Awesome. Always been wary of taking a trip up the smoke but you bring info and knowledge and make me want to visit. Plus the mega bus from Cardiff is cheap,,,,,I’ll be there soon...thanks

Had to watch it twice quality Darren and off the charts. Thumb 👍 from son in Australia . Thanks Colin.

[@DarrenJohn]

Awesome, thank you!

That`s funny...I was in Beck`s on Saturday before the all dayer in Conway Hall

[@lukerichardson7356]

As a northerner you make London appear ever so much more inviting with your videos 😊

[@DarrenJohn]

I'm so glad!

[@peterolley7159]

What makes London seem uninviting ? I live on the outskirts and it is very different place to what it was

[@lukerichardson7356]

@@peterolley7159 hi Peter, it’s just too busy for me. Don’t get me wrong I love it when I’m there for leisure (not work ) but I’m always glad when I’m on that train or coach back home. It’s just not for me :)

[@Blahshog]

As a Londoner, I am fiercely proud of "My City", do yourself a favour and visit a few of the places that D.J. has reviewed on here, I tell you, you won't be disappointed, yes it's expensive, but there are still some great places to visit that don't cost an arm & a leg. For real bargain grub, visit the East End cafes (greasy spoons), there ain't so many these days, but still a few good un's about, and you'll meet real Londoners.

[@lukerichardson7356]

@@Blahshog thanks Michael I will definitely bear this in mind. Maybe you are right and that’s what I’m missing seeing in these videos! The nuts and cranny’s are probably more suited to me.

[@thelmabrindley2369]

I also was smiling when you said "You can stuff off, I'm not putting my hand in there" Breakfast looked amazing. Love it when eggs are cooked to perfection. 11:24 Just WOW. Thanks for sharing Darren

Brilliant content, nice fry up, watch promo, and a short tour, always a pleasure to watch. I think you will miss your fry up on your road trip, be interesting to see your breakfast through your journey. Thanks again DJ, cheers, Shaun.

Thanks dj

Looked like a nice brunch, love how you add in different bits of London x

[@AllanNeaves-qn3zr]

Evening Darren,another great looking breakfast. I'll add Beck's to my list. W Somerset Maugham was right."to eat well in England ,breakfast three times a day" Mind you in his day : Chops,kidney,haddock&poached eggs ,steak. A old style country house weekend away meal. Then oft huntin' , shootin',&fishin'!!! It's a funny old place ,the past. PS your CV must be a great read?!?

[@julieann6611]

Oh my that looked amazing. The eggs just right for doing a dippy chip. One magic fry up.

[@juliejones2103]

Wow that looked an amazing breakfast. Mushrooms look delicious. I have lots of pepper on my eggs too. You can tell that breakfast was otc, by your smile. Glad you enjoyed it. Thankyou for sharing ❤

Hi well you have found another gem looked amazing well cooked could see ingredients otc,nice watch,take care,keep safe 😊

[@michaeldennis6724]

How do you make fried bread? As a kid growing up in England I never paid much attention when my mum put breakfast on the table, just knew that fried bread was one of my favorites. I've tried to fry the bread in the fat left over from my bacon but the fat just disappears and I have to add some kind of oil or lard. It just doesn't make the grade. Incidentally the old fashioned way of cooking has been frowned upon as unhealthy and disgusting but I'm a man of simple tastes and when I see you enjoying food it makes me realize that my old mum was a pretty good cook and even though she worked she still managed to serve up some pretty good grub. Canadian restaurants would frown on fried bread as being totally unhealthy and if I asked for bubble I'm sure they would wonder what planet I was from. Great vids Darren, keep up the good work!

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks Michael - as long as you soak the bread in oil / or lard is better (or any old frying oil you previously used) then dry the pan, add the bread and dry fry it until brown 🙂

[@corrinaastley6044]

You know what? I had my suspicions you were a chef but never knew for definite. Like you I’ve worked in all areas of the industry since I was 16 but prefer front of house. That breakfast looked quality and people will always go back for places like that.

[@dougedwardsyachts]

I know this area very well as my ex girlfriend lived on Lambs Conduit Street. I enjoyed your review of The Fryer’s Delight, apparently Janet Street-Porters favourite and all cooked in beef dripping. Although I quite liked it we used to go to the North Sea Fish Restaurant more often. Never tried Becks as you couldn’t get in for the Black Cabs outside (sign that it’s good!). Other great places to visit in the area are The Lamb Pub for a beer and The Duke on Roger Street (Art Deco) for beer and food. Near Becks there used to be a great Chinese called Kam Fung (sadly no more). I think nearby there is also still the excellent Pizza takeaway Malletti (Clerkenwell Road) and the original gastropub The Eagle. Overall a great part of central London.

[@DarrenJohn]

Great area for food, I filmed Sams in Red Lion St last year, but sadly no longer there

[@DarrenJohn]

Very kind

[@jimplunkett7283]

Nice, only issues i have with majority of breakfasts is 1) the beans are not stewed/braised. 2) Portabello mushroom or stalks off. 3) grilled from above back bacon on one side, not griddled. Apart from that looks spot on. Chips look great and > hash browns. Fried slice , eggs and porkers look killer.

[@geourgiou]

A truly amazing fry up yet again DJ, it certainly made amends from the disappointment of that fry up the other day in Putney.

[@robcoles8493]

Stellar breakfast there. Not sure why but never felt chips are a breakfast item. Great vlog as ever.

[@junemccann5981]

Hi Darren. How you doin? It might be raining but you always bring a ray of sunshine! Not keen on them placing the eggs on the fried bread as it makes it soggy. But can't take away it looked a lovely breakfast. The famous chip butty never disappoints lol! Fab footage as always. Really enjoyed it. 🥰🌞🥰 Xxx

[@Blahshog]

Oh mate! A proper London " dirty plateful ", as you said D.J. "it's always the quality that counts.". That bacon, and those snorkers were bloody 'andsome, only thing missing for me was the bubble, and maybe a bit of black puddin! Eggs looked free range, beautifully cooked, oh! did I mention the mushrooms! Fab video as always Geezer, take care, best wishes to you & yours. Just waiting for the road trip, how long before the off?

Top review Darren, looked fantastic and I could tell by the look on your face it was. Good to see the bacon was a decent thickness and the sausages looked well proper, all in all, top notch food.

[@andrewroberts4736]

I have eaten there a couple of times . I always liked it cos it's a proper unpretentious cafe. Stalks left on the mushrooms, nice sausages and real fried eggs. Also, if I'm out working, I always keep a bottle of Worcestershire sauce in the car or van. I love it on. A breakfast, particularly fried bread I took it in there and used it, a bit of good natured joking ensued, but the next time I went in, they put a bottle next to my tea!!!!

[@TheLoneWanderersBunker]

I really enjoy your format, and have a suggestion for content. I have not checked your back catalog, but I would love to see a tour of the London museum after a food review. I feel like a food review and an attraction in the same video would be cool. I want to go to London someday, so any non-tourist attractions would be great to learn about. Whenever I go somewhere, I want to see the real place rather than the tourist traps.

[@DarrenJohn]

Maybe some more museums coming in the future

I agree the food looked OTC, and thanks for the surprise at the end! I'll make a deal with you - if you come to NYC I can show you some great places in exchange for being my tour guide on my next trip to London! Only kidding of course as I have no idea when that would be. If you DO come to Manhattan I can send you some recommendations on where to eat and a local Ducati shop as well!

It looked great, I’d have that less the chips. It’s nice to see that they gave you a full slice of fried bread, I’d rather have tomatoes instead of baked beans. I noticed that there was a bottle of sauce on the table from Aldi’s, I’m not knocking Aldi’s products but when you are paying good money for your meal you expect them to be using branded products like Daddies or HP sauces
