A fantastic top tier London Cafe. Great grub, old school surroundings, cash only. Marvellous!

Lovely little cafe that looks like it has been there since the beginning of time. This is not an insult, it looks like it’s a proper institution. I came in as I was in the area waiting for someone and I had the special which was pie and mash, and it did not disappoint. It came with Mash and Veg and was all for a very reasonable price. I would happily revisit, the staff were super friendly and the food came quickly. Be warned they only take cash though, so come prepared. I’ve added a pic of the toilet, but don’t let this put you off, it was super clean and to be honest, that is the most important thing in a toilet, not its modernness.

Wow! What a remarkable treat to have found this hidden gem in Norwood on a quiet Wednesday afternoon. I came with my dad - he had cheese omelette and chips (which is his go to) and I had egg beans bacon and toast! This really was a perfect afternoon and I felt light on my toes for the rest of the day, a real testament to the high quality food; not too greasy and cooked with love. I WILL BE BACK! Xxx
