Decent cafe for a full-English in Bethnal Green

[halbpro]

There's a place called Hulya's Cafe that's right by York Hall that I love for some reason. Always seems quite quiet and good fry-ups. This was last time I was there:

Surely not for breakfast. I prefer coffee and croissants in a North Laine deli.
Must be more of a Brighton poseur than I like to admit.

To be honest I mostly skip breakfast, but normally I just have a yogurt. However, there are some days when only a concerning quantity of food will do.

I would like an extra few sausages with that as the one shown appears to be a chipolata

It was pretty large, I just took the picture from an awful angle.

I told my wife that once - she didn't believe me either

Pleased to see fried bread, black pudding and bubble on the Pellicci full-English menu.

That was my local for years in the eighties. Loved the place. Fantastic doorstop sandwiches. Well kept cellar. Laura the beautiful barmaid who married Eric Sykes' son Dave. Danny Wallace's dad. Greta the Princess of Norway. Happy days.

I used the Dog & Bell on a Sunday evening for the excellent quiz nights. I loved it too but it was too far away to be a 'real' local for me in Woolwich. Most of the pubs around SE8 have closed now and there were quite a few back in the early 90s. I've drank in most

What a great place is E Pellicci is. The cafe itself has a lovely 30s deco wooden interior and was very busy with a mix of punters. The host, an east end Italian Spurs supporter, was proper old school class and charm. Got talking to him about my day, football, Chris Hughton and German mustard and white sausage; he showed me the German mustard a mate sends him from Bavaria. The breakfast itself was superb and the tea was exactly how I like it (the colour of the gold Quality Street toffee disc)

And Eric Hall was sat on the next table. Monster monster.

Nice bit of bubble there - great to see.

Controversial to have the egg on toast and then the fried slice on the side though.

Your rings are very pretty, HT.

there appears to be a woman with a tattoo near you
is it one of those communal strangers sit where they want places?

more importantly someone has pinched all your beans and left no trace at all.......bloody cockneys!

Thanks. My nail polish is a little chipped though.

The tattooed stranger is the missus but we did share a table with a couple of young gents.

I didn't even realise my beans had been stolen; the perfect crime.

I suspect Ernest had joined HT for breakfast to discuss important labour party issues

I agree, if an egg has to be on top of something I would typically expect the reverse.

Did you notice that you didn't get any hash browns either? No wonder you were hungry later.

Nooooo! hash browns are an American import, and should have no place on the full English breakfast.

Sacrilege, now go and wash your mouth out!
