In my mind, there’s no better way to kick off a weekend than with a properly hearty brunch. But ever since my local Hawksmoor in Spitalfields stopped dishing up their once glorious big breakfast (weekends haven’t been the same since…), I find myself increasingly having to look outside of the neighbourhood to quell the brunch pangs. […]

There’s nothing like a good brunch to set the weekend straight. And when you see a statement as assuring as the one outside The Breakfast Club’s Spitalfields outpost and a whimsical, neon-red sign inside promising ‘Sex, Drugs and Bacon rolls’, you really start to believe it’s going to be a great day even before walking […]

With some members travelling (while others a little too hungover to get out of bed), it was a smaller than usual gathering for the August edition of our Brunch Boys Club. If it weren’t for the soothing tune of piano keys emanating from it’s off-piste location in Hackney and echoing throughout the spacious warehouse conversion that […]

** Regretfully, Hawksmoor Spitalfields have since done away with their weekend Brunch menu. It seems with the launch of their new bar menu in March 2012, something needed to give. Brunchers (myself included) will eternally mourn the loss of one of the London’s best. For what it’s worth, they still do a mean Burger and […]

It’s been a while since we convened our Boy’s Brunch Club (a.k.a the cunningly abbreviated ‘BBC’).

Cue in the rather quirkily […]

What a bee-ee-Ay-utiful day it was in London today. 20°C…sunny, clear blue skies… not a spot of cloud… and we’re still not even halfway through April yet. Seems the British summer has showed up rather early this year. So off the beaten track to Haggerston I went with J and D in search of somewhere […]

Rufus Street, Hoxton Sq, N1 6PE | thebreakfastclubsoho.com | brunched Sunday Mar 21st …outside the club There’s a real buzz emanating from Hoxton’s The Breakfast Club which you can feel just from standing outside in line. I’ve walked curiously past this Shoreditch institution many a time since I moved to the East End, never failing […]

48 St. John’s Square | http://www.themodernpantry.co.uk | ingested 19th Sept 2009 I’m not one for big breakfasts or early mornings usually (unless I’m forced to of course). Frankly, I’m not sure which hero in the history of humanity invented the tagline “…eat Breakfast like a king, Lunch like a prince and Dinner like a pauper”. […]
