Workman Cafe

About Workman Cafe

Workman Cafe near Guy's Hospital is a no-frills workers' canteen where the full English comes in under a tenner and the liver and onions breakfast draws regulars back. Kids are welcome with highchairs available and space for buggies, while young eaters can order from the standard menu at smaller portions — the cheese omelette and chips is a solid choice for children who prefer something straightforward. "Great to find a cafe which serves a great cup of builders tea and bacon bap," says one visitor. The jacket potato with curry and the classic fry-ups remain popular, particularly with hospital staff and tradespeople grabbing breakfast before work. Reviewers note that staff clear plates promptly without making families feel rushed, and the bright, tidy space stays calm even during busy morning shifts. Best for unfussy weekend breakfasts when you want decent portions without the Bermondsey Street markup.
