laugh, Allan. Hope you had a good day.
Looked like a great place, truly a diamond eatery.
Indeed Hugh!
I just checked out your first video to see how you developed. . You only at it for 9 months?? I thought you were doing this for years. That's crazy.! You deserve all the credit you are getting. You are a natural.
That’s a very kind thing to say Michael thank you
I tumbled upon Terry's quite by chance, some years ago, and didn't know it was famous. Me and my mates ate here every day for about 3 weeks, and we really liked it 👍
It’s a really good café, Jack
Complimentary glass of water! OMG what have we come to when this is seen as something to be praised?😂
Tongue in cheek.
Used to work on Great Suffolk st in the very early 90s & popped in to terrys for a bacon sandwich or breaky now and again. Its come along way since... I live a 10 min door to door bus ride away but i still prefer to go across the river to The regency for a good reliable full english
Very good place. Enjoyed it a lot even if I got the menu wrong!
Hey Gary just watched your first video. Good stuff. That place is first class kn Instagram too.
It’s an excellent cafe Mike 👌
Couldn't stop giggling at the bloke on the bike during the intro who was doing some top level photo-bombing!
lol
I went here on a pilgrimage from Adelaide about 2 weeks after this video! And yes, it is sensational, great ambience, excellent service, and top food. Nice to see Austin making a cameo in the background at the start 😂
This was my first ever video 😳😳
Looking good in my books!
Thanks Steve. It's a lovely cafe!
Love your reviews. Thats another place on my list when next in London along with that curry place in Wimbledon.
What I like is that you go for quality at reasonable prices too.
Thank you
Thank you Peter. Please do try both as they're excellent.
I was talking to my fiancé about Steak and she sent me this vlog, first video I’ve seen of yours and very good. Subbed
Thank you, really appreciate that!
Also, subbed to you.
Hi Lee (watched your videos before)!
Do you have an email I can contact you on?
- Gary
@@GaryEats I saw an email on your about page, I'll drop you a line.
A service charge in a cafe??? i live in London never paid a service charge in a cafe bit above themselves i think
Indeed that's an American deal!.Good food,( even though I don't eat meat,but there's usually an alternative!) But not a fan of having to look up the menu on my phone,just hand me the menu pls!
Agreed ....he's just a greedy prick
Dinosaur
@@paulplaskwa1600 Now be nice,she was just stating her experience!. And i was also a little surprised to be honest!
what u mean dinosaur taking the piss charging a service charge in a cafe no matter where it is @@paulplaskwa1600
Are you related to the late great Geoff Hamilton? You look like him and have the skill of making people listen to your every word, love your reviews Gary.
Thank you 👍🏼 that’s very kind of you.
A very reasonable price Gary for this meal. Enjoyed the review very much. What A great brunch. Price's very on par with what our price's are here in Australia for similar meal. Actually, thats not including a beverage ☕ tea or coffee here in Melbourne either. That would be extra very likely here. I think great value there at Terry's Cafe.
Glad you enjoyed it. Terry's is a real lovely cafe.
Never been to Terry's but i have seen photos of the inside never thought it would be so nice on the inside and outside thought it was just a normal looking cafe but it looks more like a restaurant tbf. Great upload by the way you have a new subscriber.
Terry's is probably the nicest cafe that I've been in so far on this channel. Really brings you back to the past for a brief moment. Lovely food as well. The owner is also very nice!
Gary enjoyed that review I would go there definitely 👍
Fantastic Sean
First time watching your channel,loved it. So relaxing to watch,subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the videos.
Yummy!
I agree, just found it this morning instantly subscribed, cracking chanell and very relaxing calming voice
Thanks Matty!
@@GaryEats no problem Gary just the truth, brilliant channel
1st time watching your channel very good and the food looked great.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching and agreed, Terry's has fantastic food.
Not bad price at all looked great well done
Glad you liked it Martin!
They say you eat with your eyes. That food looks delicious. So important to please the eyes as well as the pallet. 😊
I’m with you this was excellent
Hi Gary, Terry's cafe sounds great, have you tried Pellicci's cafe on the Bethnal Green Road, it's been there since 1900 serving food to the working classes, it's known for it's Art Deco interior and of course it's full English breakfast, it used to be my goal cafe until I moved away and I can recommend it to you
Cheers
Mike
I've had lots of recommendations to go there and I will assure you... I will be going very soon!
It’s not often you see bubble and squeak nowadays which is a shame. Love a bit of bubble!
Also love a bit of bubble. Will deffo be on the next video!
Great videos, honest simple reviews, 👍😊
Thank you! I try to be as concise and short as possible.
congratulations!! Inflation has really caught up with us. I guess a few years ago, that would have been less than 14 quid
Thank you!! It has.
That really was an easy 10/10! £21 for all that food and a large cup of tea is unheard of in this day and age. If you go elsewhere, a simple cup of tea is £3 or £4 without any food. If it were me, I would note that address down and have as a life-long keeper! Amazing! Thank you for the review.
I completely agree. It got a bit of criticism for the price but there's a big steak on the plate. Thanks again mate.
Mate you're on a different planet!!!!
Why is that exactly?
Conspired by your latest vid (where you returned here) I just had to watch this one. Nothing amiss with this - I did like that touch where you actually showed the bill. Good value. The steak looked a bit over-cooked if you asked for medium-rare. But that's my only thought.
It was overcooked David, I was a bit nervous in them days ….actually I’m still the same now lol 😂
Nice cameo appearance of Austin in the background at the beginning of the video 😊
😁 I spoke to him afterwards.
Nice one Gary, looked great but it was a shame to see a service charge.
Yes indeed Jason.
Nice 10 Gary totally agree.
Chris.
Spot on cafe, Highly recommend.
Really good presenting style. Viiewing another person's enjoyment (vicariously) could be annoying. However, I sense no smugness whatsoever. In fact, quite the opposite. Just gives me an incentive to follow in Gary's footsteps.
Go on Michael “give it a go “ if you need any help just email me please
@@GaryEats Thanks Gary. We suggest Bundobust (Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham). Always had a top notch experience there.
Didn't look bad, but the steak was a bit thin for my liking. Also, felt like something was missing... Yes, B&S is largely potato, but think it could've done with a side of sautéed spuds too. Maybe just me, but think they go great with steak as the occasional break from good ol' chips :) Would give them a go though were i in the vicinity.
Fair comment. Thanks for watching!
Hi Gary
I'm new to the channel. Love your reviews as it gives the honest-man's vreview.
What happened to the chips and beans you mentioned at the beginning of the video?
Would have been too much though.
Thank you. I actually ordered the wrong thing in my first ever review so it was always upwards from there!
Evening Gary the eggs looked too shiny for my liking prefer my eggs cooked longer.Bacon looked good. I know you enjoyed the bubble and squeak but it looked like a brick on the plate. Well 10/10 you really enjoyed it! Thank you it so interesting listening to you.
Thanks for watching!!
I thought the eggs looked perfect you want the yolk as a sauce .
So this is where it began👍
This is where it will be began as you can tell I’ve been nervous in this one
looked nice
Thanks for watching!
An interview with Terry and perhaps his son would top this off nicely. Perhaps next time yoy go?
Austin is a very busy man!
Looks yummy.thought you was having beans and chips with it lol
I made a mistake with the menu lol
Try Giggling Sausage across the road!
Will do.
Very nice, just missing the mushrooms and tomato
Completely agree (apart from the mushrooms).
Wrongly cooked steak, and no beans🤣🤣 excellent review Gary m8👍👍
Not my best mate as it was my first 😃
Love a bit of crispy bubble. Only seem to get it on Boxing Day.
Oh yes.
@@GaryEats I will try that place Gary. It looks spot on. Not the Sexton though, just a good fry up.
Great review looked delicious never seen bubble anywhere up her in Lancashire shame i love it.
Thanks Craig! Can you recommend some cafes for me in Lancashire? Going up there soon!
Compass cafe for breakfast with a twist its amazing quality produce and staff in Blackpool Birley st if fish and chips are in favour Yorkshire fisheries also in Blackpool i have been going there for years but i live in Preston so its always enjoyable when being there let you know when i can recommend others👍
Thank you Craig.@@craigwignall8450
Terry's Cafe is such a lovely place.
I agree completely
I'd call the steak medium , there was a little pinkness in the middle. It did look well done at the ends though.
Anyway that looked really nice
Yes! How do you like your steak cooked?
@@GaryEats Medium.
Love complimentary water.
I remember I went to a cafe years ago and asked for bubble and it was mash potato and peas?I hate peas more than you hate mushrooms but that bubble looks superb and I haven’t seen the review yet✌️
It was superb Stephen!
Just started the video and hoping they didn’t forget the promised beans!!!
👍
Hi Gary- I like Terry's cafe too as you get quality food and the owner is very hospitable. However, Regency Cafe is superior and is the best value for money in London. Since you were so close to Borough Market, I hope you stopped there and bought a few pies from Pieminister to take home!.....;)
Completely agree. Next time!
Yep he’s good it’s where I come from the borough and to be fair a proper cafe is so rare to come by these days he does stand out. My personal favourite is regency cafe in Victoria not as high quality but not as pricey I think it represents a more classic take on a full English and the ambiance of the place is second to none in my opinion. Obviously there’s that cafe in east london featured in many reviews I’ve been there it’s great too I’d say it’s out of these three for the best in London I am and have been a courier in London for 30 years I’d say I know my stuff but hey times move on and I mainly do south london now maybe there’s a new champion out there. Last note Maria’s in borough market before gentrification of that place( it was just a fruit and veg market a few years ago) was easily the best proper greasy spoon without the grease there is a cafe in the market that still bears her name but unfortunately it’s not the same. Last shout out opposite terrys a few shops up is mustard a sandwich shop mainly but great jacket potato’s etc it as a big following in the area that is justified
Regency Cafe is on the list and I will be going there at some point soon! The café you're thinking about in East London is E Pelicci's I think, famous in the film 'Legend'. Will also be going there at some point soon. Thanks for watching Barry!
Yep it used to be known for it's ' Boozers' and I always liked eating some Grub in a traditional Cafe,while I read the paper.But as u stated,times change! I might check it out,the nxt time I'm in London!
Thought you wanted medium rare. That looks well done and what happened to the chips, even though i prefer bubble
Yes, it was definitely medium well when looking back. Got the menu wrong but delighted it came with bubble instead of chips!
Thought I'd go back to your beginning and work forwards.
Yes, an easy 10 - the quality looked faultless.
Yes, it was brunch which makes the meal fall between 2 pillars of culinary greatness ..... English breakfast and steak evening meal, so it wouldn't really suit my tastes I'm afraid as I can't get my head around this delicious mix. Not a problem really 'cause I'd have to go there twice to sort myself out lol !!!!
This was my first ever video Roger so a bit amateurish
You will never see an egg in North America with that amazing color.
Brilliant wasn't it?
Looks good - and great value too! Did the beans not get ordered in the end?
They did not. My first review and already a mistake!
@@GaryEats no good shop bought baked beans here, and I was cooking some while I watched, and made me wonder!
Perfect eggs 🥚🍳
The eggman loves the eggs!
