An Albion breakfast bap on every London high street
Taking an “f” out of the caffè in his sister Priscilla and brother-in-law Antonio’s Carluccio’s chain, Sir Terence Conran announced plans to open a string of British cafes based on his successful Albion formula: “Typical British caff food, nothing challenging or complicated, just straightforward hearty ingredients and recipes.” In a word, contrived.

Roy – Yes I’ve been to the Albion in Shoreditch: that’s where I took the photo of the breakfast bap. I like it, too, but prefer the genuine article.

I hear you. Haven’t been there, so I can only speak to the quality of Albion.
On another note, just discovered this blog and it’s simply fantastic.

When I visited The Albion, the passable food was completely undone by the laughable service. Completely refused to clear our table or look at us for over an hour.

Why “contrived”? Have you been to Albion Cafe in Shoreditch? It’s pretty awesome.
