Picture this. It is 3 in the morning. You’ve danced and drunk all night. As a result, you are tired, your feet hurt, you are drunk, hungry and need something to absorb all that booze. Where to go? That’s the biggest struggle of all. McDo? Burger King? Or the likes? Yes, sure why not. So overdone, overrated and you’re not feeling like it tonight. You’d much rather have another sort of comfort food? And is there better comfort food than breakfast? Good fur us, Polo Bar came up with the perfect solution!
I can’t remember how many times I went home from a night out and was super hungry but could just go to some fast food places. Give me a stack of pancakes or a full English breakfast, even at 3am, and I’d have been the happiest girl on earth!
So what is Polo Bar?
Polo Bar, also known as The Great British Café, has been right outside Liverpool Street since 1953. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and deliver the best food to anyone who may enter. Party goes, bankers, bloggers, passers by, get in, you won’t regret it.
The menu range from lunch options such as sandwiches, mac & cheese, Shepherd Pie, Ribs, etc to breakfast classics – English or American breakfast, egg Benedict, pancakes – and light bites or burgers. They also offer vegetarian alternatives and would cater for any allergies.
Drink side, due to their 24 hour license, they can sell alcohol at all time of the day or night. They of course also offer hot drinks, juices, smoothies and milkshakes! If you don’t believe me, just check out their menu!
Ana and I went on a Sunday morning, after a photoshoot that did not go according to plan. Too much sun, what can we say. Thus, we were in dire need of some comfort! Beer for her, cappuccino for me (dry February is long over but you know… it was too early for me, wasn’t it?!). Then we ordered our food.
Polo Bar has pancakes on the menu but they also offer a challenge. A pile of 12 pancakes to be eaten in a certain amount of time. If you manage, you get it all for free. Not that we wanted to try the tower of pancakes, but we were quite curious about them! So we decided to go for a main and then share some pancakes.
We both chose an Oreo Milkshake. I went for a full American breakfast – basically an English Breakfast with a pancake and potato fries – and Ana went for the vegetarian breakfast. She also ordered Chili Cheesy Fries. The food was absolutely delicious and so filling. I was full before I could tell and there was no way I could eat pancakes!
An excuse to come back there I assume!
The milkshake were also amazing. To be honest, Oreo milkshake is probably the only one I have ever tried, wherever I have gone! Beware that it melts fast so drink it faster! Price point wise, the American breakfast was £10 which I think is fair. My experience at Pol Bar was great and if I was not leaving London mid-April, I’d definitely go back!







Have you ever heard of or been at Polo Bar? Ever spotted it out of Liverpool Street Station? Would you go? How much of a breakfast lover are you?
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you liked this post.
See you soon,

*The experience was complimentary but all opinions are my own.
Everything looks so good and fresh and appealing! You made me so hungry! Thanks for sharing!
A place where the portions are certainly not small, I really like abundance!
The food looks delicious, especially the full English and those cheeky cakes. It’s great that this place is open 24/7, and that you can go for a hearty meal at any time of the day.
Oh my that breakfast and those fries look soo good, that’s a meal that can definitely make me feel better after a night out.
Yum, this food looks tasty! I would love a breakfast like this, that’s for sure. I hadn’t heard of this place before reading this.
An oreo milkshake does sound good to me. This place has some wonderful food.
I am all for a 24 hour breakfast. What a great looking meal selection they have – I 100% could look to tuck into it all and I am sure I would enjoy every mouthful.
OH MY GOSH. This place looks SO GOOD. And I am ALL ABOUT 24 hour breakfast!
This all looks so good! Amazing that it’s 24 hours too. I can definitely think of a time or two that this would have come in handy. Your photos are amazing as well! x

All of that looks amazing! I am really watching what I eat, but that would be so tempting.
I am sold on all day breakfast! Especially if the breakfast looks as beautiful as the food you have pictured here! I could seriously eat eggs and breakfast food all the time.
Iβm really not a fan of British food, with the exception of breakfast! This looks and sounds delicious. Iβll check it out on my next trip to the UK
Oh My Gosh! The food would bring me back to Polo Bar every now and then! I’m literally salivating girl! That shake would be my favorite!
No, I haven’t been to this Polo Bar. But, this place looks great. Healthy breakfast 24/7 is a really helpful thing.
I am not much for milkshake thought my daughter is. Looks like she is gonna enjoy this one.
Yummy! That food looks so delish! I never heard of the Polo Bar before and I guess the next time I am in London I will look them up. I really like the fact that they cater for vegetarians. The food is so good that I better be running a marathon after eating it or been fasting for a day or two.
I wish I had more to dress up in! And this food looks so darn good too!
I’d so love to go this place at 3 in the night! And funnily, I like breakfast food the most, nor lunch neither dinner. They should have global chains! I’d love to visit this restaurant!
Earlier I don’t know about Polo bar. This place is perfect for date. I am adding this place to my bucket list
