Frank's Cafe - Southwark

Based on previous reviews, we decided to go to this restaurant for lunch. We found that the sandwiches were made with cheap bread and toppings like ham and grilled chicken, which seemed to be of low quality. This was definitely the most disappointing meal we had during our visit to London.

I worked at Sampson House on Hopton St in the early 80s and would come in daily for a late breakfast. It's been 35 years since I last visited, so I'm glad to hear that it's receiving positive reviews now.

Food and Drink (4/5): The cafe offers great cafe fare. I was able to build my own breakfast with eggs, bacon, and beans, and the staff, particularly a guy named Frank, was very attentive to all the extras I wanted. The toast was outstanding and the food was cooked perfectly. My friend, Kim, ordered a bacon sandwich with cheese and it was cooked to perfection. Ambience (4/5): We visited on a Tuesday morning at 10:00 and the place was bustling with workmen and locals catching up and starting their day. The staff was welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere was lively and genuine. Accessibility (3/5): The cafe is mostly flat, but the rear seats and toilets may be a bit cramped for wheelchair users. However, I believe the staff would be willing to assist if needed. Cost (4/5): The prices for food and drinks were reasonable and in line with what I would expect at a cafe for breakfast. There was no additional mark up for being in London, which was a pleasant surprise. Service (5/5): The staff provided excellent service and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. They were all very friendly and I got the sense that they were a family-run business. Summary (4/5): I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Frank's Cafe in Southwark. It was recommended by Google and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be returning to this great London cafe located at 132 Southwark St, London SE1 0SW. I highly recommend visiting Frank's if you find yourself in the area.

Dined here 4 times a week for 6 weeks over the Summer of 2018. Service was good, food was excellent and never had any issues with it. Good quality and portions for the price. Loved their English Breakfast. Will visit anytime I am back.

In the continued quest for the best english breakfast me and my friend made our way to Southwark to give Franks a go. It was worth it. Proper mug of tea, and followed up with a well made English breakfast. Added bonus if you need them, they serve chips. No poached eggs is my only gripe :
