Superb Greasy Spoon Cafes for a Full English Breakfast Fry Up in London | Eater London
"While arguably a slightly more upmarket affair — at what other caff would one find a bottle of Pinot Noir? — Terry’s, set up by its namesake owner in Borough in 1982, is still proper. Terry, a former Smithfield Market butcher, came from a family of chefs and was born and raised in south east London. It’s now run by his son Austin Yardley, who clearly recognises Londoners’ desire for authenticity, however ironic it might be. But look past the own-brand tea and the fact the proper, thin white bread is called ‘old school’, and the breakfasts are joyful. ‘The Works’ is a classic full English with the noble addition of flavourful bubble and squeak, while sandwiches burst with crispy bacon and fine sausages. Make room for the 2 Buck Rarebit, too — the cheese toast with an added fried egg. Terry’s made this year’s OFM ‘50 things we love’ list." - Josh Barrie
