This is NOT what it Said on the Tin

[@thelmabrindley2369]

Well done for helping the person who had broken down. Hope he got to his destination safely. These cafe's need to get the information on their tins right as I can feel your disappointment and frustration when it doesn't work out as you planned, but never fear DJ, we will still be here watching you regardless as your content is excellent.

[@DarrenJohn]

It's nice to be nice Thelma

[@LittleBearBBQ_Food_Original]

Kudos to you. It costs nothing but a few seconds to listen to what someone has to say. Sadly, there are a lot of chancers out there, but you can generally weed out the genuine and, of course, we should always help when we can!

[@laurencorbett5175]

love your vids, thank you for all the work. In the waitresses defense, she probably thought you meant 'not frankfurters' when you asked if theyre real sausages

[@DarrenJohn]

Personally, I don't understand why cafes serve them

[@jonstout9236]

Agreed - I don't think the waitress is at fault for this one!

[@nanabear85]

I'm loving my London break every night I settle down for my day out. Without inspirational people like you the world would be a very very sad place, it's not hard to give a smile or offer a helping hand when asked if it's within your abilities to do so. It's Purely because of you I've started making bubble it's not as popular in Manchester as darn sarf but my god it's bloody good. You truly are a top gent, thank you for taking us on an honestly wonderful tour of London life.

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@EmmaKelly74159]

I always enjoy your vlogs whatever or wherever, we are all part of your day, (hobby). Thank you. 💚

[@alansenior5663]

And another good vlog.Not having much luck lately. Frozen fish, cafe closed. But you did try another place on your list.looked good apart from the sausages. And Darren you are a gentleman. 👍🏻

[@nudgenudgewinkwink3212]

Some people are wary of scams involving strangers asking for you to ring a number which turns out to be a premium rate one thats what maybe the reason the guy got ignored.

[@leemc5646]

Or rob your phone when you pull it out of your pocket.

[@kazzsimo8276]

Really enjoying your new way of doing your vlogs Darren. Love the sight seeing the architecture and of course the history. Thanks for sharing 👍😁

[@DarrenJohn]

I'm loving it Kazz

[@andrewgalt3964]

Another enjoyable post Darren really appreciate your dedication in finding another cafe to review albeit not upto scratch hopefully next one meets the criteria reviewed by you ❤

[@858493]

Thank-you DJ I follow you because l love your openness and honesty, Ive never been to London but you show us all those little places both good and bad and ordinary people, the off the beaten track places sometimes away from the normal tourist tracks.I like your ordinary everyday people.And its so great your helping others, keep smiling my friend and thank you so much for giving and sharing your journey your eyes tell it all at the moment, stay strong regards Doc from Down Under

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you so much Doc 👍🏼🙏🏼👊🏼

[@darranwatson1840]

When my brother and dad were around I’m the late 90s we Used to go to the chapel street market. Always vibrant then. And have fish and chips in a nice fish bar there. Your nice video brought back happy memories the world had changed a lot since then. Always a pleasure watching you and your son cheers Darren

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks for sharing

[@annglavin3139]

Nevermind very entertaining as always.mind you I was slightly triggered with the beans over the egg's 😆 lol

[@lindsaygedling4979]

I am so loving the tours around London and a bit of food thrown in. Your honestly shows through along with you being such a nice guy 👍

[@DarrenJohn]

Very kind, thank you

[@jeremysimpson-b1y]

Great vid DJ! Dont get too down about the cafe not being open, still a great vlog! Have you got soda bread over there? Great on a fry.. it's a classic in Belfast

[@DarrenJohn]

Some places

[@nobby1969]

Such as shame they weren’t open, I go there most Sunday’s, great cafe as I’m sure you were aware, by far the best cafe up Chap, I hope you get the chance to review again, a lovely family run cafe, I always give it an OFF THE CHARTS! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Paul.

[@ladymissp1880]

The sausages look cheap from the get go😂 Very poor! Glad the bubble didn’t disappoint!

[@ScranMan-oi8qg]

I went to the coronation cafe just by Glasgow cross on Sunday whilst I was waiting on my bike getting fixed at the saltmarket. I ordered a fried breakfast consisting of Black pudding, beans, a large unbattered chip shop style pork sausage, fried egg, potato scone, hash brown & bacon. I had a plate of chips on the side too & a pot of tea. I had Gold star brown chip shop sauce on the fry up and on the large plate of chips I had gold star tomato chip shop sauce with salt & vinegar. I had an ice cold can of iron brew to finish .

[@Pco4justice]

Agree with other comments about sausage Gate 😂 great video all the same. Your becoming my favourite Darren 😊

[@TimK2646]

The DUKE!!! LOL this morning learned it was RONSEAL Does exactly what it says on the tin!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@sarahjones7383]

Hi Darren, really enjoy your vlog as I always do. No need to apologise about the breakfast it was you I felt sorry for especially when you have done your research and taken time out of your day only to find the original place closed and the second place with dodgy sausages. Looking forward to your next vlog and enjoy your week. All the best Sarah.

[@margaretwhite8996]

Hi Darren, always luv your vkogs unconditionally. Those town houses... I'd love one ! The breakfast, you said it all. How kind of you to stop and help that guy Darren, speaks volumes of the type of guy u r, just cool. I could be wrong but U didn't seem quite yourself today but hey no two days r the same that's just life. Take care til the next one.👍🙏.

[@barbarafollows]

I agree with you Margaret, Darren didn’t seem himself today. Looked tired to me and a bit down. Darren, we appreciate what you do for us and understand that you’re probably fed up that the last two places didn’t work out as you were hoping for. Not your fault at all my love. Better luck next time! Take care of yourself, we need to see your lovely sparkle again 😊. Best wishes to you Margaret (and D J), take care xx

[@margaretwhite8996]

Awww thank you Barbara for that lovely reply! glad I have found someone on my wavelength. Yes, Darren didn't seem himself and did look pale. I hope he is OK. I agree it is nice to see the sparkle! Thank you again, please keep in touch I have made a friend I feel, how nice. Take care. 🤝🙏.

[@angelagraham9533]

Thank you Darren for helping that man.😇you are so kind and understanding.😍🥰😘

[@DarrenJohn]

It's nice to be nice

[@johnlewis19a]

Love seeing the videos in Islington, Hackney and Stoke Newington. I've told you before mate that my grandparents moved from Wales to London after the war. My dad was born in Hackney then they moved back to Wales when he was 2. Always tell a cheap sausage when it has cigar ends 🤣🤣👊👊

[@reedsfromleeds6347]

Well done for helping Carlos , with crime being so high these days most people are not trusting of others it’s a shame it’s like that, maybe cafes 12:23 should put on the menu board, Build your own Breakfast, everyone usually just picks something on the menu , there’s plenty more excellent cafes out there to discover Darren

[@DarrenJohn]

Nice one Dave

[@debbiejones8444]

That’s y I love people like u Darren willing to help when u can xx

[@nigelalexander3746]

Watching you have your breakfast, I noticed you have your fork in your right hand, just like me, but my old girl reckons I'm 'Kack Handed' the way I use my cutlery 😂

[@karenjones341]

I also noticed that, I'm glad someone else did..looks very strange indeed🤣🤣

[@DarrenJohn]

I have fork in my right hand because I'm right handed 👍🏼👌🏼

[@barbarafollows]

Me too, unless I’m using a knife and fork. Then I use my left hand for the fork, I don’t think I would be able to cut the food up properly with the knife in my left hand. Each to there own I guess 😊.

[@barbarafollows]

Sorry, that should be their own.

[@bathman6366]

Definitely standard cafe sausages, about 6p each wholesale. Mostly rusk. Also thought the beans looked watery, were they "happy shopper"?

[@jonathankent8411]

Love the content Darren. We'll never see eye to eye on pouring beans over eggs 😁 but I do my own quirky things on a fry up to be fair. 👍

[@IslandGirlKelly]

🤣🤣 I am the same when Darren pours those beans over his eggs, Jonathan. I just can't comprehend it.

[@DarrenJohn]

We like what we like

[@IslandGirlKelly]

@@DarrenJohn Indeed we all do. It is no different to me drowning mine in Tabasco sauce. 🤣

[@jeremycrowfoot]

That was kind of you to help out with chap who had broken down i wish there were more people like you around well done mate. The breakfast was ok shame the sausages let it down you can't beat the real things.

[@Jay-Leigh]

It’s a shame that happened Darren, but I love the way you are always so positive… cup half full and all that. I always enjoy your content and presentation. 😊 Have a super lovely evening keep smiling. 😊

[@DarrenJohn]

It was good, apart from the bangers

[@djrampage1]

absolute gent darren top man award goes to you fella 100% WELL DONE on helping that bloke out :)

[@paulkirton8945]

There is a phone scam where you are conned into calling a premium rate number.Maybe that's why people wouldn't help him out.

[@colindarroch4022]

Great you think about other people as so many don't care. Breakfast looked average but still enjoyed the walkabout another great vlog thanks. Colin

[@normanpain573]

Darren you are a legend for helping your fellow biker. It is sad that so many people just passed him by without a second thought! What a great world it would be if everyone helped their fellow man like you did!!!!!! I am one of the members of that minority group and help whenever I can. Have a great weekend. I think we should meet up if I ever get back to the UK. It is certainly on my list for this year!!!

[@DarrenJohn]

Nice one Norman

[@kevowski]

Top marks for helping that chap, luckily your instincts were spot on. Unfortunately my trust in people asking for help has been eroded by scammers or someone wanting to steal your phone.. Shame about the breakfast, but a thankful heads up to others 😉 Thanks for sharing DJ👌🏻

[@DarrenJohn]

He seemed very genuine

[@michaelkelly2708]

Hi Darren Tartarian mudflood buildings behind you🤔 the lowest level was the original ground floor level, you don't build a house with windows below the pavement or doors and steps up or Bridge's across to the entrance 🤔👍😉

[@paddy294]

Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you very much!

[@martinfoskett7697]

Great video Darren 👍🏻 Good cafe in Notting Hill embassy cafe Very good 👍🏻 food 😋 off the charts 🤷🏼 You decide 😉

[@petermoore2700]

Hi darren john its always nice to help people out if we all gave a bit of support to one another the world would be a better place. Shame about the snags but the rest of the brekky looked good 👍👍😁😁

[@pennyharrison536]

So nice of you to help that guy out, the brekkie didnt look all that great tbh it's a shame when you look forward to something and turns out not good,nice to see the area aswell another great vlogs Darren x

[@markwoods7570]

Just watching now and will give you an honest review in a mo. Awesome to watch these on my commute out of London 👍

[@DarrenJohn]

Enjoy!

[@markwoods7570]

Another great review as ever mate. Awesome 👏🏻

[@a.f.m6737]

That did look a proper breakfast shame about bangers. Nice too see you in Islington our old manor

[@jasonpetch9403]

Dissapointing about the sausages DJ..otherwise looked all good. Loving these trips around London in the winter time....soo good thanks.

[@JimmyBoogaloo]

I went to cafe fabrizi today, it was open! had coffee and the second I tasted it, knew the food would be good :o) (sausages were very decent, definitely not catering style) you would like it Darren!

[@pires908]

Looks nice, eggs look nicely done. Shame about the sausages. I have the opposite problem, two cafes near me have nice sausages but even though I ask for the eggs to be runny, a lot of time they over cook them. Last week I lost my patience and complained about one of the eggs which was like a boiled egg. Hopefully after having to replace it, they might get the message.

[@annemarieelton2069]

Always love your food reviews Darren You are always so honest & shame about the sausages Seeing London though your eyes always a pleasure to watch xx👍👍

[@DarrenJohn]

Thank you, always honest 🙏🏼

[@lesdavis3596]

Adapt and overcome, Darren. You didn’t tuck tail and run, you endeavored. Too bad about the sausages, but the rest looked great. You also helped somebody out and gave great advice. Be nice!

[@kevinhoughton9134]

Man after my own heart, I'll help anyone if I possibly can, even paying for the shortage of a bill in the shops or supermarkets which I have done on more than one occasion. That's the second time unlucky now DJ with the eatery info, to be fair the waiter in the cafe wouldn't have known what you meant by "PROPER SAUSAGES", they've only probably had the pleasure of the catering version. Third time lucky fingers crossed. 🤞

[@dougedwardsyachts]

Yes Barber Streisand makes me laugh. I had a great one in my area, sadly no longer in existence. British Hairways! He had the logo as well!

[@DarrenJohn]

😂😂

[@racingspoon]

I dunno, I love a decent quality snag but with a fried breakfast I feel a snout and sweepings mystery bag often does the job lovely. Those eggs looked on point.

[@chrisgrange4460]

Great vlog did you ever find out why it was shut

[@flyinghedgehog3833]

Remember we used to buy sausages all linked together.. Had to cut them apart and also prick before grilling/frying? Proper?

[@michaelwhite8031]

You are a very nice guy. I'm very impressed.

[@sensibleorange4886]

You've almost got the correct saying, it's "just be nice to me".

[@markriley5863]

Wow Darren, Lee would have freaked out with your bean distribution 😲 Where was the breakwater? 😄

[@DarrenJohn]

Thats funny

[@martynwestone1]

Always a good watch cheers

[@drumstix33]

Another brekkie! It never gets old. Love seeing it.

[@andyturner7963]

Did a lot of volunteering in KC with the street walker

[@brewsterkits]

That looked really nice, I loved the barbers name😂😂I could eat your sausages!! No breakfast for Lee he just paid 700 quid for a service😳😳

[@kizzyfarrell6156]

Nice review Darren Breakfast looked OK apart from sausages Enjoyed watching 👀love the music 🎶 Best wishes Darren

[@DarrenJohn]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@colinrattray816]

Love a chartty taxi driver, I’ve just booked the premier inn at Farringdon for my wee cousins wedding in October!

[@martineleven8179]

You need a nice break/holiday dj. Try the baleric Islands for a change, palma nova is nice. Affordable.

[@DarrenJohn]

Sounds wonderful Tenerife this month

[@jjgoldstein7310]

Hey DJ, you’re looking well, always look forward to your vlogs.

[@DarrenJohn]

Glad you like them!

[@qualitygoldfish2198]

You have to go to the breakout cafe 2 minutes away to get that breakfast you want,the rest of the cafes in the area are 2 bob,i was born there in the early 60s

[@DarrenJohn]

It's been on my list for a while now - coming soon

[@susannah1184]

Another great vlog, thank you. Love watching the brekkie ones xx

[@DarrenJohn]

Glad you like them!

[@karensterling5597]

Hi Darren jthat bubble looked really nice I would enjoyed it as I eat cheap aldi sausages lol. Great filming your a star n kind to help the stranger. Look forward all your vlogs.

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks 👍

[@paul-ks3jt]

Love the cabbie chat 👍👍👍

[@joylaw3162]

Hi Darren, I would Join you anytime. Because I love your content. Not your fault that the café was closed. That's not always a bad thing. Because that's showing us which places to avoid. Nice one, Darren

[@StevoRado]

No need to apologize. You could tell those sausages were blah just by the look. There is always next time. Keep up the good work

[@MickCampin-jp9kb]

I buy the blue too but also the green and brown and if I get the chance the stations

[@thornbird6768]

Perfect make your own breakfast 👍🏻 exactly what I would have ordered but in smaller amounts 😊

[@stephenmiller195]

17.45 just came across your channel, really enjoying your content, sun from me.

[@DarrenJohn]

Appreciate it Stephen, thank you

[@neilloveitt6233]

Fair play on leaving the sausages , most would have eaten them I reckon , well done on helping that bloke out also darren

[@junemccann5981]

Hi Darren. Lovely old houses. Totally agree with you re creating your own breakfast. Makes so much sense. Looked lovely. Nothing more disappointing than these places not being honest with information. Not very good for their business. Oh I'm always going for Mayfair and Park lane lol! Some people always want to think there's drama between people when you don't see them for a while. You and Lee both have busy lives and I'm sure when the time is right you will have a jolly good catch up. Another OTC vlog which I love seeing. Nice, friendly cab driver. Have a lovely day Darren. See you on the next one. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx

[@DarrenJohn]

Love Mayfair and New Bond Street, it has a certain magic about it

[@barbarakirsopp]

When are you going to go to Castles pie and mash shop in Royal College Street, Camden. It's been there since 1939.

[@karlturton5119]

Build your breakfast Looked fabulous another great video 😂😂😂

[@janw1746]

Those sausage are the sort to set fire to a BBQ..given half a chance..'miss piggy burger'..yes remember that.. hilarious..🤣

[@DarrenJohn]

😂

[@colinrattray816]

Everything else looked good on yarn plate, I had great hopes for the sausages when I saw they were irregular size, but shame they weren’t as advertised!

[@davidread5899]

Daz love these vids and remember that's how we roll. You roll the best Daz I love your vids . Have a great day ✌️😎👍

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks 👍

[@paullock3484]

As soon as I saw the sausage I knew....and no breakwater lol ...love the content soon be able to get daisy out

[@madmags6018]

So it started off not the way you planned it, but you brought it back with a great vlog. Good deed done with the broken down motor bike, so good on you for that 👏👍.. I think one of your next food reviews should be Fish and chips, with proper Fish and proper Sausage 😜... Love your video's keep um coming, Have a great Off The Charts rest of week. 👍

[@DarrenJohn]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@angelabennett3104]

Fried bread looked okay but not the sausage. So much of London we have yet to see Dj x.

[@martinsummers7347]

63 bus from outside Kings Cross to Farringdon (takes just over 5mins)! 🚌 Greetings from North London. What is addresses of both places as aim to visit - sausages excluded. Thanks.😃

[@DarrenJohn]

Chapel Market, Angel I didn't include address as it wasn't OTC

[@nevillechant27]

Absolutely love your videos mate could watch and listen to you all day long. You should do I uk tour and come to Somerset my county I would show you some great breakfast places

[@DarrenJohn]

👍🏼🙏🏼

[@ivorjacobs7699]

I recommended Casa Fabrizi to you so am sorry they weren't open. It's worth going back though as the food is great there, with proper sausages

[@keithrowe4317]

Hey Darren, I always appreciate good videos & hopefully it makes my trip to to the UK in the Fall all that easier- u liked your breakfast it seemed but what happened to the sausages, not up to snuff?? Just starting to thaw out after 2,days of weather conditions where with the wind it was -40s c- Talk about hell on Earth….Cheers, 😎👍🇨🇦

[@michael42158]

The blue section is Parkland and Mayfair, the most expensive.

[@DarrenJohn]

Park Lane you mean? yes you are correct - they are blue also

[@northbankgooner6126]

You are getting closer to Arsenal territory Darren, there's some lovely greasy spoons on the Holloway Road near the Emirates Stadium.

[@DarrenJohn]

Yes, I have a few on my list

[@jans1972]

You don't need to apologise Darren, it happens, you did the research, it wasn't open, it's not your fault, be kind to yourself. You found another place, I liked the look of the breakfast, except the sausage, and we had a walk about. Good on you for helping the guy out. Keep up the good work, everything is good. See you on the next one. Take care

[@DarrenJohn]

🙏🏼👊🏼👍🏼

[@markharte4128]

Never a truer word spoken! Just be nice.. I like that! I say that all the time 👏👍❤️ I see you on macmaster but he’s abit too full on for me😂 your vid that I see today is more what I’m into! I’m subscribing 100%

[@DaveJMcGarry]

Hey DJ. While i agree with everyone else saying "Listen to what people have to say" we should also be mindful to those that want to scam/steal from us. A similar thing happened to me but when i took my phone out they tried to grab it after i had unlocked it. I know not everyone is a thief but trust your instincts. I still have my phone BTW 👍 Also i like the way you taste everything before adding sauce. Nice

[@DarrenJohn]

👍🏼🙏🏼👊🏼

[@chouselle1]

Pity about the sausages and you ordered 3😮.Well done for helping Carlos 👏🏿

[@Marklovescarpfishing]

Looks like those sausages were deep fried to which I’m not keen on myself. Would of still nailed it all tho as I was brought up to clear my plate lol.

[@matthewharris3993]

nice one mate for helping the guy.

[@steveholland1252]

You Poor Guy Darren , those Sausages should carry a health warning ! Utter bilge 😡🫣Oh well onto the next one love seeing around the Streets of London with you 👍

[@AndyLonghorn]

No need to apologise fella, always a pleasure , never a chore. Keep up the good work 😊

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks 👍

[@James-hd6ez]

DJ your a top bloke and what you said is right about helping others, but I will tell you now them sausages you left will be going straight onto the next breakfast 😉

[@DarrenJohn]

🙂😱

[@leemc5646]

He should of chopped them up so they would have to throw them away.

Why are People ignoring other People when there in trouble you made a great point.
