Peterborough Café: A Slice of Old London in Fulham

Tucked away on Peterborough Mews in the upscale Parsons Green area, Peterborough Café stands as one of the last authentic greasy spoons in Fulham. This unpretentious establishment has been serving hearty, affordable meals to locals and workers for over two decades under the careful stewardship of owner-chef Paul.

Authentic British Café Experience

In an area increasingly dominated by trendy eateries, Peterborough Café proudly maintains the traditional British café culture. The interior features London posters and a large screen TV often showing classic films or football matches, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that regulars appreciate.

Signature Dishes Worth Trying

The café is renowned for its generous portions and wallet-friendly prices. Their Full English Breakfast is a local favorite, offering excellent value for money with hearty portions that satisfy even the hungriest patrons. Other popular choices include their Bacon Rolls and Gammon Steak with Chips - simple, classic dishes prepared with consistency and care.

Perfect for Budget-Conscious Diners

With prices ranging from £1 to £10, Peterborough Café offers some of the most affordable dining options in the Fulham area. It's particularly popular with tradespeople and locals seeking a substantial meal without the premium prices typical of the neighborhood.
