East Sheen, British, Traditional Restaurant Guide

Proximity to Richmond Park – a large terrace for sunny days – and a comfortable, attractive interior help justify the ongoing inclusion of this eighteenth-century Fuller’s pub, near Sheen Gate. In other respects, its ratings remain resolutely ordinary.

“An original greasy spoon on steroids” – this yearling in East Sheen is “the perfect venue for breakfast when you have the builders in your kitchen”, or whenever you just fancy a “fab English breakfast” featuring “out-of-this-world bacon”. Founder James Packman was inspired to create his signature ‘bacon & egg butty’ while working for French chef Bruno Loubet, and spent 10 years selling them from an old ambulance at street markets before opening his first bricks-and-mortar caff in his home suburb.
