Dying of a hangover? You need food and lots of it, stat. And probably some hair of the dog too. These are the places to stuff your faces at.
Sometimes the only thing that’ll do the trick is a burger, even if it is first thing in the morning. Enter the Patty & Bun breakfast – sausage, egg, bacon and cheese buns in potato rolls and hash browns (which can go in the buns as a veggie option, because double carbs is always a winner). Be warned, this is only available at the Liverpool Street shop and only on Friday mornings!
E Pellicci has been serving the good people of East London for over a 100 years, so you can bet they know what they’re doing when it comes to feeding the hungry and the hungover. It’s classic caff grub, the portions are big, they serve breakfasts all day long and the fry up will cost you less than a tenner. It’s closed on Sundays though, so don’t caught out.
Sure you can get Maccy’s delivered now but if the hangover hits when you’re already out of the house (or you haven’t been home yet, naughty) the Dalston branch is the place to get your McMuffins and your nugs, if only for the fact you can get some fresh air on the roof terrace.
The reason we get up in the morning…breakfast. The reason we get up even earlier is to have breakfast at Dishoom and all down to one special dish. The Bacon Naan Roll. That’s Ginger Pig’s smoked streaky bacon, smeared in chilli tomato jam and rolled up in a fresh naan. Second to naan.
This popular art deco cafe, which has been going since 1946 (the original tiling is still intact), is probably one of the most famous greasy spoons in town thanks to it appearance in several films and TV shows. It’s excellent value too with the standard brekkie coming in at just over a fiver.
For some seriously traditional cafe grub including fry ups, pies and afternoon tea, head to Polo Bar – open all day everyday. Try a make-your-own breakfast in the middle of the night, your hungover self will thank you for it the following morning!
Red Art Cafe is famous for their large selection of fry-ups and Turkish breakfasts. Vegan, vegetarian, or meat-eaters, you’ll be sure to get your fry-up fix here. Get there early though as this cafe is known to fill up fast!
Hawksmoor may be known for its steaks but the Guildhall branch also serves up an absolute beast of a breakfast. Naturally it’s a meaty one, with a smoked bacon chop, sausages, black pudding, short-rib bubble & squeak, grilled bone marrow, trotter baked beans, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and HP gravy. It’s meant to be for two but everyone likes a challenge, right?
We’ve all been there, taking a train ride on the absolute edge. Ease your hangover with a huge sandwich from Sons + Daughters. There’s even ones with crisps already inside and you can get takeaway bottled cocktails. Hair of the dog and all that.
