The BIGGEST BREAKFAST I've Ever Reviewed!

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.

Well done for supporting local family run restaurants, so many people struggling at the moment

Maggie was amazing.Endless refills of tea and and toast, and loving hospitality. Her passing was was a real loss for people living in Lewisham. What a lady!

Brings back memories Maggie would always fill up your cuppa whether it needed it or not RIP Maggie big thanks to Gary for visiting South London

And I thought we Americans eat huge portions. For what you got on your platter, £11.95 is a BARGAIN.

Your comment about not disturbing other diners is a perfect example of why I enjoy your content so much.

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).

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. 🙏🏻

Dear Gary and Cameraman, today I was told I am going to be a Grandfather, I'm so happy, and love this vid. God speed into the future.😃

‘Like Noah’s Ark everything comes in twos’ you said with a deadpan delivery. Made me chuckle.

Hi Gary. That is some breakfast. It’s good to be supporting family restaurants. So glad you enjoyed it. Also a big thank you to the camera man appreciate it👍👍

The most food humanly possible, plus unlimited hot drinks, for under 12 quid. That's flipping insanely cheap. They are total heroes, who ran that place. Thanks so much for this Gary. Excellent.

It’s so pleasing how you are always considerate not to disturb other diners.😊

I actually remember Maggie opening the Cafe many years ago. It has always been the go to place and Maggie herself looked after you like family. Very sad to hear of her loss.

Amazing the value small businesses can provide when they (presumably) own thr building and dont have rental expense

My Grandmother was Irish and she always relayed that you couldn't buy a healthy appetite. Supplying a good palte of food was the essence of a good home. This is seen here as an expansion of the warmth of heart of this establishment. Not being able to finish your plate shows that the host has supplied more than you can manage. In some cultures, if you finish your plate they will immediately refill it.

WOW, for the money, that is flipping amazing.

Wow, that was definitely value for money. It just shows what small family run businesses like Maggie's can do. Well done them and well done you for bringing them to our attention.

What a terrific little place is Maggie's Cafe & Restaurant. Lovely staff and such fabulous value for money ! Fresh tomatoes for me by the way. The apple crumble is to die for ! A super start to your day Gary ! It's a 9.5/10 from me.

Another great review! I was stationed In Lewisham in the 70's, I wish it had been in the late 80's! 😀 My favourite 'bubble' was always on Boxing Day with all the Brussels Sprouts incorporated 🙂
