If you’re looking for a traditional full English breakfast, here is the place to go. It’s super tasty and sets you up for the whole day. Service is quick and great. There is seating within Peter’s snack bar as well. The location of this cafe in covert garden market also adds to the atmosphere and charm of the place! Highly recommended

We had went to the Jubilee market in Covent Garden and Peter’s Snack Bar is inside on one end. Of all the places we got chips in 10 days in London this was the best. Highly recommend it for hamburgers and chips. Small dining area but great for a quick bite. There were 3 adults and we all enjoyed our meal. Everyone who worked there was very courteous and friendly.

We discovered this place by accident visiting from Australia. We’ve since been back every time we return to London. The dirty chips are divine and the man at the table next to us told staff the Full English was the best breakfast he’s ever had. We’ve also had the bacon sandwich and I always get a hot Ribena as it reminds me of being sick in London as a child and being given this to recover. Can’t wait to come back this December. Super friendly and happy staff and customers who will happily have a chat with you.

Best cafe in Covent Garden. Good prices, fresh, classic British food. All day breakfast, everyday! Really good coffee too! Lovely independent cafe with takeaway or eat in. Been here since 1975!

Needed a quick snack. Just bought chips and a drink. Chips were fat and not greasy at all. Would have given stars but a couple Of The chips didn’t cook right through and so were hard. Lady serving was really nice. I know where to come next time I’m in Covent Garden. Price very reasonable for the area.

Small cafe tucked away in the market used by market traders as well as tourists. Lovely staff. Only 3 tables! I just needed a cappucino to wake me up before going around the antiques market. The cappucino was good and only £3 great by london prices! The food looked good, especially the chips, but I didn't try it. It's definitely worth a visit for a reasonably priced meal.
