Unpretentious upstairs hideaway and a great spot for breakfast, Georgina's is still going strong. They started serving meals on chopping boards long before the gastro-pubs got round to it, and the ceiling and walls plastered in vintage movie posters are always fun to stare at. Delicious bacon baguettes or scrambled egg and smoked salmon bagels accompanied by mismatched mugs of tea can be leisurely enjoyed with one of the day's papers - they always keep a few knocking around. Lovely.
Georgina's was once so good, and I'm not sure exactly what has happened! I used to love the place, with its old music posters, healthy menu, massive salads, and tasty coffee. The last couple of times I've been, though, it's not been great.
I had a wrap that was served with tinned chili (complete with its canning fluid and tinned potatoes). A friend asked for her scrambled eggs and bagel to be served separately - I'm not sure where the problem lay but the staff refused to do this (we only serve the eggs ON the bagel, they declared). On a more positive note, the salads that day (we split a mix of them) were fine, and the waitress did warn us in advance that one of them contained bits of cooked bacon.
Finally - the plastic cups that the tap water is served in need a good wash - they're distinctly salmon-flavoured!
