Bangers London – Breakfast Restaurant

BANGERS

Shoreditch, London, UK

Say goodbye to your basic breakfast baps and English McMuffins (sorry, Ronald) and say hello to your new favourite breakfast spot, Bangers London Breakfast Restaurant, which is upping the breakfast game in London.

Bangers is the home of smashed sausage®, they are serving up some Bangers classics and some new additions they’ve been working tirelessly on. All are made with the absolute best produce.

The show’s stars are their breakfast sandwiches served in a brioche bun or English muffin. 

I started with The Big Smoke, made with signature free-range pork smashed sausage, fried Clarence Court egg, smoked cheddar, pickled chillies, and smoked chilli jam. I had it in a buttery brioche bun made by Spence Bakery 🥵

I also had their homage to the NYC B.E.C. (Bacon, Egg, and cheese), with free-range maple bacon, Clarence Court egg, cheese, and a choice of house-made sauce (I picked the apple ketchup) nestled in a toasted Spence English Muffin.

Moreover, all of their sauces are homemade in small batches from scratch. Think fresh ketchups, house brown sauce and chilli jams.

But Bangers isn’t just about sandwiches. The sides are next level. Think crispy hash browns with homemade sausages, homemade baked beans, and speciality pots like Banger & Beans or buttery scrambled Egg Pots. New additions include ultimate breakfast smoothies, seasonal yoghurt pots, and vegan-friendly overnight oats.

Committed to sustainability, Bangers works closely with select suppliers to ensure their supply chain’s highest quality produce and full traceability. Partnering with London’s leading free-range & organic butchers, Lidgates, using freshly baked bread from Spence Bakery and sourcing fresh eggs from Clarence Court, Bangers guarantees breakfast heaven in every bite.

Bangers store will also be a breakfast deli, offering homemade products and essentials to take home and enjoy, from the infamous Bangers beans to homemade sauces and award-winning free-range maple bacon.

Faber Seafood & Wine, Hammersmith

Faber Seafood & Wine Restaurant

I was ‘in’ when my friends suggested we try Faber Seafood & Wine Restaurant, which focuses on sustainable, responsible, day-caught British seafood. They failed to tell me that I’d have to trek to Hammersmith for this seafood, though. (Cue the hesitation.)  

When I searched the location and saw it was directly opposite Hammersmith’s uniconic bus station, I ALMOST pretended that I had double booked for the evening to get out of the trek.   I’m so glad I did not.

Once you step across the mosaic-tiled entrance of Faber Seafood & Wine Restaurant, you could be in a chic little restaurant somewhere on the Med.  Think herringbone parquet flooring,  sunbleached tones upholstery, arched mirrors, a terracotta tiled bar, vintage-style chandeliers and stone table tops. Design is a chef’s kiss!   

Executive Chef Ollie Bass (a fitting surname for a chef championing sustainable seafood) has worked in some of London’s favourite kitchens, including Quo Vadis & Sessions Arts Club.    The ever-evolving menu focuses on fish and seafood with tasty small plates, sharing plates and a daily specials board. 

  • Chalk Stream trout tartare

  • Potato Crab & Mushroom

  • St Austell Mussles Artichokes

We ordered almost the entire menu, and every dish was faultlessly executed and perfectly presented.  My stand-out dishes included the Chalk Stream trout tartare. It was lightly dressed in soy with nori and finished with keta caviar. It’s the kind of dish that I regret having to share.

Smoky cod cheek skewers served with warm, homemade herbaceous tartare that popped perfectly with astringency.

The crisp ingots of thousand-layer potatoes topped with white crab and wild mushrooms were a dream.  

I marvelled at the individually dressed St Austell Bay mussels, each with a dollop of artichoke puree inside and a golden Jerusalem artichoke crips on top.  

After tasting almost the entire small plate menu, it was hard to muster up enthusiasm for the sharing fish that arrived, but I could appreciate that they were perfectly cooked and dressed to let the fish have the main character energy. 

A word of advice… save a little space for desserts.  The honey custard tart reminded me of a quivering pastel de nata, sublime!

London’s Best Escargot Pastries

After crumpets, one baked delight that I could not live without are pastries.  Specifically those gorgeously beautiful rounds or laminated layers of escargots. 

You can get these delights in most bakeries in Paris, but now These have finally become a ‘thing’ in London.   The Godfather of the London escargot has to be none other than the Islington purveyor of all things layered and that’s… Pophams

Escargot, Pastries
