S & M (Sausage and Mash) Cafe - Portobello
268 Portobello Road, London, W10 5TY
S & M Café, short for Sausage and Mash, offers tasty and imaginative variations, as well as good versions of the original, on the theme of the genuine English breakfast, specialising naturally in London traditional sausage. S & M Cafe - Portobello, the original of all the S & M's currently in London, outlawed the deep fat fryer, as well as reviewing the contents and quality of what went under the grill and other more health-relevant bits of equipment. So it's out with the grease, chaps, and in with premium sausages, herbal teas, vegetarian compilations and cranberry juice. Which is not to say that you are left powerless to tuck away a good breakfast at midday, should you feel so inclined, though by that time you have to accept the All-Day-Breakfast, consisting of London traditional sausage, free range egg, mushroom, beans, tomato, bubble and squeak and toast.S & M Café, short for Sausage and Mash, offers tasty and imaginative variations, as well as good versions of the original, on the theme of the genuine English breakfast, specialising naturally in London traditional sausage.

The veggies strike back with the All-Day-Veggie version, which is as above but excluding all the naughty bits.
Then there is the gourmet sausage range, including the gamekeeper, with venison and red wine, and wild boar with apple and cider, and the counties version called the Cumberland and Lincolnshire.
They also have some decent bottled beers and the like, with, amongst the soft drinks, a mysterious range of beverages called Fentiman's drinks that owe their genesis to botanic brewing. There's also delicious Victorian lemonade, said to be - wait for it - sausage friendly - the ultimate accolade!

REVIEWS OF S & M (Sausage and Mash) Cafe - Portobello
David O (7 April 2009)
One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had in London. One English breakfast complete with one slice of bacon, one sausage, one egg, one 50p sized mushroom, a spoonful of beans and one miniature grilled tomato and one vegetarian breakfast with an inedible charred sausage, two blackened, slimy, tasteless mushrooms, a single egg, additional egg at £1.00, and same meagre bean and tomato ration. To top all this off, a small glass each of orange and apple juice, not fresh, cost £5.00! It’s really aimed at tourists drawn to the market, lured in by the 'British' theme and not expected to return.
Adam Buzasi (14 July 2005)
Jaded, second day clothes and hungover I was taken out for lunch. I did have second thoughts after reading the somewhat kinky name of the tucked away establishment. The beautiful girl in question had not taken me out before so this was going to be a true reflection.
I walked in and loved it. Lucky enough to get a booth, we sat and integrated into the retro, lazy vibe. Partly due to the chosen company, but the sign on the wall was so true. The mug of tea arrived, and then my bangers and mash. The tunes were British and it all fell into place, like JT, I was loving it.
I started to feel sick as I was smashed the night before, but to not be British and prevail as we damn well should do in such surroundings would be a crime, punishable by a 'pants down' beating. This is probably the most charming place I have ever been. Ladies, take a man here, and pay, and he will leave happy and have you in his mind for some time to come.
