Round 1: Margo’s Lounge
The Breakfast Club start on their long journey in search for the greatest breakfast around.

☕ Nice cuppa tea, friendly staff — 2/5
Pros: nice cuppa tea, friendly staff, your meals looked quite nice, did have gluten free options on the menu.
Cons: rubbish parking, didn’t like the atmosphere, didn’t feel very clean, didn’t do a fry up!!, cooks didn’t seem very hygienic, don’t see the point in seeing into a kitchen when it looks like a greasy spoon.
💎 The Jewel Of Gorleston — 4/5
The Jewel Of Gorleston Friendly staff, amazing food, great cuppa, wonderful ambience. Strongly recommended (unless you are a moody bastard)
👵👴 Looked like an old peoples home and don’t do breakfast…good one — 0/5
The first breakfast we have don’t do breakfast, dreadful. Only fry ups on a Saturday is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard from a café. I think they need to jack it in and just open the place at 11:30am when apparently (according to their menu) is when coeliacs are allowed to eat.
I ordered a bacon bap and got a bacon sandwich, I’ll look past that but then I get 2 measly bits of bacon which were no better than Greggs but 3 times the price. I then have a small glass of apple juice (£1.50) which was from concentrate crap that you get down a Tesco aisle.
They have gone for a shabby chic look (more gods waiting room) for the place which felt like an excuse not to clean. Only positive was the staff were alright but overall the ‘breakfast’, if you can call it that, was awful and I will never be returning. Forgot to add, table for 9 and they give us 2 menu’s, great planning.
🍴 We had to go get our own knifes and forks — 3/5
Service was great, and atmosphere was nice. OJ was good and bacon was tasty, not really sure about the syrup though. Disappointing variety of selection on the menu and not great for parking. Also no wifi or signal available. One major issue, we had to go get our own knifes and forks.
🚗 Parking was a bit of a pain — 2/5
Service and food were both good, but I did order something that I didn’t really fancy as there weren’t many options (and I was looking forward to a fry up or something like it). Liked that it was quirky but looked a bit garish and grubby in places. Parking was a bit of a pain as limited to one hour.
😂 Waitress had top banter — 3/5
A solid 3 out of 5 sausages from me. Pros: Teapot was bigger than my head, I’m still buzzing from the sugary goodness on the waffles, waitress had top banter, and if you happen to like retro decor like glass bells hanging from the windows, and flowery lamp shades (which I do- reminds me of my grandad’s house circa 1993), then you’re in.
Other members of the party didn’t appreciate this atmosphere. Each to their own. Moody bastards. Cons: Despite an a4 double sided menu with a a ‘busy’ 70s design that made my eyes bleed, there were actually very few breakfast options. Bonus point for the old record player in the corner. Shame only the ‘mature’ members of the breakfast club recognised the tunes.
🙏 Customer Service was on point! — 3/5
Very welcoming staff and nice relaxing background music playing. Impressed with the cleanliness of the table…from where I was sitting. Ordered their bacon butty, got a sarnie. Could of stuffed more bacon strips in there but hey ho there are definitely worst places to eat. Latte was nice.
