Bern's & the beans

The most amazing staff, food and booze, Mikey Juinior is an incredible host, the pub is in a great location and the vibe is incredible. Will be coming back for the roast. If you’re in the area I recommend a long visit and a long drink.

This is a wonderful place! We had breakfast and they opened the kitchen early for us. We had the Berns English Breakfast. It was a culinary experience masterpiece. You receive a breadboard with delicious fresh sourdough and beans with fresh butter. On the plate is a large, well presented breakfast. The streaky bacon perfectly cooked and not over salted pairs perfectly with a sweet tomato. The black pudding isn’t as intense as shop bought with more layers of flavour. The sausage was of brilliant flavour with a hint of chorizo. Topped with pea shoots. Overall fantastic, will come again. This may be one of the best meals we have ever eaten and well worth the price! (Maybe even under priced!)

Had the full English. FYI Swapped my beans for extra mushroom. Sourdough toast came with soft salted butter and a drizzle of olive oil.sausages were immaculate. Bacon was crispy salty and complemented the meal, eggs were fluffy and buttery, mushrooms were meaty, with a grilled char, perfect. They ran out of brown sauce and were thoughtful enough to run next door and get me some 🤣 so can't complain. Owners are from the east end also! So as walthamstow welcomes global commercial companies lets also support local!

What can I say!!! I took the misses there for a quick bite and the food was amazing, the atmosphere was great and the staff couldn’t have made me feel more at home. The whole set up is pucker. Clean tidy and homely environment. Well done to the owners. We need to see more cafes like this set up.

I arrived and ordered my food and drink at the counter - I sat outside and the waitress brought my drink first. I had my dog with me and I didn’t want to leave her so I asked her for sugar - she simply said it was inside I asked if she wouldn’t mind bringing me one - she didn’t really respond and it wasn’t brought. I would normally be happy to get my own however I was in a dilemma as I didn’t want to leave the dog as she was then settled or my drink as we were outside. I would have totally understood if the cafe was full - I was the only customer! - I am sure it wouldn’t have hurt to be kind in the moment and serve the sugar not much to ask I don’t think ! The coffee was cold and the jacket potato only adequate- will not be visiting again !

There was a rat in the toilet, right by the kitchen. We alerted staff to this and they did nothing and continued to serve customers. No restaurant should remain operating as normal if they are alerted to something like that. It was absolutely disgusting, the rat was sat in the bathroom sink where people are going to wash their hands. Aside from this, the service in there was also not good. Everyone working there seemed young and inexperienced. Every single drink we ordered came spilled all over the saucer. We also had to ask for cutlery as this didn’t come out with the food. One of the meals was missing a main element which we flagged to the staff, there was no offer of money back, they simply took the food back into the kitchen, put the sauce that was missing on and brought the food back out completely cold. It’s a shame as the food was actually quite nice, but we were so put off after seeing the rat.

Been here many times. It is still evolving and doing that very well. Owners and staff are all lovely people. Can be a little wait if they busy but it is worth that wait. Had delicious omelette, egg&bacon sandwiches, jacket potato. Have no complaints all very filling and tasty. Pricing comparable. Get value for money. Best part is they are extremely dog friendly. As we have 2 this is a bonus. We can stop off with dogs instead of having to take them home first. Keep up good work Mike and Cathy & Co.

This place offers delicious homely classic food. The chef has crafted a menu that offers a selection of generous tasty portions. Boasts alfresco dining aswell as indoor space. In addition offers refreshing cocktails. The service is outstanding really welcoming, it's a family run business which is lovely. I have visited a few times with the family and would highly recommended.
