The Breakfast Club - Hackney Wick

Nicknamed the ‘Hackney Riviera’, it’s a glittering area of sun and food during summer months and the perfect spot for one of The Breakfast Club’s busiest restaurants.

The heavy, autumnal patterned curtains give the feel of a cocoon and there are tongue-in-cheek signs and posters strung up around the tight-knit space, a nod to the old-school nostalgia they do so well.

For veggies, the ‘Butternut Bubble’ is a delight – butternut squash with potato & spinach bubble, mushrooms, asparagus and an avocado hollandaise. Carnivores can’t go wrong with The BC Breakfast Burrito, which is full to the brim with chorizo, egg, peppers and spicy pepper sauce (also available as a veggie version). For an innovative taste of India, try the ‘Argy-Bhaji’, a spiced onion waffle with chilli fried egg, mango chutney and minted yoghurt.

Suppliers like Joe’s Tea and Karma Cola work closely with The Breakfast Club, cementing their status as a champion of independent businesses and ethical practices Their products are all sustainable and come from across the country to celebrate the best of British.

Have a stroll through the expansive surrounding parks or down to the River Lee, before departing from Hackney Wick Rail Station, just a five minute walk away.
