I think you can pick it up inside Sainsbury's, by the window.

I've been in there a few times - the vegi breakfast was good, tho at £6.50 it's a little more than the Phoenix. I always feel myself pulled back to the Phoenix for some reason...the portions ARE massive but mainly it's the proper greasy caff vibe and the fact I've been going in for years.

Thanks...I tend to avoid the supermarkets which I guess is why I've never seen it!

if you preface your visit with a hangover, the Phoenix effect will be even greater

Rest assured a hangover will be present and correct.

I know what you mean but the coffee is terrible and the sausage is horribly cheap. I do love the bubble though. I'm sure my breakfast was only £5.50 - maybe you had the double?

Quite and I've always said there should be a proper cafe in Granville Arcade serving real food to real people at proper prices

But these are the two primary markers of a proper greasy spoon cafe.
There's one next to the new mexican place in the old bit of the market. which is perfectly serviceable. bit more legroom for beanpoles like me than the phoenix too.
They were promoting it at the Lambeth Country Show this year - its produced by the Southwark News people (http://www.southwarknews.co.uk/) which has far better news coverage of Southwark than the South London Press. I think Lambeth Council are encouraging it too as it gives them a second place to put their statutory notice adverts about planning, road changes etc apart from the South London Press.

I guess I just prefer quality over quantity, although I'm not averse to the odd Phoenix once in a while. Just don't have the sausage!

I do like their chips. The haloumi sandwich is the ed's favourite I do believe.

Luckily I've never had one of their sausages. I normally have an omelette and chips but at least I'll know to avoid the sausage in case I'm ever tempted

i don't think it's on the menu at the phoenix. it must be an editor special.

It's *always* on the menu when we go, although sometimes they run out of avocado. 'Tis a mighty fine sandwich.

I looked at "new posts" recently and half the threads seemed to be about restaurants, coffee, recipes and other such bourgeois frippery.
Riot?

Anyone fancy a pint in one of the 'other pubs' later? Nothing silly, just a cheeky one or two?

Always have the Phoenix special breakfast with mushrooms instead of sausage. Perfect fry up. Might even go for one now.
(The sausages are indeed sinister.)
