Established in 1900, Pellicci's is an East End institution with its Formica tables, gorgeous original marquetry and old-fashioned cash register. But it's the warm, friendly atmosphere that owner Nev Pellicci and his family create that draws a busy crowd of market traders and locals.
On our visit, Nev was ribbing a couple of lads that they only came to the caff to meet girls; they could get chatting to them once he'd had broken the ice. Regulars on another table then suggested Nev start a speed-dating service. As well as a chat and a laugh, everyone is here for the traditional greasy-spoon grub cooked in the kitchen by Maria, Nev's mum.
Rumour has it that a 'healthy option' breakfast exists, but most opt for the big breakfasts listed on the menu or pick and mix from bubble, bacon, bangers, blood pudding, eggs, mush, toms and beans, accompanied by a mug of strong tea or coffee.
Lunch includes favourites such as chicken pie, spag bol and lasagne, all served with two veg or Maria's awesome chips. Follow that, if you can, with a bowl of bread and butter pudding with custard. A gem.
