Just what the doctor ordered after a slightly drunker than planned Friday night. Rather than being able to have a nice long lie, we had to be up at 9am to meet a man about a door. Having done this, in order to face the rest of the day (including a trip into town), a cooked breakfast was required.We've never been to the Star Express before - there are loads of greasy spoon cafes up and down Blackstock Road, so we picked the nearest one and headed in.
The Menu:
Every conceivable combination of breakfast ingredients. Mr PP swithered between the Builder's Breakfast and the Mega Breakfast, and opted for the Mega in the end- 2 sausages, 2 rashers of bacon, beans, 2 eggs, beans and a fried slice. I opted for the No.3 breakfast with fried slice instead of toast - 2 rashers of bacon, mushrooms, egg and bubble & squeak. We both chose tea.
Our Meal:
The cafe was very clean and quiet - I sometimes find the necessity to have a tinny radio playing some awful commercial station really irritating, and was pleased to recover from the last remnants of my hangover in peace.
A nice strong cup of tea (obviously served with milk already in - there is no other way to drink tea is there?) was followed soon after by the breakfast. It was well cooked, and I particularly enjoyed the fried slice, which was not too greasy. The quality of the ingredients was good for the price, and I've certainly had a lot worse. In essence, it absolutely hit the spot. No pictures because we were so hungry we were halfway through before I remembered!
Both breakfasts, and some Kit-Kats and Dr Pepper for the tube, set us back the princely sum of £10.40. Bargain!
What we liked:
Clean surroundings, value for money food, the variety of breakfast ingredients on offer - I love some bubble for breakfast.
What we didn't like:
Not much - it did exactly what it promised to do.
Will we be back?:
If in the area, in need of a breakfast then yes, definitely.
