\"Polo<\/p>\n

It’s not often we get invited to a press event at a traditional British ‘greasy spoon’ cafe, but when the offer of a free breakfast at the Polo Bar cafe at Liverpool Street came our way, we were there in a flash.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Polo<\/p>\n

We’re glad we made the journey too, as it’s the kind of old school cafe that appeals to our tastes.<\/p>\n

The family-owned restaurant\u00a0 is situated at 176 Bishopsgate – smack bang outside Liverpool Street station – and it’s been serving up no-nonsense British ‘caff’ food for nearly 50 years .<\/p>\n

\"Polo<\/p>\n

We opted for the cooked veggie breakfast option (which starts at a very reasonable \u00a34.45) and it was a delight.<\/p>\n

Decent toasted bread, proper veggie sausages (none of this cheapo supermarket stodge) and tasty hash browns, swilled down with some good coffee, all for just \u00a34.55. A right propah<\/em> bargain!<\/p>\n

\"Polo<\/p>\n

Meaty things<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your breakfast preference is for things that once shuffled about this land, there’s several meaty feasts on offer, including the house speciality, the “‘Polo Bar special.”<\/p>\n

Billed as the “E Type of breakfasts,” this fills your plate with egg, bacon, sausage, baked beans and toast for just \u00a34.55.<\/p>\n

For the fry up cognoscenti, there’s the option to mix’n’match the ingredients to get the precise<\/em> cooked breakfast your raging hangover demands.Want an extra fried egg?\u00a0 That’ll be 75p, squire. Two extra rashers of bacon? \u00a31.35 to you, son…<\/p>\n

\"Polo<\/p>\n

Comfy seating at the back.<\/p>\n

The chef takes a break.<\/p>\n
