Proper fat-boy breakfast - Oxford Street / Regent Street

[eharding]

On the few days a month that I work out of our office in Hanover Building-Site Square, I generally depart Bracknell at zero-dark thirty powered by intravenous espresso, arrive an hour and a half later, and invariably have an hour or so at peak breakfast stomach-rumbling times on my hands before things get busy.

The usual Starbucks coffee and bun just isn't working. I need bacon, eggs, and associated lard...and none of that Mickey D's type malarky.

Obviously, there are numerous establishments in the vicinity of Hanover Square that can provide top-notch lunch-fodder at uber-top-notch prices - and that is a state of affairs I find deeply rewarding - but does anyone know of somewhere where I can get a decent fat-boy sit-down breakfast within reasonable outbound walking / inbound waddling distance?

Garfunkels breakfast is pretty good & good quality, bit expensive though. One close to Oxford Circus.

I commuted from Martins Heron to Hanover Sq for nearly 5 years and never found a greasy spoon cafe that you could sit in.

I liked going to Automat though, near bond st.

When I have my early in the office (only 2 days per week thank god) I try and get a Garfunkels breakfast on at least one of the days. Its never going to win a Michelin * - but so what its a fry up!

Thanks for all of the replies chaps. Much appreciated. Will be trying some of those out in the near future.

If that's the one at Oxford Circus, it's long gone.

Pontis Italian kitchen around the corner (Great Castle St) does a good brekkie though.

Eeek shows how long since I went there, our office is just around the corner. There are various smaller outfits around there.

Cavendish Sq?

Reminds me, No 5 is good, but pricy.

There's a take away place called "Make Mine" on regent St - their "The Gaffer" is a fry-up in a sandwich.
