up to wheni retired i used this cafe many times never had a complaint i was a london Taxi driver in those days and used it from the 60's untill i retired. looking at the video it has'nt changed much i must have been going there for 45 years they always did nice rolls as well and very fresh .
For those that don't know, 'Bubble' (for 'Bubble And Squeak'...) is a kind of fried mashed potato based dish that normally includes cabbage, onion, herbs and whatever happens to be about at the time! (It was normally served upon a Monday to 'use up' the leftovers from a Sunday Roast Dinner!!!) It LOOKS for all the world like a Spanish Omelette, except it doesn't generally contain beaten eggs, (though it CAN!!!) Originally considered a 'poor persons' foodstuff, (because it's based upon pre-cooked leftovers...) it's now considered quite a 'posh' dish in some top British (and Irish) eateries!!! Some places do it with peas and carrots or even turnip added to the basic mashed potato/cabbage/onion mix... Some chefs even add garlic!!! It's CALLED 'Bubble And Squeak' because as you fry the vegetable 'patties' on the pan it 'bubbles' and 'squeaks'!!!!!! (The noise it makes as you fry it!) It tastes better than you'd think!!! xx SF
Thanks, was literally thinking while watching this: what the heck is bubble?! :')
I’ve been eating it all my life. Wasn’t aware it was now considered posh!
Fwiw I bake mine at this point. Not traditional but I love the crust that forms, rather than a greasy crunch
Garlic! Garlic!??? Garlic!!!????
(I live in Bolton - Peter Kay country. 😂😂)
But who put the bubble in ? Cockney slang " bubble and squeak = leak " can also mean an informer , a grass ! Take care !
My God , 3 star restaurant
Finally went here on Monday. There was an actual queue of about 20 people outside. Thought at first they were just smokers outside a pub next to the cafe perhaps. We were starving so decided to sit it out and so glad we did. The guy actually is a machine...total character, remembers everyone's name and shouts your name loudly when your toast is done. Big squirt of sauce all over. Topped mines and the mrs up with the extras, hash browns and black pudding, 2 big mugs of coffee and it came out to about £16. Everything piping hot and perfectly cooked. Talk about bustling, you can't hear yourself think in there with all the chat going on. Great experience that you don't find in Pret, McD's or Starbucks
ONE MILLION BEANS TO COVER UP THE LACK OF FOOD ON THE PLATE LOL
You two make a great duo - Darren is calm and laid back and Lee is always enthusiastic. Keep the vlogs coming guys.
Now that's a cafe !! Best cafe in London without a doubt love it !!
Come to Daveys in Gateshead just across the bridge from Newcastle
Been there a few times, always busy, Bloke behind the counter is a character, Very good at his job and usually bellows out every order when its ready, entertaining.
Another wonderful video - You & Darren always do fantastic food reviews. It looks great value for Central London.
I always like a tomato as a contrast to the hefty fried items.
Used this cafe in the late 70's early 80's when I lived less than 5 minutes from it in Horseferry Road then popped across the road to The Royal Oak or The Barley Mow for a pint or ten. Brings back some fond memories of a time that seems like 5 minutes ago in my head but is 40 odd years ago. Nice vid.
Thank you, Lads.
I finally made the pilgrimage after hearing about this place for absolutely ages.
Was there today and had scrambled eggs on toast with a cup of builders tea, less than a fiver, incredible value for London.
If you think the guy behind the counter was a machine, go when it's proper busy, they have a lady manning the counter, she
is absolutely insane, beats him to a pulp.
The Channel 4 building is within earshot, so you will see people off the TV in there, whilst your enjoying your full english.
Seen that cafe in so many films and shows. Love the retro look from outside. Great review, looked delicious cheers.
Enjoying the content btw keep them coming !!
Don't tell me what you don't want tell me what you do!!!! Great till work!!!
Great score, can't argue! Iconic destination!
You know Darren is happy when he does the little eye squint 😉 looked a good one
Awesome vlog and those breakfasts look amazing. Thanks guys. Made me hungry.....again!! Cheers. Tom⚒
I love to see you both go back to the Palace Cafe and clean the plate
Yes you both got there in the end after my many requests so glad and a 10 rating top work guys.Please let Darren know how happy i am too cheers.
@@DarrenJohn keep up the good work the videos are great and very honest and informative.Can’t wait to meet you guys for a meal one day 👍
Use to use it when working around Victoria years ago allways very busy with builder's and cabbies.
Lincolnshire sausages are the best in the land, Lee.
As a native 'Yellowbelly' you are 100%.....correct!
The breakfast is lovely!
Another great video lee the food looked delicious! And not bad prices for London, loving the vlogs looking to so more from you take care xx
The Double Six cafe on Eversholt Street is the best for me.
I didn’t like how the guy picked up the tea cups not by the handles but with his fingers inside them
I noticed that aswell!
Boiling liquid going in so totally irrelevant point
@@edwardbroomhead4463 I bet he didn’t learn that on a hygiene course
@@edwardbroomhead4463 you’re asinine comment is what was totally irrelevant.
In that case its a good job they never had donuts 🍩🍩🤣🤣👍
Yum... 😋 looked 👌😍
Looked lovely. Enjoy your day. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx
Your videos are top class both of you.
Your mate polished that off quick
That looked an amazing breakfast Lee!
I'd love to see 'deviled kidneys' back on breakfast menu's.
Looked lovely 😊 av subscribed to Darren for wen you leave London 💙💙
They appeared to have left off the mushrooms, tomatoes and fried bread. Plate look empty despite 50% of the plate being beans 😀
Optional extras
That’s half a plate! As my everlasting ‘starving’ son would say ‘that’s a mouthful’.
Looks like a nice breaky.i went down to Looe in Cornwall yesterday and got to say we had the best fish and chips we have had in ages, blooming lovely 👌
Great video 🤗
Must visit this on my next train trip down to London!
judging by the seating this place has history
In the ‘70s went to Mattis cafe not far from MUFC in Old Trafford. Similar thing, and also had draft beer pumps on the counter! Early morning was full of gas engineers, telephone engineers, all having breakfast before heading off to the fitst job of the day! The cafe had ice cream factory in the back run by the Italian family! So after the cafe closed in an afternoon all the ice cream vans would go out on their rounds! Happy days!!!
Regency Cafe Has always been a magnet for Japanese & Chinese tourists so I ask one of them why is it a popular place for East Asians? she told me this is the place where Godzilla met King Kong in the 1960s 🤣🤣🤣
Is this after a night on the ale? Perfect.....
Radio 5 have gone live from there ,good choice of venue.
looks a good breakfast
excellent value for London pimlico area
I wonder where his fingers have been as soon as he grabbed those mugs like that.
Doesn't really matter where they've been nothing is going to be living in a cup when 100°c of boiling water is poured into it
Excellent blog boys , made my mouth salivate big time ! 😝😋 Defoe a 10 plus 👍
Good god that looks absolutely belter! Egg's cooked properly you can tell it has been basted properly with oil to cook it so it is cooked but still runny and not just left uncooked and snotty or even worse flipped over!!
Looks bang on Lee, give it. 10 👍
Yes... I've seen London's Regency Cafe before, and the Full English Breakfast looked very nice. £17.60 for two people with hot drinks and the extras you both had... and in London too is pretty good value. Especially when you think that Lee went to Terry's Cafe and tried their Full English Breakfast a few days ago, and that cost him £13.75 for just himself. If Darren had been there too, you'd have to double the cost of Terry's Cafe... and it would cost you £27.50. Almost £10.00 more than the Regency Cafe, for about the same quality and quantity of food. My only little niggle, was when the guy taking your order turned to get a couple of mugs from the shelf behind him for your tea's, he put his fingers in the mugs to grab them. Mugs have handles, so why not use them!?. Hygiene in the preparation of food and drink shouldn't be an afterthought. But i understand that he might have simply made a one off mistake, so all in all a great review. Cheers Lee & Darren... 🍺
Hot water will kill off germs in mugs. No different to him shaking your and then you pick up a bacon sandwich
Yep. It would cost more than that in our local caff in Australia!
Bubble and sqeak is a northern fry up eaten for Sunday supper form Sunday dinner leftovers sometimes adding chopped up sausage
The Regency cafe is a very well old establishment been doing great breakfasts and lunches for years . As for the best breakfast in London , that’s a very personal choice. You have to take into consideration the ambience and the price . Try the Hawksmoor , blow your mind .
Made our Sunday brunch today..and noticed a 'little bend' in me sausage.. couldn't stop laughing..😆😆😆👍
Lol. 😂 Brilliant.
Banging from Thailand Lee
You are just the Best two vloggers
around
like chalk an cheese
but u work together well
MAGIC
Regards as always from Sunny Thailand
Thanks Big Cee
Those sausages were beautiful!
Can’t fault what they served.
Very reasonable prices.
Food looked good.
Liked the look of the bubble
Nothing beats a Ulster fry
When you go to Scunthorpe Darren get some Lincolnshire sausages from a butcher the best sausages by a mile
Fancy meeting up at Clacton Lee on Wednesday. It’s not too far from London. Rich & Tracey.
Hi. Would have loved to. But back in Nottingham now.
That looks a fab breakfast 😋
Bloody hell DJ eats fast!...
Another good video guys .dont tell me what you don't want tell me what you do want now that's a Londoner 😂
Another professional VLOG Lee, which is evidenced by the 1000's of new subs...... 🍾
Thanks Rich
Best breakfast in London great staff great food
When I worked in the Victoria area 30 years ago we used the Regency cafe everyday and the food was always pretty good , I haven't been in there for a long time but the guy that took your order was the owners son and was doing the same job taking the food orders and the money back then , he must have taken over the place now......he is looking old and grey now like the rest of us I suppose..... 👍
Was thinking of going here or the Ivy tomorrow for a full English. This looks really good! Can’t find a vid for the Ivy so could be a good idea for you to do one 🍳
Looked nice ,price was good ,but where was the mushroom s 🤷♂️🍄,👍😁
Lee and Darren that has left me dribbling. 11 out of 10 from me 👍🏻👍🏻😁
Hello dj and Mac master,,,!
We all have our favourite cafe. I’m a south Londoner who’s had a season ticket at Tottenham since I was a kid. So, south London it’s one in deptford that’s my fave, Cafe Bianca. And in north London it’s bite to eat, on the south side of the football ground, on the high road
Hiya Lee and Darren, now this is a place I know. Lovely place and always busy. Proper mug of tea. Although Lee. Your bacon looked properly cremated. Lol. Darren inhaled his. Haha. He must have been hungry. Great video. Always good vibes with you two. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely day. Take care.
@@DarrenJohn 🤣😂🤣
Layer cake 2004 film with Daniel Craig, worth a visit for that reason alone .
My favorite was the blue bird cafe in Lee on solent, in the 80s, great breakfast cooked by a guy named Howard l think. 😊
Havent long watched another breakfast video in london, and that was the best 🤷🏻♂️??
Look at the scores, also if the title has a ? After it.
Too many beans spoil a breakfast 😉
Been there a few times mate, lovely cafe 👍
Darren the vacuum cleaner! 😆
“Gods cafe” as quoted by a local friend…. mainly from the pre covid, un amplified, but extraordinary voice (of God) calling out the ready orders…. never seen it without a queue to the door…
Don’t panic and try grabbing seats before you order, as they say, a seat will be free by the time you have ordered…..
Food is outstanding 🙂🇬🇧
Thoroughly recommend the Layer Cake…. Morty loved it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My only other favourite is the Polo Bar…. Opposite Liverpool Street Station, since Ponti’s closed 😥
U want to come Ireland for Irish breakfast
Mac,I'm just on the jamesons, at a wedding venue! Nice!!👍
Have a few for me. 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
Macmaster I thought you might have said the best breakfast ' innn the capital'😂 that looked superb, the owner wasn't hanging about was he, it made me laugh when he said to the punter after you ' don't tell me what you don't want tell me what you do want '. Poor Darren burning his chops again everyone knows you have to blow on a bent sausage before putting it in your mouth (steady). Another great video from you guys and I'm strangely hooked on it now get yourself to the pub boys✌️👍🍻
@@DarrenJohn DJ you are the calmer one of the duo, sitting there taking it in and chiming in with sage comments 😂 Macmaster is like he's had six bags of Haribo before the shoot, I'm only playing great reviews and both your channels are entertaining ✌️🍻✌️
That looked fantastic, a solid 10 from me. I liked the picture at 04.55 of the older gentleman sat eating his food (not Ken Livingston but better than Sadiq of Khan being on the wall I suppose) it's a fantastic moody picture that can tell a good story. I would like to go to a proper London cafe and have "bubble" and chips with my full English, it's on my to do list. Another great review Lee.
Went there before I went to coroners Court and stood in the Dock.
Hi lee and darren breakfast looked great have you both had a cholestrol check lately ha ha no great show like you both best of north and south accents keep up the good work peter
That's what you call a good mug of tea nice and strong the breakfast didn't look to bad either lol
The sausage did look really good quality. You guys must be roasting the weather is scorching at the moment 🌞
No it isn't it's overcast and miserable here in the south east!
I know I'm being a bit picky wanting tinned Tommy's & mushrooms but, from what I can see at that price, it's got to be a 10/10. 👍
Lovely plate of beans
The best breakfast in London in my opinion is the Premier Inn Aldgate. You can eat as much as you like as much fresh juice, tea, fruit, pastries and all for £9.99. Trust me I have tried many and none beat this place.
Must admit breakfast looked great but I didn’t like the way the guy took the mugs off the shelf with his fingers in the mugs.
If it had been a couple of years ago before all the covid shit no one would have even noticed how he picked up the mugs !
Bubble is the mash squeak is the veg peas greens cabbage hence bubble and squeak
What? No fried slice? Shame! Great video. I’ve eaten in there many times when I worked nearby. I agree with MacMasters comments about the efficiency of the staff there. Food always arrives quick and is good quality.👍
Cheers Phil. Have a great weekend.
Best cafe in London closely followed by The Breakout. Marco is mustard with all the work he does there.
I wouldn't argue with that, Egg is cooked to perfection. Snackers looked fine and the Bacon had a slight Char brilliant.........Easy 9 Lee.
You must have eaten like 10,000 full english breakfasts in your life so far lol.
Been there never got the breakfast as massive queue . This was in Layer cake
Let's have a nice cup of tea
Yes I thought it was !!’
Darren is great bent sausage and all xx lol x
I bet they do fish n chips cheaper than £69 😅😅
I'm a brand new subscriber, love your easy going personality, you're very entertaining. Your content is really very good( and I don't say that to just any content creator)
Your shooting is very crisp and clear with very realistic colour saturation. Could you please tell me what camera you are using?
iphone 12 pro max. 👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you.
Bloody hell Darren was hungry... Finished and you still had a full plate Lee.... Lol.
did look off the scale breakfast especially them sausages and cheap for london 10/10
bubble is potato mashed with cabbage or greens then fried in a pan with butter. Usually the leftovers from a Sunday roast. As far as I know, it doesn't Vary that much !!!
