A historic, family-run Smithfield institution serving reverential fry-ups and strong tea in green booths where a comfortable, sleepy silence is the norm.
Ordering Strategy
Stick to the numbered set breakfasts for the best value and speed; bring cash as it is often preferred over card payments.
What to order
Full English Breakfast
Reviewers praise the quality of the meat, noting 'nice thick rashers' of bacon sourced from the nearby Smithfield Market and 'delicious Cumberland' sausages.
Beppe’s breakfast #1
A substantial set breakfast that is best enjoyed by adding extras like hash browns and ensuring the fried egg is served atop a slice of 'golden fried bread'.
Vegetarian breakfast
An off-menu 'insider' secret that isn't listed on the board but is available upon request, featuring a 'tasty mix of halloumi, mushrooms and spinach.'
Black Pudding
Highlighted as a standout 'delicious' addition to any fry-up, noted for having a richer flavor than standard versions found elsewhere.

Good to know
Open early (6:30 AM) to serve market workers but closes by 2 PM; the green booths are perfect for a quiet solo meal or a low-energy hang.
