The great British fry up

[gadgetman]

I'm on a contract at Canary Wharf and there are loads of places to eat but for the life of me I can't find one that does a breakfast fry up.

Anyone else working down here? Is there anywhere to get proper bacon and eggs for breakfast?

Are Frescos still operating? - they used to do a great breakefast bap!

Not noticed that place but I need a sit down meal, with a plate (I'm doing Atkins).

Can't believe my all-singing all-dancing canteen doesn't do a cooked breakfast.

There's a place inside the shopping mall when you come off the train (underground) don't go to the main entrance - go to the route as if you are going to HSBC bank (side way escalators) then you are in the shopping mall, first shop on your left is the flower place... if you keep walking you'll see a Cafe that serves full breakfast.

Everything in CW is soooo expensive though... was there on prev contract and on a daily basis I ended spending £20-£40, now I work on a contract near home and yes it pays more than CW, not sure why IBs are being soooooo uptight re rates, any how I don't spend a penny all day (cuz am fasting now )

Used to do a roaring trade in a greasy fry up a few years back. Perhaps he's still in business, I don't get time to put the telly on so much nowadays

You might find something on here.

Someone sent me this a while ago and it made me think I couldn't imagine a much less appealing website. On a par with www.visitmossside.co.uk or www.visitswansea.co.uk (I just made those up although they might exist).

How can you work in Canary Wharf? Whenever I have to go down there I feel like going 'postal'.

Something to do with the rate

Thanks for the info. I don't use the tube so I'm not quite sure where this is but I'll try and find it.

As for rates this is a grand a month more for me than my previous rate which was also my best ever. Plus the job is a grade lower.

Fiascos (at least that's what I always thought they were called ) used to be great for breakfast, but unfortunately are not there any more, replaced by a coffee shop which was necessary because otherwise you were able to walk a whole 20 metres without passing somewhere to get a cup of coffee ).

There is a traditional looking greasy spoon at Cannon Workshops which is right next to the estate, I've not tried it though. I would guess that it is geared more towards the honest working person rather than the 'suits', given it's location.

Wonder if I'm able to post a link?
