£22 is a piss take, a service charge at a cafe is ridiculous
That is ludicrous! I was bought up in a transport cafe in Kington Upon Thames and my dad would turn in his grave to see these over the top inflated prices that are about now!! I can see my dad now cooking the customers bubble and squeak and my mum serving the customers and Purim out the teas and coffee and honestly it was like one big happy family! 2 eggs, 2 sausages, bacon, bubble, mushrooms and beans £4.80 with tea and bread and butter and it was butter! That was 1982! As I grow older I think back on those days and how the world has changed! Love your vlogs and where you end up for your food! X
Service charge in a cafe.. 🤦♂️
Ridiculous.
£22??? That's just crazy! Some of these well known cafes are taking the P
Agreed
How can they possibly offer you toast as a substitute and charge you for bread and butter? That’s an absolute rip off. They can’t possibly justify that for a breakfast.
THEY JUST GET GREEDY
Looked at good breakfast BUT the price is ridiculous…….I personally would not go there…..
It’s London I mean up in the north where I live you can bet fish amd chips for £9. Down London you’ll be lucky to get them for under £20
About the going rate in central London.
@Renwick19 I live London and get my Fish and chips for about 12 quid
@@Renwick19I'm in Kent, right next door to London and pay less than £9 for fish and chips.
Totally agree!! Definitely looked good but 23 quid is highway robbery and a service charge at a cafe, that's absolute craziness. Hope all is well, take care
I haven't been to the UK in awhile, but I remember the dollar/pound exchange rate. This guy paid about $30 American for this breakfast. That is outrageous.
23 sobs...don't care how good it is they can jog on !
Mockney....
@@andywrong3247 completely on your bike!!! Greedy people!
When I visit my daughter in London I can’t go past the Kennington cafe or the corner cafe. Both do fried bread, great value and of course. Both off the charts, Thanks Darren 👍🏻
Very harsh comments aimed at Darren here. Remember, this channel is a food revuew channel so he's showing us different places what are availble and at what price. Yes it was overpriced i wouldn't personally go there, but stop having digs at him for showing us these establishments. I'm personally very grateful for all of DJ's hard work he puts into these reviews in his spare time as when I'm next down in London, it'll give me ideas where to go and where to avoid.
Thank you so much for yet another honest review as always buddy👍
Appreciate it Richard
Dick Turpin had a mask
😂😂😂😂😄😄😄😄
The crazy thing is that you could go to a Hilton hotel and have fresh fruit & yoghurt, cold meats & cheeses, porridge, pancakes, pastries, toast, juice and coffee/tea, plus a full English breakfast as much as you can eat for less than that. Any they will even make you a fresh omelette. I know cafes cook fresh and I prefer that if I can but in terms of value for money there is no comparison.!
I’m glad you pointed out how expensive terrys cafe is it’s just a greasy spoon who over charge
londons always been a rip off joint. that would have cost about 7 quid in the midlands
@BenPlayford-jx1oy yep
So is London!
You are a truly wonderful You-Tuber and have a great British voice. THANK YOU FROM CALIFORNIA!
Wow, thank you!
Shocking price 🤯
Big plate of food but £22 is too much for Breakfast. Thanks for the video. You're channel showed up on my feed just very recently.
The alan partridge mixed with David Brent play by play running commentary over a full English the video is just brilliant 😂😂
I would never have beans in a fry up, tinned tomatoes yes,
Checking in full time all the way from jamaica
Time for a nap after a breakfast like this.😅
Very few places offer fried bread which is a shame as I love it too. They were probably annoyed at having to cook some hence the high price lol
£4 for a sausage /egg ridiculous plus service charge for bringing a breakfast to the table is a friggin joke!!!
Always brown sauce because I am a grownup, but charging that much just destroys the eating experience.
Hi Darren, as always another great video bud i always enjoy them so thanks for taking the trouble much appreciated !, now as you rightly pointed out a nice slab of bubble, so have you ever tried a bacon and bubble sarni ?? maybe food for thought, keep up the good work. Ave It !
Wow my brother your meal looking really delicious
Nah M8!
The prices say exclusivity and opulence, where one can dine in the finest cuulinary delights and bask in an atmosphere of luxury and extravagance,
all the while being. "Just a greasy spoon with notions"
The sprinkling of green stuff on the eggs added £2 to the cost 😂 ps if im working around that area I use the cafe across the road
£23 for a breakfast 😲 what a cheek. Even Dick Turpin wore a mask when he robbed people 🤨
Outrageous that DJ nice breakfast but spoilt by the price of extras. Some while back a group of us went for a 'breakfast special' one guy asked for the special but without the beans, he was charged £1-50p more because it wasn't a special anymore because he left the beans out, madness, cheers.
Yeah i had the same with pizza in sydney ozi
WT actual F????? Charging extra to remove items 🤦♀️
Never liked the vibe of that cafe. Used to walk past it when it never had a name. Not surprised.
Worked in London as a tradesman for 37 years we used to hit the cafe once sometimes twice a day. Not any more. It has become to expensive and now bring in last nights leftovers and some fruit. Most cafes simply cannot justify their prices. Little while back stopped in a sandwich bar in Hatton Garden. Ordered a filled bap, £5.50.. Server said to me would I like some crisps on the side and some salad in the roll. I did think it strange that he would ask if I wanted salad in a filled bap but hey ho said yes. Bap turned up, underfilled, 1 slice of lettuce and 1 slice of tomato. AND, a portion of chips, not crisps. Went to pay and price went from £5.50 to £10.50. No drink. That's daylight robbery and I told him so. On my travels I do note that cafes are no where near as busy as they were back in the day when they were full of builders and trades getting their fill.
I rather cook my breakfast at home as I wouldn't pay that sort of money.
Absolute piss take prices, paying for a reputation. A decent breakfast should cost no more than a tenner.
Service charges are a rip off. In a plush restaurant maybe but not a bloody cafe. Enjoying your reviews DJ 👌
One bean or two ?
2 pound extra 🙄
Looks great brother and my brother in Netherlands has just subscribed ❤❤❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Not sure if you've been, but Maggies on Lewisham is a definite visit.
Wow! Wot you gonna do with one egg and one sausage? I'd perish before coffee break.Thanks for the warning
just work out the ingredients cost price probably 2,80 for what you had at a 68percent profit would sell at 12.80 so the price wasnt obscene ,but the xtras 2 quid a sausage2 quid an egg ect is a rip off seeing that the cost price of an egg is about 12 p and a sausage is about 25 p it would have been fairer to charge 2 pound for both not each ,thats both at 68 percent so the cafe is still making its margin ,im afraid they took advantage of your good nature and they had the temerity to charge service is quite galling,
Way to expensive for what you got.. plus service charge...
Dazza you bent over in that cafe and paid out £22. There cannot have been more than £4 in ingredients there…took you to the cleaners Sir.
Yorkshire battle cry ….HOWWW MUUUUCH !!! 🤣🤣🤣… wow.. looked good but your correct .. Thankyou for a superb video..👍👍👏👏👏
Gary Eats did this one very recently. Looks great. He loved it almost the same as yours except he had scrambled eggs
Did he have an opinion on price?
Who?
@@DJsFoodTravels . He ordered two breakfasts. Don’t recall him having any issue with pricing.
@@DJsFoodTravels Gary's reviewed it twice and loved it. Think you got a bit ripped off though.
@@HowardOfficial . Ronnie Pickering
If you have beans, you don't need ketchup.
Twenty three quid……?? That is outrageous…… be out of business in a week up here in the East Midlands! That would be £6 to £8 here average £10 tops…. And NEVER a service charge in a cafe!
Have you ever been to O'neils in Carnaby Street. Would highly recommend it
You shouldn't of added extras if you know it's gonna be more expensive
🤷♂️
Why not?
Totally agree he's his own worse enemy
@@user-zi4vi1mm4p He's skint but he eats out alot madness
Why oh why do people charge service fees in a cafe ? The breakfast did look delicious 😋 Thanks DJ 😊👍
Good question!
I’m curious do you travel to these cafes on your bike, if so how do you manage to park the bike these days? Great review.
I never like having the squeeze put on when it comes to pricing. That price for that breakfast was not on.
Crazy price. How can they swap any item for toast at no extra cost, but charge you for bread and butter. Surely it costs more to toast bread than to serve it with butter.
Hi DJ, great upload as usual. I do think that generally eating out now is for tourists who don’t have a kitchen.
Sadly, I reckon you are bang on 😢
Thanks DJ enjoyed that I mean charging for bread is a bit much
You should of put a service charge for overcharging you Darren mate 😂😂😂😂😆😆 another belting honest review,keep safe and well always.
It looked like a decent breakfast, but I wouldn't go further than that. At £23 my expectations would not be matched by that.
I live near Terry's cafe and everyday they have punters outside waiting.They now operate a virtual queuing system also and can charge what they like has most punters will
Cough.Have you tried the cafe opposite.
HeyDJ the " bubble" was amazing..... The eggs were "cracking". All washed down with a "proper" cup of tea..... 🙂
Fantastic content as ever dj im 54 yrs old and i can relate to your vlogs and your reviews are spot on , if u break it down its a disgrace that price for example if u walked in and ordered 1 sausage 1 egg and 1 slice of fried bread with a cup of tea they are gonna charge u £6 thats just a complete piss take but they are taking it a step further by already charging £13 for the breakfast !! Unbelievable at least it was tasty but for 23 quid u could buy those ingredients and have that same meal everyday for at least a week !
Just watched Chelle singing at Hoppys. It was really nice to see you there 👍
Used to love Terrys years ago when the old chap was still behind the counter !
Cracking video Brent 22 sovs too dear his nickname must be Terrys all gold.
That looked a good plate of food, just on the expensive side though. At my local garden centre in the Midlands, I pay £10.45 for a full English, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, 2 cumberland sausage, beans, tomatoes & mushrooms, which also includes 2 toast and tea or coffee.
In the USA you couldn't serve that pancake biscuit gravy I like a good American breakfast
The service charge is a rip off now Darren and the extra bits ridiculous my friend
Becks, Red Lion St. Good brekkie for £10.
These cafe reviews are all over UA-cam which makes them popular with tourists who go once and never go back. The tourists don’t care because one £20 fry up is part of being in London. They don’t know it’s a bit of a rip off. The owners of these places are taking the pi$$ but until people stop going it will just keep happening.
Terry’s you ought to be ashamed of that
Bad business Darren, They should have charged you £15 total for that brekkie with the few extras you asked for, No way would they be out of pocket for that, It's pure ££ greed mate.
Agreed Darren defo be avoiding seen you review better for the cost
Its mad the service charges they put on, its seems to be becoming the norm these days - looked like a nice breakfast but hefty up charges for those extra bits - enjoyed the vid DJ
Hi darren hope your good.
I don't think you need loud music just my opinion.
We're are we eating at.
Looks good enjoy.
Ann in Cumbria. 😊😊.
That price is ridiculoso. No Bueno, senor.
Old school bubble sqeek and proper English fry up stay blessed Govner 😊🖤🙏
I like videos like this
doesnt look as fancy as others but man it looks like a good feed....
Dazza could sit down for a week after being done up the rear at that cafe….absolute RIP OFF
£2 for an extra egg or bread & butter is daylight robbery and even for a sausage is bit strong!
Well done for bringing this to everyone’s attention, it might stop others being robbed😉
Hopefully, someone from Terry’s see this!
These restaurants fail to realize when they take advantage of customers, you won’t go back and will tell others!
Is the service charge instead of tipping or is tipping also expected ? Better to stick to the menu than try and get the breakfast you fancy. Deviate from the menu and expect to get shafted. Side orders added to you meal are always expensive.
Sometimes less is more , we all know London is expensive compared with other parts of the UK , wouldn’t be for me personally but glad you shared the experience and people can make up their own minds %
Should have told them to go whistle Darren!
As previous comment noted, Gary eats did a review recently without a fault- think he gave 9.5 😮
I'm just being honest
Who?
Yes I was there recently and found that the breakfast was less impressive thatn it used to be . The menu says all their eggs are fried but it also says you can have poached or scrambled. No swaps allowed . Well of course. you wouldn't want the customers to get the idea that the cafe was there for their benefit. And then the service charge. In a cafe? There should be a sign saying (We'll cook your breakfast for £15.50 but we'll charge another £2.00 to bring it out so you can eat it. :D )
This is an insight to the tourist spots now....for the same price maybe Cafés in Chelsea London would be better....spread those wings DJ's
English breakfast £22 expensive recently I have been eating tinned Haggis breakfast and dinner surprised our nice it is
Darren nice blog daisy outside she looks better.than the breakfast watch Gary eats you will be surprised keep smilling take care 👌👍👋
Ooft! Nice as it looked, that pricing is taking the p***.
That was expensive... I go to a cafe for breakfasts and Sunday lunches, they've got a excellent name around my part of the world, but they never put their prices up. Sunday beef roast £4.95! So some good cafes keep their prices down despite having a good name and some are just greedy. Breakfast looked mint, but I'd just go once wouldn't return at that price. Great video as always!
That is why they have a menu.
Cafe Memz crouch end London N8...brilliant ! Try it DJ...
That was a bit rough all right DJ.Our prices here in Florida have gone through the roof.Get ready,its going to get worse im sorry to say.
Well that was deadly mind! A fee charge to just put a breakfast on a table 🤦🏼♀️ x anyways great video as always beaute ❤❤
Disgraceful all those extra charges for items. No wonder it left a sour taste in your mouth. Other than that the breakfast looked good.
That's normal price ,the breakfast looked good and you commented on how delicious it was
Very confused on why it left a bad taste when you Said it was a good old fry up .
That's the main thing
Yeah, as you say in London, that’s a bit of a liberty! £23 seems very expensive for a fry up. I’m veggie, so I might be way out, but I’d probably be expecting £15 maximum.
Why not try the place across the road next time , I did and it was great, also I had breakfast in kennington lane last week on your recommendation, breakfast for two less than £20 and one of them a builders breakfast, excellent food there
👍🏼😉🙏🏼
I thought you'd been here recently, as I commented and you have reiterated everything I feel. Terry's used to be a great small local spot, they took over the butchers next door and got all high and mighty and their pricing policy is a mockery..
