English people: "God, no one can do a proper fry-up. The sausages aren't right, there's always something missing. Life is hard".

Also English people: *orders eggs benedict and breakfast via Food Panda without blinking an eye. Uses the most basic cardboard bread for the traditional fry up*

If so, i would be 100% sure, the french place "la ferme du bassac" on 178 has some marvellous boudin noir. if your estomac doesnt turn upside-down thinking you eat english black pudding from a french restaurant, i would give it a try !! Me, being belgian, i would feel bad also to eat belgian fries from a dutch chips-shop !! ??

Eggs Benedict has no place on a fry-up, that's foreign food.

And nobody in the right mind orders a fry-up to be delivered. Except Andy, who should be hanging his head in shame for posting pictures of that monstrosity. [mention]AndyKK[/mention] what were you thinking??

As for the bread, it doesn't matter if it is cardboard or some poncy shit, when it is fried it compensates for any shortcomings. And fried bread is the only bread you should find on the plate.

The half breakfast looks ok, was that what you had?

That place is very close to me, I might check it out.

Rising Sun is always good value - has been for years.

The homemade pies are huge and super tasty, Sunday roasts also good value as well as the grilled pork chops. Def English oriented food.

Yes, I must admit all the food's you mention I have participated in over a number of years, but not on any regular basis. Also my Khmer partner enjoys the small number of Asian dishes they serve, that is if she is not eating their excellent sausage and mash.
Just to add something, the Covid19 situation has hit many businesses in a big way, more so the places around riverside who would serve the abundant tourist trade like the restaurant mentioned hear, one of many expat establishment's that I understand have not been granted any rent rebate throughout this time.
