It brings back memories of when I lived in east London many years ago. I used to eat in a café run by an Irish lady and she would always serve huge portions. One day I asked her why such big portions. She told me that a lot of her customers may be struggling economically or even homeless, she never knew when some of her customers had last eaten and she said she wanted to make sure no one left her place hungry. She was a lovely lady, always remember her.

Maggie was a lovely eccentric Irish lady, a real character feature of the cafe. My nan would make the family eat here regularly, I was a vegetarian (and into spices) at the time which wasn't particularly their forte but the food was always good honest fare like a decent Sunday dinner cooked with love by your gran, generous portions, and cheap. It wasn't my thing, but I can see why it was popular. Good to see its still going strong years later.

I was one of the many who recommended Maggies, went there every week in the erly 90s, it was our sales breakfast meeting go to place (we all sold photocopiers at the time for Canon). Maggie was such a lovely woman, sorry she's passed, her "You'll be wanting another tea there lads" in her soft Irish accent I still remember to this day. Really pleased her family are still running it and the breakfasts are as good as they were 30 years ago. (As an aside, didn't they film Snatch nearby).

Check out local diners and as we call them DIVES. As far as chain restaurants go, IHOP is one of the better. International House of Pancakes. I live just north of New Haven, home of Yale University, and I wholeheartedly recommend Bella's in the Westville section of New Haven, and The Hidden Kitchen in Branford. Excellent quality and great portions. If you do come here, (we're about 75 miles northeast of New York City) you must try New Haven pizza. THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

So glad to see you do Maggies. My favourite memory of her was a time I was in there when a woman demanded to speak to the manager. Maggie appeared and listened politely to the customer complaining about the bad language used by one of the waitresses. After the woman had made her complaint, Maggie summoned the waitress to her side. 'Now I hear you've been using bad language and that is unacceptable. She effing hates bad language and, if I hear you effing using it in front of this lady, I'll effing sack you'.

What a find! Despite the sausages being of the catering variety, everything else looked good and fresh. What really surprises me is the variation in prices, especially in and around London. After business rates, ground rent and staff costs, I honestly don’t know how Maggie’s can profitably offer such a massive breakfast at the price, it’s truly astonishing. And it surely raises the question whether many other establishments are ripping off customers by selling food at multiple times the price? I know from just doing my grocery shopping that many shops and retail establishments have used the cost of living crisis to unfairly raise prices. And your experience here proves this, in my opinion.. they are paying the same prices as everyone else for food in addition to the other costs I mentioned earlier. So bravo Maggie’s, you’re doing a great job in feeding your customers well for great prices. You deserve to succeed for another forty years and more! Another thought provoking and entertaining video, thank you. 🙏🏻

I've wanted to used his place a few times when I'm delivering in the area and I get a chance to stop. Thanks for reviewing this place Gary as it will inform my decision to try it. £11.95 for all that !!!! My local cafe is in Plumstead and it's £10 for half that much and tea and coffee is extra! Hash browns !!! 😶 Nice to see the black pudding is good and thick cut, and I love to see a fried slice with an egg on it. Eggs well cooked. That bubble looked really good! Plenty of crispyness. The beans have been cooked for a long time and that helps with the flavour. That is astonishing value for money. It's an 8 elevated to 9 for the value. I would have had the liver instead of hash browns.

Absolutely stupendous! True that it wasn't absolute top quality gourmet foodstuffs, but that's not the job they've chosen to do. They've chosen to do solid value and generous portions for a mostly local clientele. They can't be getting rich, so more kudos to them for maintaining their own standards and doing such a wonderful job of it. Honestly - we don't need magic every meal. Sometimes - even usually - a good, solid, tasty plate is what's needed. And it looks like that's what Maggie's will give you.

I reached the age of 52 before finding out that bubble and squeak is a traditional part of a London fry up. When I visited my sister recently, she took me to a place called Crossways Cafe in Nunhead. It made me wonder why I'd never eaten it with bacon, eggs and all the trimmings before. It goes so well. I remember that my dad would always make it for tea on Monday from Sunday dinner leftovers when mum was working the evening shift. Thickly buttered doorstep bread, lashings of HP sauce- proper bloke cooking! I think its best slightly blackened on the outside. That thin layer of charcoal makes all the difference! It's great comfort food and part of happy childhood memories. It was delightful as a young boy to stand and watch over the pan and learn how the food got its name. I really like Crossways by the way. Maybe not a place to excite a gourmand's tastebuds but good, honest food well cooked. Very welcoming and friendly too, Also great value for money. It's vanishingly rare to hear a Northerner say that in our capital city!
