East or West Green Eggs and Ham are Best

It's been awhile since I got my A into G and went in search of a good egg, so this morning's venture into Nottinghill was long overdue...


My mate Fee is always good at finding good 'uns and today was no exception. It turns out one of Shoreditch's little gems has recently taken the Central Line East and opened in Nottinghill.

I'd already heard great things about  Pizza East and when Fee told me that they a. doBrunchnotjustpizza and b. have Green Eggs and Ham it was pretty clear we were onto a winner. Having been weaned on Dr Seuss, I have spent most of my adult life looking for Green Eggs and Ham. A few years back, Fee and I found avery delicious version in L.A. (Huckleberry Santa Monica) but sadly as a quick flip to California on a Sunday isn't something I can manage every week, I was pretty damn made up to find them on my doorstep too.


So Pizza East Portabello then. It's just exactly my kind of place. Quirky decor. Unbelievable tummyrumbling smells. Ok so on some tables the stools are a bit weird and make you feel like you're sitting on the loo, but do a shuffle and find the comfy ones and you're sorted.


Fresh, squeezed juice. Tick. Although we missed the breakfast menu, there is an all day brunch menu. Tick. Although the menu doesn't fill a page there are some crackers. There was no chance of me having anything other than Green Eggas and Ham, but I did notice Avocado on  Toast with Chilli and a damn fine suasagey thing being delivered to the table next door.

In case you missed the Huckleberry review maybe I need to explain Green Eggs and Ham...basically perfectly poached organic eggs served on serano ham and english muffins, drizzled with a fresh basil sauce and zingy rocket. I'm not sure my 4 year old self would have liked them, but my thirty something self sure as hell did!

Coffee is good too.

As we noticed the most unbelieveable roast being prepared while we were there, not only will I be going back for brekkers soon, I plan to do a Sunday lunch. Oh and maybe a hangover Pizza too...

      Hi Sharon. I am sorry for the slow reply but thanks for the lovely feedback and recommendation. I always envisioned that this Blog would be more of a forum for Breakfast Lovers than one lonely voice so would you be willing to send me a review of Electric yourself? All I need some text and a picture or 2 :-)
