    I always pop in for a full breakfast before Arsenal games (Number 2). The food is decent and filling and the perfect way to set yourself up for the inevitable disappointment of the match. The staff are the best thing about this place though - always friendly, chatty and able to recall your usual meal.

    Once, when I told them it was my Granddad's birthday, they served him a pint with his breakfast - it made his day!

    Not a bad little greasy spoon type place, I generally come here post workout for a greasy protein hit! You can get a decent meal here for less than £4 and with multiple options you'll be spoilt for choice. The quality is a little above what you'd expect for the price but certainly not gourmet.

    The first time I came here they made buy more as there is minium charge on match days which I found just annoying. Generally a a good clean friendly place with good value food.

    I'll admit it - I can be a bit of hipster snob. It's true and I can't deny it.

    That being said, I'll glide straight past the majority of "builders cafes" or old-school caffs in my hood - I'm wary of the kind of grub they offer up.

    I'd been snobby and never considered eating at the Hope Workers' until one very, very, very hungover Saturday a few weeks ago.  My boyfriend convinced me try this place out for a £3.50 full-english on our way home from buying berocca (yes, really), and I have to say.... I was impressed.

    It's definitely at the nicer end of a "greasy spoon", it's almost always busy with friendly locals. The decor is a bit cute and quirky on the inside, with old-school photos of London and little pieces of history.

    I shouldn't have been so judgmental. I got a fry-up for only £3.50, and honestly, it wasn't bad. I've had worse fry-ups for double or triple the price.

    I mean, It wasn't mind-blowing, but it was a huge portion of a good ol' full English for my hungover stomach at a very cheap price.

    This is at the top end of greasy spoon and just across the road from my workplace, lucky me!

    The previous two reviews should have been 4 or 5 stars, come on guys...

    This cafe is a family run business which produces lovely food, the lasagna with chips is fantastic, and i can vouch for the chicken curry with rice..hmmmm the veggie pie with chips is also delicious. The standard brekkie, is of good value as well. The service and portion size is very good. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
