Stopped by as a family on Friday night and we all loved it. Buzzy but not too busy, great burgers and we loved the Mac & Cheese. Good cocktails for the adults on a 2 for 1 deal. Great value for the meal we had. Would definitely recommend and would definitely revisit. A gem.

Having travelled all the way from Norwich to London for 'brunch', I had booked a table at the Polo Café. The photos of the cafe layout are misleading. Spread over three levels with a ground floor take out, the narrow building layout leaves cramped seating arrangements for customers eating in. There was a warm welcome from staff downstairs, who directed us up stairs and to a specific table. Once upstairs, I was greeted by another member of staff stood behind a kitchen counter, who directed another member of staff to seat us in a different table. Once seated, it is a game of Tetris or snake to get up to use the toilet or get ones food placed on the table. For London prices, I think it was good value, £20 for the mighty breakfast. One member of staff remained behind the counter, while another member of staff seemed to be rushed off their feet attempting to handle all tables. At other restaurants and venues in Norwich, I have had far larger breakfasts living up to the name of 'mighty'. After a 20 minutes wait for food, my food was warm at best, and my friend who ordered eggs Benedict found hair and egg shells in his order. A good venue for someone reaching London Liverpool Street station wanting Breakfast. However, I feel if I did return, it would be for take away, not seating unless it was at a quieter time.
