This is NOT a Full English Breakfast - it's Better

First of all, if you Love everything London and it's history - please watch till the end. Let me tell you, this is not a full English breakfast, it's better than that. In over 300 Darren John videos - a full English has never been on his radar. A fry up on the other hand, now you're talking. A fry up of all the cafes favourite ingredients. Always a breakfast (fry up) but never a full english and a good ole cup of tea. No coffee while eating - don't you agree? Best breakfast fry up in 2023
Andrew's cafe restaurant in Grays Inn Rd is another new favourite with amazing fried bread (slice) banging sausages, plenty of bubble and chuck on the chips. Off the charts - ‪@DarrenJohn‬

Another Great Vlog mate …on my favourite food Breakfast ! may I say it looked fantastic . what a great touch with more historical insight into our great city Darren well done and thank you finishes the Vlog off 👍😀

[@DarrenJohn]

Glad you enjoyed it

@@DarrenJohn Loved the history tour - absolutely mind-blowing stuff

[@jamieround2784]

Get them beans on that fried bread daz

[@normanmckenzie-richmond1616]

I agree with your comment about not supporting the 'Chains'. We all need to support small businesses rather then 'the man'...Well done Darren.

[@Juls27989]

Those eggs were cooked perfectly 😋👌

[@cliffboulton8763]

How can so many people be interested in One Bloke eating Breakfasts/Fry-Ups/Any Street Grub?? You've just got something special going on, Darren especially when coupled with Luke and Daisy Duke. Love the little hidden history bits too. What a magnificent place that St. Bartholomews is with all those narrow passageways around. True London. Well Done (again) Darren, keep 'em coming.

[@DarrenJohn]

Cheers Cliff, nice one

[@samspade03]

Good stuff Darren I will try these places

[@747jono]

Hi Darren Love the videos where you show us around the places you visit thanks. Catching up on your videos. Loved Prague ones. Such a pleasure to watch you do this because you enjoy it,like Gary Eats you take pleasure and so relaxed. Thanks and don't chase the algorithms Cheers Jonathan

[@DarrenJohn]

Awesome, thank you!

[@JimmyBoogaloo]

went there with my cousin/second cousins today. kicking myself for not having the fried bread or bubble. it's good, great coffee, amazing service, all the food was quality. very reasonable. can't go wrong with this place.

[@DarrenJohn]

Andrew's is great

[@richardnoall3758]

Love it, definitely making part of my next visit to London a history tour. So much not seen by the regular tourist trails.

[@DarrenJohn]

Please do!

[@karlturton5119]

Every small business has a special breakfast the way it’s presented and cooked that looked delicious 😂😂😂

So true!

my late father worked in london in the 1960s on the building sites when there was no work here in southern ireland

[@TonyEuston]

Stayed until the end. That church - immaculate. Thanks for taking the trouble

[@verali164]

Love the music at the end, that's the London that should be shown more , not the London we see on eastenders. Good video, looking good Darren. 😉

[@anneperry9014]

Honest, that looks the best fry up I've seen you eat. Yummy!😋😉

[@Redsnapper123]

Looked excellent breakfast. Good video.

[@DeanConlan-pq8kq]

That just looked amazing I could only imagine how it tasted 👍

[@smudgermick]

Wow, thanks for the video Darren. A great lesson on some of London's history. A look inside Andrew's Cafe. It looked amazing (place and food). I will add on my to do list.... sausage, egg and chips is always a winner for me. The extra bits you had just took it to another level!

[@davidferguson9213]

Thank you!!

Looks gorgeous Darren, I can't drink Coffee with food, it's either a Pint of Lager lol or glass of pop ,but with fish n chips it as to be a big cuppa Yorkshire Tea 👍😋🤣Xxx

[@martyn-jq3cc]

I had to chuckle when you were rearranging the grub on the plate as I thought I was the only person that did that. Your right about the fried bread certainly the oil makes it. I'm not from anywhere near London and to be honest never been interested after an initial visit 30 years ago but since I've followed your channel Im actually impressed by all the local eateries and your making it a definite spot where you are to visit sooner rather than later . Excellent vid

[@DarrenJohn]

Appreciate it

[@andyfreer8463]

Some Breakfast love it and tea is essential

[@paulinegiles5757]

Yummy food, plenty of tea with your sugar. Thank you for the historical tour, the architecture is simply sublime. A great vlog Darren❤

Thanks Pauline - I love finding old London

[@lisaprins8285]

So excited to see this. I had told my husband I was going to send you a message to go here and then just like that there you were! I first ate there 35(!) years ago and it is still fabulous. So glad you loved it!

[@DarrenJohn]

That is awesome!

[@lesdavis3596]

Nice one Les

cheers, good video, added to list

[@Jay-Leigh]

Wow! This one touched me to the core at the end. Mainly because one of my ancestors was featured 😢 touching. Then I have to say Darren having finished my five mile walk this afternoon and eagerly munching the old salad, that fry up did look good 😊 I agree tea with a meal will always work best. Loved this Vlog and obviously for personal reason. Thank you for sharing have a super lovely evening … -keep smiling 😉

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you Jayleigh - always positive comments

[@colindarroch4022]

Thanks another brilliant vlog . Chips with a fry for sure a big yes from me . That fry up looked absolutely brilliant so tasty and qualify eggs could have cooked a bit longer but as you would say off the charts. Great to see the historic buildings as well. A big thanks Darren . Colin

[@kazzsimo8276]

Wow what a lovely little find , love the old and the new buildings of London history. Thanks for sharing 👍😁

That was a great food vlog but the London history aspect blew me away. London really is the most incredible place and thank you for sharing. Wow.

[@DarrenJohn]

I love the London no-one sees

[@LeeJohn70]

Looked great Darren, much better than Terry's (Don't tell Terry) Lol Great sausages and better value by far and better service. 👍👍😁

[@jojohnson5493]

Oh DJ I love your vlogs. I love the food, the expresion on your face when its good and the sightseeing. London has so much hidden history. I could walk round and look at all these places all day. Obviously i would need a good hot curry after. Everything in one go and it's not to long with things that we get bored with. Keep up the good work darling xxxxxxxx

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you so much Jo😁

[@DarrenJohn]

Awesome Serena

[@keithjames2450]

Andrew's breakfast..10p more than full English, to get rid of hash browns but getting an extra egg and extra sausage, no brainer!

[@reginaldmolehusband4330]

Loved it. For me I’d have had Black Pud instead of chips but it looks great.

[@iancrawley4009]

That looked the perfect breakfast/brunch. Chips all day long instead of hash browns. Fried bread to boot. 😋😋. Give River Cafe opposite Putney tube station a look. Amazing bubble and really nice friendly family business

Hi Darren. Love your videos. Recently found your channel and now binge watching your back catalogue. London, fish and chips, motorbikes, pie, eels and mash, curries and fry ups. Rearrange your plate - has to be done - eggs on fried bread. Lovely.

Oh wow Darren! I’ve got shivers down my spine from that view of St Bartholemew’s. Nine hundred years since the started the building of it. If only walls could talk! Thank you so much for taking us on another amazing journey around London. Fry up looked amazing too 😋. Please keep them coming. All the Best, Barb xx

[@DarrenJohn]

Glad you enjoyed it Barb, I love adding London's history to the content when I can

[@cphughes100]

This one encapsulates all I love about visiting London, Darren. Often I'll pop up in the summer, book out a room at Imperial College and just tube hop. Pick a place, find somewhere to eat and just stumble on history. No attempt to research, just follow your nose. Loved the ending, those narrow walkthroughs of original London - just wow every time you find one.

[@DarrenJohn]

Nice one 👍🏼🙏🏼👊🏼👌🏼

[@sarakirk9542]

Hey DJ! Nothing wrong with chips if you want them on and also if a cafe serves so early in a morning too. I’ve never been a fan of hash browns. Nice bacon and eggs, sausages even bubble looks good. Love fried bread so it’s a clear winner. Only thing I missed which you usually get is bread and butter. Love a sweet cuppa with a fry up. Nothing better. Great history look about and the street food stalls too. Take care 😘👍🏻

[@DarrenJohn]

I agree regarding bread & butter

[@lorrainedance2945]

Hi Darren I am catching up as I have been poorly with COVID for the second time. What a lovely cafe and food looked fabulous and yes chips on my breakfast and would have had proper bread and butter with it as well I'm a real foodie I'm an Aries girl what can I say (lol) how lovely they wanted a picture taken and the history was fabulous an excellent vlog keep them coming.intresting they have a mixed grill on there menu you don't see mixed grills that often on menus would be great for a review on that.

Thank you Lorraine - get well soon

Looks fab 〰️🥚🍞🥔, I want to eat it now 💯

[@ThePensta81]

Another cracking breakfast!! Love the rearranging of the plate. I do the same. Eggs on the bread/toast (we don't have fried bread here) so it soaks up the egg 🍳 As for the little history addition at the end, absolutely loved it. So fascinating. When you say some the dates of the buildings over there it completely blows my mind!! So sad about what happened to St Barthomolew. Quite brutal times back then but all part of History. I'll never get sick of hearing and learning about History and the past. 📜 Thank you for sharing that with us. Loved it!!! 😊💙👍🏼

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks Penny - I really love finding these tucked away places in this beautiful city - so proud of the city I was born 🙏🏼

All that food looked good, but I wouldn't have the chips(nice big plate so you can moved food around without it dropping off). I used to frequent The Rising Sun pub a bit when I used to work in Barbican.

I know what you mean about the Yolks, they should look white so they are slightly cooked but still runny. I do it by spooning oil over them, otherwise its like eating a warmed up raw egg yolk.

I used to spend weekends in London years ago when I was a young man (late teens early twenties) me and my friends. Took the train from East Anglia. Great times partying, even spent a few hours in a London jail one night for fighting. One night we all blew our money drinking and didn't have enough for a b&b so we spent the night riding around on a double decker sleeping to get out of the cold. Luckily we always bought round trip tickets or we would have never got home. I love London and it's history. I'll be going through there in March and will be doing a bit of looking around.
