  • Rise and shine! Today, I'm at Billingsgate Market which is London's and the UK's most famous fish market but it also holds a little secret hidden gem known as the Billingsgate Cafe which is where I'm heading for a spot of breakfast at 3am in the morning! I'll need some coffee for this one.

    donkeys years ago, when I worked nights in the NHS (absolutely hated nights, never accustomed to them and changed jobs for less money to escape them) there was a caff nearby that opened at 5.30 and did the best bacon and egg butties and tea so strong the spoon dissolved when you stirred it - kept us going for that last couple of hours of the shift. Hats off to shift workers everywhere.

In that time I've gone through your back catalogue, liking as I went, and I think that I've watched them all now (RUclips seems to think that I only want to watch food shows now!). I just want to say that its been a joy to watch them all as I really enjoy your presenting style and given the rapid rise in subs, I'm not alone - you'll soon be receiving your 100k button which will be well deserved.

    Great Video my friend, Billingsgate was a breakfast stop for me and my colleagues when we were working for London Underground on night shift... But the "3 am one stop" for railway workers, "women of the night" and coppers, is the Bagel Shop in Brick Lane. When I was visiting there, there were two next to each other... one jam packed with people (mostly wearing full orange workwear) and the other hardly anyone! Salt Beef and Mustard and a cup of tea that the spoon will stand up in. If you want another early morning, go look!!

    Watching this reminded me of The Odd Spot Cafe which was at the top of East Street, Bromley, Kent (my town of birth). It is/was opposite Bromley North railway station and had a large bus terminus, and the crews loved the cafe. It had two huge griddles serving bacon, eggs, sausage, squeak, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans, fried bread, and mugs (not cups) of tea. It also did a mixed grill with kidney and pork/lamb chop on request.The bread was freshly baked by a local family bakery called Maunders opposite where I lived in the Market Square (sadly now gone). I had a Saturday job in a local carpet shop, and one of my jobs was to get the staff elevenses. This was mainly from the cafe because after 11am they would do a breakfast sandwich for 30 pence each (1975/6) and you could have as much in the sandwich as you wanted, as the staff needed to use up the unsold breakfast fare. Memories, sweet sweet memories.

    There used to be a cafe next to Smithfield market that serves through the night. Obviously with Smithfield being the main London meat market, their customers wouldn’t accept poor meat, and, sure enough, the place had a roasted ham, a roast beef joint, roasted chickens and a roast pork joint to choose your sandwich fillings from - carved off the freshly roasted joints to order.

I'd like to say I'll have that for breakfast tmoz before work, but I'm pretty sure it'll be my usual Marmite on toast with Crunchy Nut Cornflakes!

    I love seeing that you're up for anything. I'd love to see some kippers on the channel. I remember those fondly from when I visited the UK. Lovely, smoky kippers.
