• Cat and Cucumber on Tower Bridge Road used to be a weekly Friday treat. Definitely met the tea criteria above. Haven't been in ages sadly :(

    Portions always big and service brisk outside of the 30 min period around 9:30...

    Edit: I see it's on the list!

  • Favourite memory of The Cat and Cucumber:

    Crew were late into the cafe and took their time. One of the foremen drove past and saw the truck still parked outside the cafe at gone 08:30 am. Stormed into the cafe and berated the crew for their slothfulness / tardiness / laziness etc. Foreman stormed out again.

    One of the elderly ladies who worked in the cafe sidled up the table with some fresh teas and said "cor, he's an orrible c*nt, your boss, int ee?!"

    Thus human dignity, equanimity and goodwill towards all people (apart from the foreman) were quickly restored.
