Eating a FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST at LONDON'S BEST CAFE! 

I love supporting family-owned establishments. They work hard for their business to thrive.

Me and my mate visited today for a full English after watching your review Gary.All my expectations were met and you were bang on the money with all your comments.Superb.

Its a Beautiful place - I started working there 35 years ago - All the Lovely Pubs all gone now - Thank you for showing around my past working area

I didn't expect £9 for a cafe with such a high reputation, good value. Looking forward to hearing what you find on your travels Gary, you'll have to think about coming to my neck of the woods one day, Devon.

Nothing more comforting to start the day than a full English. ❤

Your channel is so bad for my diet. Private/family owned is always the best. Another superb video.

That breakfast looked absolutely beautiful. I'm drooling. Proper sausage not the catering chip shop sausage you normally get. I like black pudding but I like it a bit thicker so it isn't too crisp. Bacon looked really nice and proper bread toasted. That looks very good value for £9. I would give that a 10 out of 10. Excellent review as always. Safe journey around the country doing your reviews. London will miss you.

That's amazing value. I wish other places would serve the beans on the plate instead of separately. Good honest food, you can't beat it. Great review, Gary.

I initially thought those eggs were overdone but they were perfect. I liked the thick toast as well. Looking forward to your excursions outside London.

Makes me hungry when I watch your videos, everything looks delicious.

Gary, I love the details of the owners, area, and how you found the cafe. Family owned. It looked great, good price for a highly ranked restaurant. That cappuccino had me putting the kettle on. Thank you and the cameraman ( I hope he noshed and enjoyed every yummy morsel too!) 🥰🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Another great video Gary. what makes your videos good you get straight into the food without a long build up. Keep up the good work 👍

Breakfast looked amazing. Only negatives were toast on the same plate, it's a plate filler needs to on a separate plate. Portion small IMHO for the price. Great vlog as usual. Looking forward to your travels Gary.

Another great video Gary - I like the way you deliver your reviews. Food looked 1st class.

looks great!! and the lovely big portions, chunky toast

I am a self-proclaimed (emphasis on SELF-proclaimed..so don't take me seriously) expert on full english. This one looks pretty good. It is nice to see black pudding. That's pretty rare.. It is also nice to see two eggs. Most seem to just one now...a "diet" english which is slop not worth eating. Thanks for posting

Hello Gary,did you know beans were only introduced into the full english just after ww2.Apparently tomatoes were very expensive and tinned beans were cheap.Any way it all looked delicious.Keep up the great work.Steve

Hi Gary! We were in London this last weekend so we decided to give De Vine a go! So glad we did. We both had the Full English and It was awesome. The sausage and black pudding were some of the best I had ever tasted. Will be going back for more. Thank you for putting me onto De Vine. ;-)

I always prefer fresh bread and butter as opposed to toast.For moping up the juices off the plate.

Thank you Gary & Son, this was a lovely review, I find family run businesses have a vested interest which is why they always come above chains!! 🤗🤗👍👍

I do like a nice breakfast like that, good to hear your going travelling, can’t wait to see the videos, it’s great when you find these hidden gems that are family owned and run

😊 LOVELY LUV BAKED BEANS SINCE 70s l was in 🇬🇧👍❣️Now only do mi english breakfasts in the Netherlands...

Nice to see proper thick cut bread on a full english. I keep saying it, but that looked fantastic! Again.

I agree with your comment about owner-owned cafes as they are more concerned about delivering a decent standard of service and quality of food. I find chain cafes are less bothered, no doubt it's because there may not be a firm policy on presentation, service standards etc. In particular, the food presentation for this establishment was very good and it looked like someone had taken some care plating up as opposed to some very haphazard efforts I have seen. I still wish a lot more places would serve the beans in a separate container as it stops the food from getting soggy. A well-earned 10 here on this one.

Love De Vine. Probably because of their online reputation and the proximity to the Tower of London there are often people in there from many different countries. Everyone seems to enjoy it

I can't wait to try the English Breakfast! It looks delicious!

Gary, I’m gradually working through your back catalogue & thoroughly enjoying them. Just got to this one & I work not far from it, regularly go to America Square for meetings, but didn’t know about this place at all! Will definitely visit, thanks for all your videos really appreciated

Great cafe great value you can see during your filming how popular it is with people coming and going lots of regulars i bet.

I live close by to the divine cafe but have never been, I will be there Monday morning. Great video. Thank you

Amazing value, Gary. All spot-on.

Looks like a proper quality sausage this time.... the real test of a quality breakfast. The egg looked shaky but the reveal of a perfect yolk was a relief.

That was top draw breakfast. I love that crusty bread and the black pudding was the business

these hidden gems are out there , £9 for a full english is great value .keep up the good work gary .

Another great review. It looked an amazing value breakfast for the centre of London. Really looking forward to you travelling around and hope you might try a hot curry ! Thank you for all your hard work and this wonderful channel.

I do like your style of presentation Gary. Keep em coming!

Another enjoyable review, well filmed and narrated. What a great breakfast - served on a big plate and freshly cooked - no reheating in a microwave, eh! Your reviews give good scores at eateries located in or near to London's railway stations - it seems to me if you want good food head for the nearest railway station. Your review reminds me of breakfast on the Yorkshire to London train - freshly cooked full English followed by loads of marmalade and toast - First Class service in the wonderful Mark 2 slam door carriage - quiet and smooth, no spilt coffee. Come back British Rail - all is forgiven! Thanks for your review, Philip.

Replacing the mushroom with black pudding is a true breakfast champion move.

Great value👍looked great looking forward to following you on your travels

It looks great. Nice they let you substitute black pudding for the mushrooms.😊

Spot on Gary, another great looking breakfast!

great cafe....yes, definitely one of my fave...and yes, maybe i like even more than regency....and also agree with supporting small family run establishments...and the price is ridiculously brilliant for the food, simplicity, quality and atmosphere...i also felt like i was in the david lean film Brief Encounter, cause of the trains...well done gary, im riffling through your vides, you have great taste and not an ounce of pretence ....well done....bb

That breakfast looked great! I'll add it to my list of places to eat for my trip to London next month. Great review.

That looked tasty mate,might take a visit in the morning….. leaving a tip in a cafe,you absolute madman!!🤪

Gary's a very likeable bloke. 👌

I went there today when visiting London, the owner is very charming and made us most welcome, certainly knows what customer service is.

Oh my, I was absolutely salivating watching you eat that brekkie ! Controversially, I don’t like beans with a full English, I think I’d prefer mushrooms which I know you hate ! I actually also like tinned tomatoes. Literally cannot remember the last time I had a full English ! Enjoy your road trip, hope you and Mr Cameraman have a great time, I look forward to the ensuing videos

Loved the Decor of the place, those prints looked great! The breakfast looked smashing as well and £2.50 for a cappuccino in London, unbelievable, must be the cheapest around! My Mrs. loves her Costa Cappo in the morning and that's £4 now, well actually over £6 because she has to have a Chocolate twist with it, lol! I know you don't like mushrooms Gary, but would you mind letting us know what sort these places do for those like me, who love them? (You know buttons out of a tin or real field mushrooms) Looking forward to your out and about the British Isles Vids!

Excellent vlog Gary, what a great place you found there, that coffee and very thick toast did it for me. Im amazed at the price for central London, and even there coffee is cheaper than costa's machines in shops. Enjoyed this a great deal, cant wait to see your clips up here in my neck of the woods, Chris.

For central London, that’s certainly not bad. That and a lovely latte for £11.50 good value Gary. I am constantly amazed by the quality of your video. Thanks.

Fantastic job! Cheers and thanks again Gary!

I love getting your upload notification!

Gary on tour! looking forward to watching the road trip

Thanks Gary another gem there and on my list this week to visit! 😎

That was a great value breakfast Gary with quality ingredients. Number 1 rating is justified. No service charge too ! Bonus.

Yes Gary exactly my kind of breakfast i will visit my next time in London many thanks Gary😊

Hey Gary👍 what a fantastic full English and that cappuccino £2.50😲I won't get change from 3 quid here, £9.00 is an absolute bargain for that plate in London I always thought London would charge twice that and expect at least one of your testicles before you could leave🤣brilliant stuff mate that really was a winner✌️🍻

This lovely family place it's worth supporting. 10/10.

Looked very nice. Looking forward to more reviews!

Awesome 👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You can’t beat a breakfast- and this particular breakfast,we all know inside out !! That’s what I know and have- at home of course,even the toast is how I like it. I feel a breakfast coming soon.

the sausage was misplaced! The sausage is a universally-accepted barrier to separate the bean sauce and the egg yolk! Great vid Gary! Looks gorgeous. I walk past there all the time. Will be going in now.

Good to see a proper snorker!!

Been to Devine a few times. Great.

That settles it... our first stop in London this week.. touch down at Heathrow.. check-in, bags down, tube to Tower Hill... DeVine Cafe looks good to me..

Hope your trip to the Emerald Isle is going well Gary despite the slight disappointment with the fish and chips. Just catching up with a few of your historic reviews. That breakfast is amazing. Although from Yorkshire, worked in London for a while 1988/1989 for a recruitment agency just near to where you were in Lovat Lane, just off Eastcheap. Great memories. Was drawn to London although born and bred in Yorkshire was probably the fact my Grandmother's family grew up in the Newham area of East London (probably Essex then!) in the early 1900's.

That certainly looked a decent full English. I should know because I used to serve around 250 of them (between two of my eateries) first thing in the morning. I haven't heard of a cappuccino to be that good and cost only £2.50! The last time I had an Americano in Notting Hill Gate, it cost me £3.90!! Thanks for the introduction, I'll definitely pay a visit. Keep safe.

Hi again Gary, well found, almost a hidden jem. CTP caught the bright, clean almost sparkling interior brilliantly 😊 The panoramic views, catching happy customers was very well shot❤ At first i thought you'd ordered a creme brulee ,but then great looking coffee.😮 The breakfast, first glance, was good.However, i found a slight problem 😮 Was it a cafe breakfast or a restaurant breakfast???As cafe,a beauty. All looked fantastic, the sausage 10/10 The egg seemed to have been flipped, in short a good brekky ❤ But as a restaurant breakfast, one or two picky items 😢 Pre buttered toast,on main plate😢 The half tomato not cored 😢 and again, thin white older egg 🥚 😢I found it a bit noisy (not the rumbling from above, thought CTP's tummy😮) but just in general. The cost of that meal. A bargain, sale of the century ❤❤😊 Enjoy the upcoming trips,take care both of you. Oh and don't drink the water😢Cheers Allan&Family

Breakfast looked smashing and the drink. I particularly liked the toast just done how i like it and white bread and not overdone toasting so you can squish it to mop up. Price ok too. A 10 for sure. 👍

You know how fussy us Aussies are about coffee Gary and that cappuccino looks pretty decent ☕️

That looking belting Gary and a great price to boot 👍🏻

The food looked wow, liked the okra and as you said location is a premium , prefer naan but roti looked good. The price isn’t bad for London prices.. excellent review again Gary.

spend many years working across the road at one America square. Wish they had this place when i worked in the city... they had a traditional pub under the arches back then, think it was called the Cheshire

My old stomping ground... Fenchurch Street line... Come down the steps on the station and you are less than a minute from Tower Hill tube station... When the clocks go back - That's where you pick up the Jack the Ripper tours... Not food related but well worth doing while some of the Victorian sights are still around 😁 Looking forward to the next trip 👍🏻

Gary, will try it out when in the area. Used to work in that area back in the 80s; Devine wasn't there then. Enjoy North next week, I'm heading South!

great food reviews thanks

I'm very curious Gary. Does no one ever offer poached eggs as a substitute for fried eggs.

That looked like a reasonably sized portion and tasty as well.

It looked a real top quality meal and no doubt deserves a 10. Would give a 10 with gold star if there were extra sausages, egg etc .... as per what you know I normally say. Great to see a decent sized plate which gives plenty of room for manouvre. Personally, I prefer my toast served separately (and boy did that toast look tops) My reason is that eating an English is a surgical operation for me in that I will cut my toast into bite sized pieces, bang a piece on plate and then add what I want in loads of different combinations.

@Gary Eats I need closer - Close Ips! 😂 that cappuccino was smazing. The toast looked good.

That looked so delicious!

Ummh. Take off the toast and its just a small breakfast. Quality is nothing better than what you should expect anyhow so I would give it 7/10. One question what happened to Kedgeree ? Not seen it on any of the menus of the places you have visited.

Superb value for money , great to see a proper business ( not a chain or corporation) doing so well

What incredible value!

We subscribed after just one video Gary! We found you over Xmas and haven’t stopped binge watching your channel since! Top notch videos, absolutely 10/10 from us. Oh, but it’s been decided that we have to have a meal on the go (or at least a snack) whilst we watch, or it’s just too difficult!! 😆 Keep up the videos, totally awesome xx

Really well presented on the plate, I think that goes along way... that's the difference first impressions, if they'd have just thrown that on the plate youd have thought not much here and where are the hash browns 🤷‍♂️. Really looking forward to seeing you in York 👍

Try The Village Cafe in Stansted Abbots in Hertfordshire for a full English it is very reasonable money and a top top fry up. You’ve gotta go if you haven’t already.

Hi Gary, me again can't stop watching your vlogs now I've found you. Really enjoy your chat. Cappuccino looked good, I had a Gadgi coffee machine in my establishment which made great coffees and we had our own mix of coffee beans( How about that for posh). Had the cafe for about 6 years then my partner/friend double crossed me so I packed it up left her to carry on which only lasted a while as she was lazy. Like beans in a separate container and No to black pudding. I agree the plate of food looked good. You obviously enjoyed it. Was it hot? Please comment of the temperature of the meals etc as I like hot food and if its luke warm not so nice in my eyes. Thank you Gary

Wow Gary 10/10 not many places get top marks u must have been impressed 👍

As someone whose eyes are often bigger than my stomach, I was eyeing the Full Monty breakfast from the start - you would have gotten chips and an extra egg for just 50p more! I'm not particularly a coffee _or_ a tea drinker, but after watching a lot of your videos recently, I think a cup of Rosie Lee would have matched that lovely breakfast perfectly. I agree with another commenter that the egg looked overcooked, and was happy to see the yolk oozing out when you cut into it. You always seem to choose the menu items that are guaranteed to inspire food envy in me. =)

Very good prices especially for London. Breakfast looks okay, but too many beans and toast should be on the side plate with packet butter. So you’re coming up to Yorkshire? We’ll make sure you try Doreen’s black pudding….it’s amazing! Look out for Kitsons pork pies too.

That looked phenomenal, love a bit of fresh crusty bread on the side and what value for money considering there was a lonely sausage as I’m a bit greedy and love two sausages 😃

That breakfast looks fab gary😂

At least you’ll get a proper brew up North. Looking forward to it. 👍🏻

Looked a very good brekkie for the price. Quality food, fresh cooked. Nice sausage but should have been two on there. 10/10.

We eat like kings nowadays, just a few hundred years back people couldn't afford fresh bread let alone meat and other delicacies!!

That looked a top of the league brekie Kudos to the owner’s delivered perfectly 👌nice one Gary

Great to see a cafe in the smoke that offers a proper full English. None of that bubble or hash brown nonsense although fried bread would have topped it off. A 9.5 for me, with a second sausage would have been a 10 👍

Please 🙏 put more videos out x not enough gary❤

They really are tucked away into obscurity behind three corners and under a bridge, but I'm definitely coming back for another breakfast before going home.

I agree with Alan Partridge. The sausage should act as a breakwater between the beans and egg.

Love ❤ the family 👪 owner business Gary Love my Capppucino...never had Full English Breakfast! 😉😊
