The guy who runs this place ('Enis') is extremely rude, demanding money up-front, challenging customers' orders, ordering you to share a table with someone else even when half the cafe is empty.

I got into a slanging match after he opened the door on a cold October day (well, if I'd wanted my coffee outside, I'd've ordred take away). Long story short, he tried to physically extracate me, and I was as close as I've been in the last decade to lamping someone.

Don't give them your money
The coffee is like sludge]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/117598#msg-117598 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 23:27:24 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/114802#msg-114802 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Zoe)
I would say it must surely be criminally related, but I've been watching the hotel inspector and people seem to go on for years not making a profit in odd hotels full of rubbish.

I feel torn between wanting to go and see for myself and also feeling slightly alarmed at how odd it is.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/114802#msg-114802 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:30:34 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/114799#msg-114799 forum@london-se1.co.uk (ninja999) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/114799#msg-114799 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 18:53:31 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/114735#msg-114735 forum@london-se1.co.uk (kingtubby89)
Myself and six friends ordered cooked breakfasts from Enis's wife. They were priced at £5.95, so we were expecting something pretty substantial. Instead, we were served an undercooked rasher of bacon, an overcooked sausage, a slice of grilled tomato, a fried egg and a tablespoon of baked beans.

When I complained about the portion size Enis and his wife immediately went on the defensive, saying I was merely showing off infront of my friends. They then served me toast - with each slice proudly displaying mould on its crust.

I told Enis that there was no way I'd be paying for this - his response was to lock the front door, square up to me and threaten to give me a black eye. Him and his wife then went on a verbal rampage, calling us every name under the sun.

When he got physical my girlfriend called 999 and two police cars promptly arrived, meaning we could leave the premises after 20 surreal and scary minutes.

The cafe is currently under investigation by Lambeth Council for potential hygiene breaches.

Hopefully it won't be around for much longer. Until then, I strongly urge you not to go there.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/114735#msg-114735 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 19:32:27 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/98593#msg-98593 forum@london-se1.co.uk (caarmencita) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/98593#msg-98593 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:21:35 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/97048#msg-97048 forum@london-se1.co.uk (James Hatts)

One of the two staff went to the shop to buy ingredients for my fry up.

They do have an evening-only, foil decorated serving hatch under the railway arch behind the pigeon s**t. All very odd.

Even more unlikely, but not at all eccentric, is the hairdressers approx 100m towards the old vic. In maybe two years I have only seen one person in it - and she was sat reading magazines with the door locked. Considering the rent/rates for retail space I marvel at their business model. I really do.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/85133#msg-85133 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 22:45:53 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/79379#msg-79379 forum@london-se1.co.uk (ninja999)

the Queens Head on Black Prince Road just off Albert Embankment nr. Lambeth Bridge

its a cafe by day - good chips and slices of bread are hand cut. (regular prices)
the tables and chairs and the plates and cutlery are all one-up on the average cafe

its also a pub - so you could order a full english and have a pint of beer with it - if you wanted

and theres a giant screen and some sofas

you get a busy mixture of builders and office workers at lunchtimes - i visit off peak and can have the place to myself

they filmed a commercial for LearnDirect there recently

oh and you can even get a take away cappuccino

(as you can probly tell - im a fan)]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/79326#msg-79326 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 20:26:33 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78988#msg-78988 forum@london-se1.co.uk (roy) I'm tempted to try it but the smell of chips from fishcoteque always draws me away.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78988#msg-78988 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:13:46 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78900#msg-78900 forum@london-se1.co.uk (sputnik) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78900#msg-78900 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:05:02 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78895#msg-78895 forum@london-se1.co.uk (JayBee) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78895#msg-78895 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:19:00 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78893#msg-78893 forum@london-se1.co.uk (longlaner) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78893#msg-78893 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 14:46:57 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78892#msg-78892 forum@london-se1.co.uk (JayBee) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78892#msg-78892 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 14:35:23 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78889#msg-78889 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Renie) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78889#msg-78889 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 13:55:32 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78887#msg-78887 forum@london-se1.co.uk (JaneS)

Also, does anyone know what it is they advertise on the window, Enis's SOS? Supposedly some miracle concoction! Waiting for a bus there I once looked in the window and in the chiller cabinet were several jars of different shapes and sizes, some empty and some containing what looked a bit like dried herbs with crazy prices on them, like £75! A very strange place. Also seems to have a serving window in the street down the side.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78875#msg-78875 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 11:58:51 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/78857/78867#msg-78867 forum@london-se1.co.uk (James Hatts)
For a while the sign said Enis's-Jo's but the second bit has been removed.
