• Sometimes the best kept secrets really are in plain sight
• Because it really is a neat little gem
• There's not much for those with restrictive halal diets
• The fish and veg options are pretty good (what can possible top a smoked salmon sandwich
• It a great place to catch up with friends there's not much to distract you from the company you're with
• 12.25 which is pretty unbeatable in my book
• Is fast food with a pinch of homecooking
• We only ordered two drinks with Mark going for a cappuccino whilst I ordered a latte
• The coffees were handed to us as we ordered at the counter and were both lukewarm and practically flavourless
• It too was served at room temperature and had Melvin wondering where the hell the crumble was as it lacked any crunch and had more in common with a stale apple pie than a crumble
• After about ten to fifteen minutes (and us twice asking whether the food was actually coming) the last two meals arrived at the table
• We both tucked in and were equally disappointed
• Because the chicken strips were dry as all hell and
• Let's be honest if your looking for an exquisite foodie dining experience this is not the place for you
• If you're ever around Liverpool street at 4 am in the morning and you are desperately craving some decent food to eat
• The friendly staff always provide great conversation whilst you wait for your indulgent fast food best had at the end of a night out
• The fried chicken and cheeseburger are two of my personal favourites
• The premium beef in the burgers is well accompanied by great cheese and fresh salad
• The fact that Polo is open 24/7 is another major attraction
• I like the salmon sandwich with wholewheat bread
• The chicken strips are also great if you're looking for something more indulgent
• The healthy food is always a plus point
• Have you ever dreamed of eating a full on stacked burger with dirty chips and a pint for breakfast
• After weeks of exploring the best of London's breakfasts I can say I'm a little bored (ouch
• We arrived around 15 minutes early to the Bishopsgate hothouse and were advised to walk around the area until our table was ready
• Despite the horrendous rain and hangovers both Alex and I were sporting (Hey
• The Polo Bar is the loved home of every Londoner
• Our booth was constructed just from tiles and there were wooden and metal details throughout the room
• From steak and chips which our next door diner was tucking in to
• Clearly we were all for stuffing ourselves full
• My mango and pineapple smoothie was refreshing and healthy clearly feeling guilty for breakfast and had a thick texture
• Vegetables and carbs this plate was a full on meal
• The gammon steak was perfectly cooked and not too thick
• Caramlised red onions was something I didn't think would work but really amped up the plates flavour
• The bubble and squeak I had was rammed with potato
• Course there were the more traditional fry up essentials such as the actually perfect fried egg
• The gloriously runny yolk provided even more sauce for the roasted tomato which was sumptuous and sweet
• Oh the festive breakfast also had stuffing and cranberry sauce which was Christmassy and added even more flavour
• Alex's bacon and bubble was also a real treat
• The bubble and squeak was surprisingly light and made a great alternative to the usually English muffin used with eggs Royale (which is what this dish is inspired by)
• His eggs were soft and delicate with a runny yolk for even more sauce that complimented the hollandaise
• 24 hours in the heart of London is the place to be when your tispy and you need substanence to absorb the liquid courage or a place to go for lunch with family or friends
• We always order to portions of cheesy chips ( with real cheese) and a large pot of tea
• The vegie burger was okay my bun was a little overdone and it was on a small side which is a shame because the portion of the cheesy cheaps are very decent
• The music they play is cheerful and the atmostphere is perfect
• I definetly recommend Polo Bar (City of London) to anyone who is passing by or wants to go out for a lunch time meal with their friends
• Great quality sausage and bacon served with bubbles on the side if you wish
• Polo Bar (City of London) is 24 hour so perfect for breakfast
• Since it's so convenient and is open 24hrs
• My favourite dish though is the Welsh Rarebit
• The seeded granary bread is a good choice and the tomato chutney works really well with the multi cheese topping
• On my last visit I opted for a poached egg on top and was disappointed to find the egg way overcooked
• There is seating if you wish to eat in an that is a big bonus
• I ordered the classic style hot dog with cheesy chips the food was lovely service was good also
• Perused the menu and were impressed with the offering although a little anxious about what would actually turn up to your table once ordered

• I went for steak which came with breaded mushrooms and onions on a pile of chips
• Her ribs came with sweet potato chips and a gorgeous BBQ sauce
• Considering this was quite late night

• Ve been past Polo Bar opposite Liverpool Street for many years and always turned a blind eye thinking it was just another greasy spoon café
• Little did I know it is a real gem in the big smoke in this city of London and the added bonus of being open 24 hours just like Duck and Waffle around the corner
• Polo Bar (City of London) is famous for pancakes
• I don't know if this is because it's hard to find places that do pancakes or places that do them well
• The American breakfast is a delicious must
• Nice burgers with black bread and very tasty hot brownie with ice cream
• The fry up was a no brainer but the pancakes were bang on
• The service is a bit tardy but one thing is guaranteed
• The veg burger was decent however the service is really quick
• Though this time my favorite bacon and avocado sandwich is no longer what it used to be
• When l pointed that out l was told l had to pay double for an extra serve of avocado
