Rock Steady Eddie's London in Southwark

Fantastic cafe Great service Absolutely brilliant staff Food is good Called yesterday morning for poached egg on toast and a cuppa 3 pound 10 pence I thought that it was that great of value for money I went out of my way the same day to call again for fish and chips With peas gravy and a tea 7 pound 10 pence Can't recommend this place enough

A gem of the community. Lovely guys and great food at good prices.

Retro caf/greasy spoon serving up really affordable meals. Might be the most affordable meal in London.

The best traditional old cafe in London by far. Simple, great value and lovely people Get a real taste of London

So good! Classic english breakfast, mix and match options. Tuna baguette very good. Very reasonable prices. 10/10 recommend, perfect neighborhood cafe.

Do you fancy a bag of tea? Toast when you ordered fried bread? Hash browns that look like they’ve gone 10 rounds with Tyson fury? Chips that are colder than they were in the freezer? Bone in the sausage? Then this is the place for you. Rubbish. The “chefs” involved should be ashamed of themselves and need to take more pride in their work. Bunch of overpaid wastes of space.

Relaxed, friendly, and affordable. Plus the chips are homemade

My husband and I had our breakfast here, whilst on a break away. The food was fantastic, staff were lovely and a great price too!!! Thank you very much 😊😊😊 xx

Quite simply the greatest “greasy spoon” breakfast cafe in the history of Camberwell.

Great food and a fair price. Best in Camberwell..

Basic, but good quality & great value food. We had a couple of No Meat Breakfasts & they were spot on. The guy taking our order had to query our order with who I can only assume was Eddie & he is an amazing bloke - courteous & funny. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing service from Susan, will definitely be back :)

A must for anyone looking for affordable hearty fair as well. The service was very warm and welcoming.

Shocking customer service. Order placed on JustEat, items missing and left us waiting over an hour to say they could no longer fulfil the order. Avoid this place.

Great caf that has a real community feel filled with lots of characters. Fairly priced salt of the earth food to help with any ol’ hangover.

Lovely place to go, esp if u fancy some wagon wheels, and a cheeky chin wag with some friendly characters. Old school and family owned don’t get many like them any more 10/10 over all

Proper cafe, cheap as chips, great friendly staff. Great locals too

If you're looking for a good hearty meal greasy spoon breakfast in south London, come to this cafe. Value for money, great customer service, friendly staff, perfect atmosphere and delicious food. Definitely will be coming back here. This is now our greasy spoon.

Terrific breakfast and pudding , great value very clean

Wanted something to fill me up and not too expensive. This café decor is unique in a way that they put up a lot of Elvis and other American related items. Food comes quick and they have a lot of locals that come here. I got the All Day Breakfast and it was good and worth the money. The main chef (and probably the owner) was friendly and this place felt very British.

A fine institution of classic British breakfast.

On the greasier end of the greasy spoon spectrum, but hits the spot. Lovely staff as well

Absolutely beautiful food, amazing customer service very polite staff 10/10 would recommend 💯

Been using place on and off over the years as my daughter also more recent years and guy runs it always pleasant and the place has character of pictures etc on walls.

Just the most splendid most delicious splendid delicious splendid place my eyes and tongue ever did taste

Had cheese burger n chips can of Fanta £4.oo. very tasty. Didn't have to wait long. Ol skool type cafe with Elvis theme. Would recommend and visit again.

Enjoy going back into time and enjoy great food.

If they invented a gun that shot baked beans…. by golly i’d be the first customer….. 🤓

excellent service yesterday from my lovely server! top lad kemal! would spend all my money here! 😉

Time travel to the time of no recording... back when the were no cellphones. Breakfast served all day. Good prices. Enjoy

It's one of the oldest family run cafes on coldharbour lane. Been in the family for the last 30 odd years. The variety of food is amazing and the service plus the homely atmosphere is great. Highly recommended.

Good value, old fashioned caff. Lots of local characters.

Lovely food great atmosphere and very cheap prices! Had kings hospital appointment and found it 2 mins down the road, definitely gonna come back!!!

Old school greasy spoon made the London way. Great value, excellent service with an always vibrant and eclectic mix of customers. Sal, the owner, is a diamond to the local community. This is a must-see.

Absolutely brilliant. Food was a little slow to come out to my table, but when it did it was well worth the wait. Food was fresh and hot. Very cheap and also filling. Will be back again

5/5 experience from me. We found it difficult to fault the atmosphere or value for money. You can see we all enjoyed it - especially Mike, who had his first fry up on this day.

Good down to earth local cafe, not flashy but does the job. Some colourful customers

Incredible meal. A crazy man came in and told the owner he was going to kill him. The owner replied "what was that? one bacon sandwich or two?"

How I wish this fabulous place was just round the corner from home. The atmosphere, the food...Ask for your bacon crispy and you GOT your bacon crispy, ask for your eggs with cooked whites and runny yolk and that is what you got and it was all delicious! Now I am housebound and can't get there, I can only dream of it. Don't miss your chance to get there if you can.

An authentic and honest place to eat a traditional breakfast. Very affordable and still good quality. I enjoyed it very much when exploring the city as a tourist.

3 and a half stars. This cafe certainly has its own character both in terms of decor and regular customers. Can't knock the quantity of food, it was a 2 plate job for my breakfast. Breakfast seemed cooked well albeit a tad too greasy. Came out full but a little queezy (hence not 4 stars), not sure if it a grease thing or quality issue. Didn't enjoy the chips, they were a mistake (Didn't stop me from eating them all though). Certainly worth a visit if you appreciate quantity and character in a themed cafe. Can see why it's a bit of a local institution.

I’ve been to many greasy spoons all over London and this is a true gem. It’s one of the last places where people with different backgrounds meet and eat. On more than one occasion I’ve seen the owner giving a free coffee or meal to people who clearly couldn’t afford a warm meal. The quality of the food is great. No disgusting tomato’s from a tin. Fresh wedges from the gril. Biggest recommendation is a breakfast special with black pudding. And everything is very very affordable. The trendy people can have a nice full English one street down coz avocado’s are not in Eddie’s repertoire. May this place survive forever.

Go regularly for a weekend fry up. Great service, outrageous value for money, tasty food. A gem in modern day London.

Love everything about this place - the vibes are strong, food even stronger. Proper establishment.

My favourite greasy spoon in London. Great food great atmosphere and I am thrilled that Eddie's is still going strong 20 years since I last visited. Next time I am in London I will make sure I revisit

It was absolutely fantastic and that Kemal kid on the counter was a excellent server he was so nice and kind to an old 69 year old person like me

The best greasy spoon in south east London. I’ll fight anyone that disagrees.

Lovely food and great guy who owns the cafey thanks for making great food

It could do with a refurbishment, but I can't fault the food, portion size, friendly service, great value for money! Double egg, chips, beans +2 teas. Under £5.💪🏼 Work man's cafe❤

Beautiful decor, friendly staff, perfect breakfast including cheeky fried bread hidden under the eggs, excellent value

Old and dirty place. Absolutely disgusting. Don't know how people can eat in this condition

Same old same old. Just like old times, with a twist. Dun dun dunnnn. Go inside to find out more in the next episode of, hell's kitchen.

Quality caff, 'greasy spoon' style without being greasy. Nice big fry up cooked well and sent out quickly - sorted my hangover right out 👍

Really loved my lunch here this week. Excellent friendly service and great value for money. Will return if I'm ever in the area again!!

Great food good value would recommend it staff are great will pop in when I am working in the area

Really recommend, truly good vibes everytime I visit!

beautiful place with elegant booths and just such a perfect caff i loved the spag bol so much such a good breakfast

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great, cheap breakfast. Perfect greasy spoon!

I hope this place lives forever. A true gem.

Great quality food at a very affordable price. Had a roast lamb lunch for the price of a sandwich, feels like eating at home...

Cup of tea and a slice of toast for £1.20... You can't beat it. This place feels like a time capsule, in an amazing way. I love everything about this cafe and it's my favourite local spot to just have a cuppa and relax. Sal and his family are lovely and kind, and they run it so well. The decor is AMAZING and I really hope they never redecorate or rip it out — the interior is what makes it so unique and cosy. Sal's collections of eccentric clocks is fantastic, and I love that he plays the radio (and cassette tapes of old radio stations) — middle finger to Spotify! Long live Rock Steady Eddie's.

One of the best cafes in London. Food and service is reliable, good quality, and cheaper than average for a greasy spoon. But the best thing about Eddie's is the memorable and authentic vibe and decor of the place, and the role it serves in the local community. There's a welcoming and easygoing vibe that you don't get in many places these days, especially the more upmarket venues that have slowly been gentrifying this part of South London. Long may it live.

Classic greasy spoon, love the aesthetic here !!

Proper old-fashioned greasy spoon. Good service and affordable food. This isn't anything fancy and it isn't trying to be. Good place to grab a breakfast sandwich and a cuppa.

Amazing vegetarian burgers, nice price, great service.

Love this place. Foods grey main mN is brilliant friendly. We go back every year

Went to cafe.wow what more can I say.nostalgic or what.such friendly people.polite.great food and such good value.great elvis posters.regards eddie cb.

Whole place was very dirty, staff looked grubby also But did have a good plate of chips. Will not be going back.

Great little cafe in Camberwell. Visited with a friend to find a good space, great chef and plenty to look at on the wall s. Bought two very different breakfasts at reasonable cost and found it to be a good greasy spoon in a handy location.

Old school cafe staff helpful but the place dressed like a 1950 USA Dive in needs cleaning. Customers will talk to you or let you alone.

Lovely friendly clientele, very reasonably priced.

Food is fresh cooked and great . And price is good

Nice place. Lovely deco. Ok food.

Food is good the decor is poor and old

Przyjacielska atmosfera, klienci się znają i prowadzą zabawne rozmowy między różnymi stolikami, ale nie czuliśmy się niezręcznie, ponieważ zostaliśmy również włączeni do wspólnej rozmowy. Śniadanie bardzo smaczne, szybko przygotowane i podane do stolika. Dobre ceny. Polecam.

Friendly customer service and quick. Excellent prices.

Loved the eccentric atmosphere, i could have people watched all day in this value for money "caf"

This cafe has a very awesome menu very good selection of food and breakfasts and the prices are really good and the food is excellent. Hats off to the chef an staff 👌👍🏼👍🏼

Outstanding breakfast. Ed is a total gem. A real neighborhood spot. Anyone who doesn't like this place should, frankly, move.

This is the cafe l visit, after a visit to kings college hospital. A real basic cafe, l love to be corned beef with egg and chips. Not the best but ok if you want to refill

Me gusta rustico economic a gradable

The place is ok presentation of food good and the food is cheap and the quality as per the price.what you pay is what you get..... cannot complain.

Classic greasy spoon cafe. No nonsense. Cheap enough that you walk out wondering how food can be produced that cheaply. Decor is classic if a little shabby. Service with smile and very clean despite shabby decor. A London classic I find it impossible to walk past without buying some sort of heavily salted pork based snack. Yum yum

Love this place, very friendly and decent coffee.

Traditional cafe not many left now

Proper greasy spoon at very affordable prices and quick service

Great food and very reasonable price

Full English with tea and toast for £5.40. What's not to like? And I can confirm the reports of the lesser-spotted fried slice to be true. It was right there, in the thick of it, hiding under the egg all along. A rare treat around here these days. Cheers Eddie.

Beautiful venue, great 80s decorations all around. If you're into 80s movie and music posters, this is the place. Lovely, wonderful family that owns the cafe. Delicious food. Great value for money. Great place. Highly recommend.

Looks ok from the out side but dull and dirty inside. Food was awful had a Spanish omelette made with egg ( obviously) and lumps of potato no other ingredients in at all

Love coming here. Everyone is accepted.

Good Value for money reasonably priced Breakfast and Coffee

Traditional London Cafe. Great prices especially for London. Service is good

A good place to go and eat and meet up with friends

Good value for money and friendly staff

this is the real Camberwell green..get it while you can before it's gentrified into history

Great cafe, very good value, loved my poached eggs. Assiduous tea making. Would recommend

Great place to go with friends and family.

This is a weird little bit of London and probably the last bastion of traditional greasy spoons in South. Great people watching but don't expect a high end meal.

I've been going to buy food from this cafe since back in the 1986 they own a kebab shop just down the road now they have got the best cafe in Camberwell 5 star food
