Bit of a connoisseur myself on the old Eggs B, @Londondrz. They’re pretty damned good. Classic English Muffin, lovely thick slices of REAL ham, nicely poached eggs. The hollandaise is a little gluey, I doubt they make it from scratch every morning, but all in all very acceptable.
Seeing this thread makes me realise that I really should start going to local eateries etc. Something I have never done, as I was discussing with @anon5422159 last night
I shall watch for recommendations

I can’t really take part in this convo as they are all my fellow traders 
but I’d just like to mention I think most lunch option places have something that they specialise in which are all amazing! So I won’t post my own personal favourites because of this! But I’m a massive foodie & would love to!
These places are best well known on social media for:
Best bacon sarnie - @StDavid
Best cheese toastie - Aga’s Little Deli
Best crumpets & eggs benedict - @TheArchieParker
And there’s so many more 
this is just a short example from me.
BTW I actually agree with all posts on this so far.
One thing that I can’t resist mentioning is who can guess my fav local lunch from a local shop?
The clue is cow

If anyone can guess this it’s lollipop on me
I’ll post another clue after every 2 guesses 
I love fun stuff!
Today’s ‘special’ is a BLT (with added chicken) on soft and crusty, fresh sourdough bread at @TheArchieParker - yummy

Oh! Two more posts 
My next clue is homemade mustard mayo!!
BTW when this is guessed I’ll keep this going with my favs all over FH.
Think I’ll manage to cover all my fellow food traders in the end because I’m greedy
Ooh I too work from home , I am certainly going to have to start making the rounds and sampling the delicious looking food, the jacket pot looks amazing! Hopefully see you guys around

Continuing with this series, another personal favourite, this time at Canvas & Cream.
This is the Falafel Wrap, with beetroot hummus and Tabbouleh - tastily vegetarian!
This is a slightly different one since I’ve had it on numerous occasions and it is almost never the same twice.
I’ve always enjoyed the wrap immensely, though I have to admit finding the Tabbouleh a bit bland (and the raw onion a little overpowering - they offered to replace it to be fair but I coped). It would be better with some Haydari or Cacic.
Have to say that this place is mobbed for a Monday lunch. Good for them, but a few other local places might be missing out by being shut.

I have tired C&C a few times but found the service very very slow. Twenty minutes for two coffees with only four people in there. Happy to try again if it has changed.
Well, to be fair to them it was SUPER busy today (most tables inside and out were full for Monday lunch) … but I have to agree that in general there is a ‘casual’ note to the service rather than ‘swift efficiency’ but it works for me there
I used to patronise C&C a lot as it’s a lovely place to sit and work. But I’ve always been a little underwhelmed by the food.
On the recommendation at the top of this thread I had the baked potato with tuna and sweetcorn in the Teapot today. Huge, delicious and tremendously good value.

Bubble and squeak with bacon at canvas and cream. Avocado and chorizo on toast at my Jamii cafe. Vegetarian breakfast (served all day) just over the hill in se22 at Norris & knight (forest hill rd).

Seconded for Fig and Pistachio.
Just had the most delicious French onion soup with cheese and mustard toast at @TheArchieParker. So delicious I got over-excited and spilt some down my front.
Last week I got over-excited by my delicious panini at The Teapot and spilt coffee down my front. Same top, as it happens. Clean on both times. I should probably travel with a bib.
