As a boy in 80’s I used to work here with my Dad on Saturday’s who was a driver for a company called Marshes, he’d deliver fish all over SW,SE London. Many happy memories in that cafe and at the market. Thank you for sharing your experience.
In those days in London, a full English cost a lot less than a fiver! And that was whilst working around Piccadilly Circus/ Leicester Square! I remember it well….
Kudos to Gary's 3am commitment to us. I've always liked how Gary even as his popularity has grown, he's still replying to many of us. Much respect, mate xxx.
Gary, just wanted to say that your videos have been a source of light joy the last 3 months. My wife gave birth to our 3rd child with complications where i nearly lost them both, they are all good now but it was in those bleary eyed sleepless nights where your videos gave me a little joy. Tha ks mate
I wish you all well. Every blessing. I know exactly how good Gary's videos are in the small hours. So glad your wife and little one are okay now. Enjoy your lives together now.
@@GaryEats I've separated out my comment because like the gentleman above I find your warm and pleasant videos invaluable during the small hours. I experience both acute physical pain and clinical depression, and I wanted to say thank you too. Cheers Gary.
LOL!!! We have a small fishmonger here in San Francisco called "Billingsgate." When I saw that name, I said to myself that's a strange name for a fishmonger. Now I know where the name comes from.
There is a good documentary on a Billingsgate fish trader who goes to a New York fish market to see how he gets on there, it is funny... If you can't find it on youtube you might find it somewhere else online.
@@ZaydDepaorYeah it was good he did more than one episode, I think he did India as well, his name was Roger Barton known as the b@stard of Billingsgate
Most Honest. Most genuine. Most down yo earth. Most dedicated. Most happiest food reviewer on TH-cam. I’ve been with you since the start and with you to 90k subscribers. Soon be 100k. Respect Gary my mate
In the early 2000's worked close to Smithfields market, sadly no more. The pubs would be open at breakfast time and the market people would be downing their pints. Thats real London for you and something I guess generations would have done..
That's all gone now they ditched the cock tavern not just that the culture has changed over the years . I used to work there the company I worked for did all the refrigeration in there and you go down there at 7/8am Market workers downing pints etc. That part of smithfield is being turned into a museum The rest of it restaurants and bars and shops from 2028 Such a shame .
Somedays I wake up, and I'm just happy to know you're still out there doing reviews. I don't know why. But, you bring me honest joy. Looking forward to more of your work!
donkeys years ago, when I worked nights in the NHS (absolutely hated nights, never accustomed to them and changed jobs for less money to escape them) there was a caff nearby that opened at 5.30 and did the best bacon and egg butties and tea so strong the spoon dissolved when you stirred it - kept us going for that last couple of hours of the shift. Hats off to shift workers everywhere.
@@crystalmethking good point - but I couldn't sleep in the day and would be mad by the end of the stint. Unfortunate effects on my digestive system too but I'll spare the details!!
You're doing such an excellent job of showcasing these places Gary as well as offering something different from the many other food reviews channels on TH-cam . It would be excellent to watch you visit more of these historic markets and keep shining a light on what makes Britain great! Cheers
My dad used to work at Billingsgate. The market has been officially going since 1698. Congratulations on being the only person in all that time to get to Billingsgate “too early.” LOL. I love your channel.
I used to go to Birmingham Retail Market at 4:30am. An hour or so to go round and do the buying, then it was into the cafe. Their toasted bacon and tomato sandwich was the food of the Gods, especially on a freezing cold winter morning.
Oh my gosh! Just when I thought Mr Gary couldn't take this channel anymore seriously, he pulled a 3 am video 😫. Talk about dedication. More importantly, I'm glad to see he's still got the GARYEATS trademark energy! Well done, my good friend 👍💯🌟👑 1:08
I've been watching TH-cam for 30 years I can honestly say Gary is my favourite TH-camr being autistic, he understands everyone and leave a honest review every time! Glad I've subscribed subscribed 😊
4am fish market breakfast is definitely a vibe. Excellent video mate, something very different! Love how much you clearly enjoyed yourself, you seemed to be buzzing!
Gary - you’ve set a very high standard as a food critic! The thing is, you never dip below that standard even at 4:00am and I look forward to your reviews! Without doubt, you are up there with the very best! That bacon and scallops bun made me drool at the mouth!
Here we go again Gary another brilliant performance as far as l concerned if you say it’s good it will be every time the best food critic by a country mile
Hi Gary from New Zealand. I really enjoy your no nonsense reviews and must admit that I have become addicted 😊. I usually keep my TH-cam subscriptions on high rotate, but yours is one that I will definitely keep on my list. Cheers
I love your creativity when it comes to food venues. It's impossible to work out where you'll be eating next, but it's guaranteed to be interesting :) The best food channel on YT
The bacon and scallop barm looked amazing - definately my cup of tea. My Dad used to be a lorry driver and in the school holidays I used to go with him - the transport cafes had the best food ever (alone with the best mug of tea)
@@poshiesmom I know this because there is a poster on the internet for all different names of bread in the UK - search for "bread debate" and look at Google images 😁 down south we call them rolls mostly.
One of the most joyful I have seen you in a video, so genuine, that's what we come for, but only 9.5? at that value for money, new favourite breakfast to boot, surely a 10 Gary, not seen you so schoolboy excited in a while, a solid 10.
Stayed down in Canary Wharf last year for an Owls game at Charlton. We were intrigued about that market. Also the traffic lights is the first thing i noticed. Great video again! Ps. Canary wharf tube station is confusing af for a northerner 😂
The people who work in Billingsgate market should be applauded for their hard work, getting up so early in all weathers. I would never have guessed there would be such a good restaurant there, your reviews are so good and varied.
I had a Pommy boyfriend - P&O officer - coming to visit me in my tiny town in Australia in 1979. I managed to find him kippers via our one little deli. It almost made the news of our 4 page weekly newspaper.🛳😆🦘
There used to be a cafe next to Smithfield market that serves through the night. Obviously with Smithfield being the main London meat market, their customers wouldn’t accept poor meat, and, sure enough, the place had a roasted ham, a roast beef joint, roasted chickens and a roast pork joint to choose your sandwich fillings from - carved off the freshly roasted joints to order.
Gary, I subscribed when you were just under 70000 subs around 6-7 weeks ago. In that time I've gone through your back catalogue, liking as I went, and I think that I've watched them all now (TH-cam seems to think that I only want to watch food shows now!). I just want to say that its been a joy to watch them all as I really enjoy your presenting style and given the rapid rise in subs, I'm not alone - you'll soon be receiving your 100k button which will be well deserved. Thanks for your videos and long may they continue. Cheers.
those scallops looked so perfectly done! Scallops also with a slice of Black pudding and apple sauce btw! Also, I simply LOVE your infectious enjoyment of everything!!
*Gary,it might be your Hardest Reviewed Breakfast,but totally one of your personal favourites I think 🙌💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻* You were transported to somewhere pleasant with the scallop and bacon Bap . I think that was one of your best,top reactions- it must have been top drawer. And you whopped (woohoo) that was legendary. The market must’ve been so fascinating.something again that has to be done,an essential just for experience and learning. It was extremely interesting throughout. The London markets are packed with fascinating food choices. Brilliant
Another fantastic review gary.....Also full credit to your trusty and reliable cameraman who no doubt is a major part of your success and should be acknowledged... Great work 👍👏
Great Video my friend, Billingsgate was a breakfast stop for me and my colleagues when we were working for London Underground on night shift... But the "3 am one stop" for railway workers, "women of the night" and coppers, is the Bagel Shop in Brick Lane. When I was visiting there, there were two next to each other... one jam packed with people (mostly wearing full orange workwear) and the other hardly anyone! Salt Beef and Mustard and a cup of tea that the spoon will stand up in. If you want another early morning, go look!!
Hi Gary and Mr Cameraman Well i was so so happy tonight that you went to Billingsgate, i know you get thousands of messages but i actually emailed you about this place many months ago and suggested it. Wow and what a place, the Breakfast was amazing and the quality, and the Scallop and Bacon sandwich was to die for. I myself make these and in my humble opinion please use Smoked thick cut bacon, and NEVER frozen Scallops folks. Gary you made my night tonight, but my friend this was a 10 in my opinion it really was. Chris.
In 1981 moved to NZ ,in the hotel I cooked in , we had crumbed fish and fried eggs on the breakfast menu ,they were very popular ,on a busy breakfast could go through a 10kg box of fish ,we crumbed the fish before hand .Love the show and the variety of types of catering places you visit.
I reckon well before that. In fact wouldn't it be great if he and his son received the well deserved you tube plaque next month to celebrate his first year on YT. Father and son both amazing pair.
Used to deliver here from Newlyn in Cornwall & always looked forward to getting in the cafe.Lots of great photos on the walls & if you were on time time the porters would look after you & buy you a great bacon roll.
I really enjoyed doing this review, but I did get back late from Ireland the night before then done this review then went back and had to do comments all day, so it was a bit of a long one but a lot of fun
Gary, do you even have an appetite at 4 AM? I know I don't. 🤣 I was just thinking..... your 1 year anniversary is coming up next month. I remember when you first started. I liked you right from the start, and I've even learned a few things about how to properly drink tea! I drink iced tea here in northern Michigan, USA, despite the brutal winters. This food looks tasty and plentiful. It looks like you needed a moment with that sandwich. 🤣 As always, thank you for bringing us along. 💜
Brilliant video!! Yes as a young boy I was dragged by the chef I worked for to Billingsgate after a service at indeed 4 o’clock in the morning. Huge massive experience! never forget it!
Bacon roll with scallops, who’d have thought it, what luxury! …now also my favourite breakfast. I just showed this to my son who regularly travels to London for the night club scene. Having seen this he now intends to make this his (with his mates) a regular stop while waiting for the early trains to restart. Great find Gary.
Bacon and scallops in a roll?? I love both of them, but not (read: never) that combination, but I'm glad you loved it so much, Gary. I would love to visit that place! It looks very authentic.
@@djstuc I do indeed, but when it comes to cheap disgusting American garbage like hash browns, there is only one opinion that matters...the correct one.
Gary, you always make me smile! Thank you for another delicious review that I'm unlikely to try (I'm in the US) but it's so lovely to live vicariously thru you.
Loved your video today Gary. I think it is the best one yet. Fantastic seeing Billingsgate Market and your face when you bit into the roll, I was in stitiches. What fantastic food and value.
The fish can get a lot fresher if you live in a coastal town. In Aldeburgh they sold it straight from the boat to a shack on the beach. Great review though Gary.
Short comment here. There is something very beautiful about having breakfast outside of home when the rest of the world is still asleep. Before the city is even waking up. Also at about 7am outside when the city is starting to come alive. It just feels so good.
Back in the 1960s I worked on Victoria Line construction my job was driving the tunneling machine, Friday night we would get a job and finish, so it was arse up head down get stuck in and be finished by 2am or so. It was then off to one of the markets for a breakfast and an early hours pint or three. Tons of atmosphere, double bubble, black pudding even a steak thrown on top. Lovely grub.
You are really dedicated. Getting up early to arrive at 3:00 am. That breakfast looks awesome. The full English breakfast must be enormous. You found another little treasure where no one would expect it.
I love seeing that you're up for anything. I'd love to see some kippers on the channel. I remember those fondly from when I visited the UK. Lovely, smoky kippers.
Another amazing review Gary You always cheer up any dull day I could almost taste that terrific scallop and bacon roll! Thanks for sharing your passion for good food
I've lived in the North and South of England and the breakfasts in the South always come swimming in watery beans, always puts me off, here in the North ots a thicker, smaller portion which leaves more room on the plate for the good stuff, black pudding, sausages and bacon etc
Hi Gary. Me, my brother and two friends had Christmas Dinner at a Truck Stop near Wakefield back in the 90's It was absolutely world class!! Thank you for going to proper food places, which are popular for all the full belly reasons. I'm due in this part of the world in the next few weeks. And appreciate your review for breakfast sorted!
@@GaryEats Yes that looked good too, but we hadn't got there when I commented. I'd be interested to see what you did with the scallops - ideas for the future maybe, "Gary Cooks"
Long ago, when i was a student and clubber, we'd often stop off at one of the local market places for the greasy spoon breakfast. This brought back memories of how much i used to enjoy a 3 am fry up, though we had fried bread and not hash browns. So there's a local caff that did a great breakfast, but that bacon and scallop roll makes me want to stay up late and head into London!
As a casino worker, this place and Smithfield marker has so many happy memories for me. Butchers breakfast, with a pint of Guinness. A wonderful way to finish your shift.
What an unusual and absolutely inspired idea for a video! Brilliant! That market looked absolutely amazing! It reminds me of when I used to be lucky enough to go to the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show every year - dealers by the mile, many under huge tents with their individual stalls lined up, an incredible sense of fun, and brilliant deals on amazing merchandise. A TG&M Show for food ... I am dazzled. And the commitment from you and the cameraman is stunning. That breakfast looked like a great reward, and the sandwich especially ... I'll be trying to do a version of that. Thank you so much - and thanks to the fish market and staff for their locale!
As a boy in 80’s I used to work here with my Dad on Saturday’s who was a driver for a company called Marshes, he’d deliver fish all over SW,SE London. Many happy memories in that cafe and at the market. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thank you ever so much Dale
Used to deliver here from Newlyn in Cornwall & always looked forward to getting in the cafe.Lots of great photos on the walls & if you were on time time the porters would look after you & buy you a great bacon roll.

Thank you ever so much Jayne, means a lot
Another great review. Congratulations on passing the 90k subs, well deserved. Have a great day everyone.
Thank you kindly Bino, really appreciate it
Gary, do you even have an appetite at 4 AM? I know I don't. 🤣
I was just thinking..... your 1 year anniversary is coming up next month. I remember when you first started. I liked you right from the start, and I've even learned a few things about how to properly drink tea! I drink iced tea here in northern Michigan, USA, despite the brutal winters.
This food looks tasty and plentiful. It looks like you needed a moment with that sandwich. 🤣
As always, thank you for bringing us along. 💜
I must say Susan, I do not lol. I couldn't go for the kippers or seabass as I wasn't really in the mood for it!! Thank you ever so much
Easy, just stay up drinking until late.
Brilliant video!! Yes as a young boy I was dragged by the chef I worked for to Billingsgate after a service at indeed 4 o’clock in the morning. Huge massive experience! never forget it!
Great memories Chris nice
Brilliant! Loved the video 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Absolutely huge breakfast. Well done for smashing that at 4am!
It was a challenge
Bacon roll with scallops, who’d have thought it, what luxury! …now also my favourite breakfast. I just showed this to my son who regularly travels to London for the night club scene. Having seen this he now intends to make this his (with his mates) a regular stop while waiting for the early trains to restart. Great find Gary.
It’s so definitely worth a visit Nick he won’t be disappointed, get him to pick you up some fresh fish to bring home lol 😜
Gary ❤Your hard work & dedication will take you onto the Next Level Gary 👏
You're lovely Siva thank you
@@GaryEats Glad that cameraman wake at 3am😂
It was a struggle lol 😂
@@GaryEats lol😂
GARY IM IN BRIGHTON ON MY OWN!! XX
I reckon if you got scallops and bacon he’ll be there!…😂
Have a great time!!
Bacon and scallops in a roll?? I love both of them, but not (read: never) that combination, but I'm glad you loved it so much, Gary. I would love to visit that place! It looks very authentic.
It was fantastic Anne
How can people not like hash browns! Great as always.
Hash browns are the devil's poop.
No-one with an ounce of sense would go anywhere near a hash brown. They're revolting!
I'm happy to have them
I love them 👍
@@djstuc I do indeed, but when it comes to cheap disgusting American garbage like hash browns, there is only one opinion that matters...the correct one.
You just soothe my soul after a long week gaz. Keep doing your thing.❤
Oh that's very kind Ben thank you
Gary, you always make me smile! Thank you for another delicious review that I'm unlikely to try (I'm in the US) but it's so lovely to live vicariously thru you.
That’s very kind to say thank you 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lots of London markets have those early doors cafes for fry ups, fish and chips even steaks etc for the workers and public nice vid.
With brilliant quality 👍
Gary, I’ve been with you since 7k subs. Love your videos and your honesty. Keep at it, you and cameraman are doing great!
I appreciate that Andy, really means a lot when I see old subs say that
Hi Gary, I’m an English guy now living in California missing a great English breakfast, loving your channel. Keep it up!!!
Thank you Kevin and appreciate you watching 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Aaaah 😊 love you Gary (and your son-the-cameraman❤) Thank you so much.From a wintery South Africa 🎉
That’s so kind Marina and we love you too 🇿🇦
Loved your video today Gary. I think it is the best one yet. Fantastic seeing Billingsgate Market and your face when you bit into the roll, I was in stitiches. What fantastic food and value.
Thank you very much Melanie I really enjoyed this one x
Gary great to see you so lively at such an early hour After that breakfast so full of beans. Really enjoy your enthusiasm and great reviews
Thank you very much Martin
Great to see you so happy. You sell it so well. A dream.
That’s very kind thank you
The fish can get a lot fresher if you live in a coastal town. In Aldeburgh they sold it straight from the boat to a shack on the beach. Great review though Gary.
Thank you Matt
Short comment here. There is something very beautiful about having breakfast outside of home when the rest of the world is still asleep. Before the city is even waking up. Also at about 7am outside when the city is starting to come alive. It just feels so good.
I agree completely Timothy a fantastic experience
Brilliant surf and turf combo.
Yep
Back in the 1960s I worked on Victoria Line construction my job was driving the tunneling machine, Friday night we would get a job and finish, so it was arse up head down get stuck in and be finished by 2am or so. It was then off to one of the markets for a breakfast and an early hours pint or three. Tons of atmosphere, double bubble, black pudding even a steak thrown on top. Lovely grub.
Great memories 👍👍
My fave review so far, so lovely to see London in the early hours❤ thank u😊
That’s real,y appreciated Nicky x
Legend, really appreciate that, as will my mate. Keep up the great work! 👏👏
Thank you very much
omg 4am here in portugal watching you and drooling glad ive got some wine
lol enjoy Sean 🍷🍷🍷
You are really dedicated. Getting up early to arrive at 3:00 am. That breakfast looks awesome. The full English breakfast must be enormous. You found another little treasure where no one would expect it.
Thank you it was very early
I love seeing that you're up for anything. I'd love to see some kippers on the channel. I remember those fondly from when I visited the UK. Lovely, smoky kippers.
Kippers are coming don't worry
Great video Gaz. Very entertaining your our working class hero keep doing what your doing
Thank you very much Bryan
Another amazing review Gary You always cheer up any dull day I could almost taste that terrific scallop and bacon roll! Thanks for sharing your passion for good food
That’s very kind to say Rob thank you
I've lived in the North and South of England and the breakfasts in the South always come swimming in watery beans, always puts me off, here in the North ots a thicker, smaller portion which leaves more room on the plate for the good stuff, black pudding, sausages and bacon etc
No problem Jason you have the beans exactly as you enjoy 👌
You’ve done it again, Gary. I wasn’t expecting this. Love the way you mix up your reviews. Those scallops looked delicious. Cheers, mate!
Thank you we do try to mix the video up 👌
Hi Gary.
Me, my brother and two friends had Christmas Dinner at a Truck Stop near Wakefield back in the 90's
It was absolutely world class!!
Thank you for going to proper food places, which are popular for all the full belly reasons.
I'm due in this part of the world in the next few weeks. And appreciate your review for breakfast sorted!
That’s a wonderful comment and please have a great time Martin 👍👍
Love your enthusiasm
Thank you very much
That breakfast looked good - one of my pet hates is beans served in a ramekin rather than just on the plate. And that toast looked so good.
I have to say on this occasion, I really enjoyed the roll
@@GaryEats Yes that looked good too, but we hadn't got there when I commented. I'd be interested to see what you did with the scallops - ideas for the future maybe, "Gary Cooks"
That scallop and bacon sandwich looks like heaven. And I can’t imagine walking out of that fish market without dropping £100!
Long ago, when i was a student and clubber, we'd often stop off at one of the local market places for the greasy spoon breakfast. This brought back memories of how much i used to enjoy a 3 am fry up, though we had fried bread and not hash browns.
So there's a local caff that did a great breakfast, but that bacon and scallop roll makes me want to stay up late and head into London!
It's a fantastic place
Great vid as always. Love the added history. Thanks !
I really appreciate that, thank you Donna
As a casino worker, this place and Smithfield marker has so many happy memories for me. Butchers breakfast, with a pint of Guinness. A wonderful way to finish your shift.
What a fantastic start to the day
Great video as ever, thanks, but I wish you'd gone for the haddock or kipper breakfast ...
I understand your point completely, Colin
What an unusual and absolutely inspired idea for a video! Brilliant! That market looked absolutely amazing!
It reminds me of when I used to be lucky enough to go to the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show every year - dealers by the mile, many under huge tents with their individual stalls lined up, an incredible sense of fun, and brilliant deals on amazing merchandise.
A TG&M Show for food ... I am dazzled. And the commitment from you and the cameraman is stunning.
That breakfast looked like a great reward, and the sandwich especially ... I'll be trying to do a version of that. Thank you so much - and thanks to the fish market and staff for their locale!
I agree with you Heidi we forget the dedication of the staff, this was such fun with top quality ingredients 👌. Have a lovely weekend 🙏
@@GaryEats Back at you and yours.
