We ordered the build your own, where you choose your bread, meat (or cheddar, avocado, etc), 2 topping items (like lettuce and tomato), and a sauce (pesto, mayo, spicy mustard, hummus). Our order came out within about 5 minutes on a Tuesday at 12:15/12:30, though I think once the line got longer, the wait time increased too. One huge positive is that the service was great when my husband's sandwich with hummus was not as expected (it was like horseradish or spicy wasabi, rather than the mild American hummus we're used to), and they provided him with a new sandwich at no charge. The one negative was the seats are not very comfortable. But otherwise, a good experience.

Now on to the incredibly unfortunate part: My breakfast. I ordered the Lebanese breakfast plate, which is avocado toast zhuzh'd up with hummus, fresh cream, feta, eggs, and purple cabbage (yes, the addition of this brassica should have been a red flag). What I got was a cute turquoise plate with a mound of what was my order covered in bright pink sludge masquerading as hummus. I'm guessing the chef thought that pink hummus would be an inventive choice against the plate color? Aside from the color, the taste was horrific and most-definitely not homemade. Hummus is at its core essence a 4-ingredient situation (chick peas, water, tahini, lemon juice) but this tasted like only the first two items were used). Underneath my "hummus" was a shed load of boiled cabbage and the lightest of smatterings of old brown avocado which tasted like avocado when it's gone brown and should, therefore, be binned. So two stars for the quaint ambiance and take my warning seriously and steer clear of what I ate. Hopefully, their other offerings are better.

With just half an hour to spare before it closed (it's only open till 3pm) we sped to the restaurant to find it bustling with customers. The menu is extensive with what must be around 50 items including a specials menu and loads of veggie options. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich (£6.50) which was dripping with a ridiculous amount cheese. The order also came with a pot of slightly salty tomato soup to dip the sandwich in. Overall the breakfast club has amazing hangover food in a homely environment. Portion sizes are huuuuge too!

Treat yourself, you will not regret it.

I left with a chicken, roasted pepper, tomato chill sauce and cheese sandwich on Italian bread. All then toasted. More not sound like much, but it is amazing! I have also tried a tuna melt which wasn't as amazing and I now won't cheat on my original lunch choice! There are loads of options here - different bread, different toppings, hot or cold, small or large. They also have a fresh salad bar, a hot food counter, ice cream, cold drinks, crisps, little area that sells homemade cakes and biscuits and even a little area that has biscuits in tins and olives etc. You can take away or eat in for a little extra. Little tip - if you taking your sandwich away (this may apply to eating in too, but I've never done that) order your sandwich at the counter where they are making them, get a ticket then go and pay.

Wapping isn't among the places i visit very often (or ever at all). So it was a nice coincidence…read morethat got me here with a group of friends for breakfast a couple of weeks back. It is a small restaurant ... capable of seating atmost 10-15 people at a time. But the available menu was extensive. From pre-prepared paninis and sandwiches and baguettes to cooked on the spot items like omelettes and english breakfast, they served the entire range of breakfast foods. It would be a good place for a weekday lunch too. Two of us went for omelettes, one for an English breakfast, one for a panini and one for porridge. Together we tried almost the entire range they had to offer. I liked the breakfast, and the omelettes were very popular, both the vegetarian and the non vegetarian one. It was pretty large in size. My friend didn't enjoy the turkey panini, but he has only recently started eating meat ... so I wouldn't read too much into his review yet :) The employees were very courteous and accommodating, although the service was somewhat inefficient. They seemed lost in thought occasionally. The combined bill for the five of us came to around £27 which I thought was very reasonable. I do want to visit Pumblechooks again.
