Historical version 3 of Bermondsey Cafe, SE16 2JN (view current version)

Proper greasy-spoon cafe, opposite Southwark Park, with friendly proprietors. They do fry-ups, chips, and proper meals (e.g. roast chicken and veg), but I have never eaten the proper meals. The fry-ups are good and reasonably priced (chips, beans, and orange juice is £2.30). Proper builder's tea from a very large pot, topped up to drinkable concentration with hot water. Couple of newspapers usually available for perusal, and lots of regular locals (especially on a weekday morning).

The chips & beans are vegan; the mushrooms unfortunately aren't as they're cooked on the same griddle as the bacon etc (which I discovered by getting a bit of bacon in my mushrooms...) Unsurprisingly they don't have soya milk, but they'll do black tea/coffee (you have to specify, it comes milky by default!) Juliet

Be warned - sometimes they close up a few min early on weekends if there's no custom, and they're never open on Bank Holiday Mondays.
