If you imagine a traditional greasy spoon cafe this is what you would get.
However the food is not greasy it's perfectly cooked, the menu is simple with all your cafe favourites traditional breakfasts, sausage, egg & chips etc
The owners are wonderful very friendly
Yes it's the cafe from the apprentice but it's so much more then that one of the best cafes I've been to in a while perfect in every way if your looking for a artisan posh style cafe go somewhere else if your looking for somewhere with good food, drinks and service clean and tidy with high standards then the bridge cafe is a must.
I first went to the bridge cafe in 1989 first impressions were not good but my word do they know what they are doing.
Went back after contact and Gerry still remembers me. What a gent.
Great food and atmosphere hence 5 stars.
A little gem !!!!!
Just had a perfectly cooked breakfast. Friendly and prompt service.
Very clean premises and priced ok.
Very handy for the thousands of people that work in the industrial area south of the A40 at Alliance Road, Kendal Ave etc.
Didn't realise for ages this is café where they go at the end of The Apprentice. So unpretentious. Lovely owner & staff. Had s great hour or so chatting with them.
Cute little cafe with lovely gents running it and the best bacon buttys!
As a fan of The Apprentice I just had to visit! Lovely quaint cafe and great hot chocolate! If I were to lose a task on The Apprentice, I wouldn't be complaining about coming here! The owners were lovely, came over to chat to us after guessing we were Apprentice fans and told us about the area and stories from the cafe and even offered to take a photo of us outside. Definitely worth the visit :)
First visit as I wanted to experience the 'losers cafe' from the first few series of the Apprentice.
Traditional down to earth cafe - mostly cooked breakfast type food. Good service from the staff. Fair price and well cooked food.
Old fashion decor - but helps it maintain a traditional cafe atmosphere
Limited free street parking outside.
Recommend it
Traditional 'caff' with no nonsense grub, piping hot and served promptly. Proper baked potato was delicious. The owners, who recognised us for the Apprentice fans we are, could not have been more welcoming. A little gem, long may it thrive.
Popped in here as I heard that a star from this series apprentice, the 'I quite like bitter' guy is a local here. Being a gluten intolerant vegan, it can often be tricky for me to find a place that can cater to my allergies so I was thrilled to find this little gem. The great thing about their vegan brunch is not only can your experience be made bottomless, you'll chow down on everything from baked aubergine fritters to celeriac toast with scrambled tofu. DELICIOUS. I saw some posters up about their hot yoga classes which sounded great, practitioners get the chance to achieve strength and flexibility for both mind and body.
Def keen to try that next time. 5 stars
Popped in when visiting Kew Archives and watching John Bishops show. If only JB was as good as the Bridge breakfast.
Great little cafe. Well worth a visit
Great tea and a decent fry up. Open again after a very long pandemic shutdown. Frank and Gerry in residence and serving a great breakfast and good humour as usual. The home made Bubble and Squeak particularly good.
If you are a fan of the tv show "The apprentice UK" this place is a must! I have to say that it was the best part of my trip to London. The people working in there are awesome! They are mega friendly and will help you if you want to take some pictures. They have cups from the tv show (I bought one) and they offer a small menu to eat there.
Please note that you can pay only in cash.
As an apprentice buff I just had to try this place out and was hoping for a cheeky glimpse of some stars from the show. Did not disappoint!
In terms of the experience I have a severe peanut allergy so they agreed to remove all peanuts off the menu for the day and gave the place a deep clean to ensure there were no traces before I turned up. Unfortunately I went into a rather nasty anaphylaxic shock anyway but it was ok as the staff are all CPR trained and the manager is a paramedic on the side (CHEERS 4 HEROES)
Anyway excellent meal and I even got to take a photo of the ‘tastes really bitter’ guy from the apprentice! How lucky he happened to be there that day. He was eating a Thai masaman curry(hope it was extra bitter for him). If you call up in advance they can let you know the dates the apprentice are booked to film there. Although I don’t advise going then unless you’re ok with spoilers

Since this place changed hands Jean Fredderik Martines (ex soho house) has transformed this place (famous for the apprentice). Menu along Fire, Earth, Water & Space and Air, it's a real gem in this area. Popular with cyclists (think tech, man-buns & lycra) have changed the vibe from the older construction clientele, and the excellent wi-fi, power sockets and coffee is a great place to take the Mac and mix a bit of business and pleasure in a relaxed environment. Private Cycle storage round the back is handy, if like me and my business partner have expensive carbon framed bikes and don’t want to leave on the street. Menu wise I had the house Soul-Bowl (plant based buddah) and a chai latte - not bad under £20. The place teams up with local Yoga and Crossfit, so a good catch up with the guys after, over Fuss-Ball and retro computer games like Pac-man. Breakfast wise Retro 90s cereals (a bit done) and Vegan Patisserie. An Organic farm shop sells a good selection and highly recommend a Pommergramit Molaise, Italian sourced is amazing, and not bad and just over £15. Recommend this place.
Back many years ago this was "George's" cafe. I used to go there with a 6pence coin to buy my Mother 5 cigarettes ! so many memories of this place.!!
Friendly builders cafe. Good eggs and bacon, black pudding, hash browns and bubble. Outside tables catch the sun. Cafe where they filmed the end of The Apprentice. YOU HAVE BEEN FIRED mugs on sale . Beware Alliance Road bad road surface + width restrictions ! New tables and chairs inside.
Great hot food. Well worth a visit. Always fresh food. Pleasant people running it . Been there forever. Always a story to tell.
