I was due to go on a photowalk in Greenwich, and my family suggested Sunday Brunch in Greenwich at 1115. The suggested Venue was Rivingtons as it ticked most of the boxes for reputation, child friendly, vegetarian tolerant, and location. I am not a bruncher, but because we had to be done and dusted by 1pm, it was the only potential answer.
I am always suprised by the the number of people who don't eat breakfast at home. I know I have a friend in NYC who says that he has never ever cooked in his kitchen and eats 100% of his meals out, but has that culture come to London, or is that the eating of breakfast out is a treat I am not used to? Clearly many others have got past that questioning stage, because it was busy. May be the proximity to the city and Canary Wharf distorts the demography. I could not say with any certainty how many of the diners were Greenwich tourists (of which there are many).

I decided on the full English as it was breakfast and lunch combined, and the place did not change from the breakfast menu until the noon bell had rung.
This is not greasy spoon breakfast, and it clearly is being presented as if warranted the same care and attention as any other main dish. It was a mixed CHOF with some elements warmer than others but overall it gained a 7.7, with the sausage as an 8.5 as they always retain their heat better. The quality was excellent, and the quantity was sufficient to keep me going until the evening. This is quality breakfast for those with disposable incomes, and clearly they know where to come. I did not know that this was part of a group called Caprice Holdings, and if you check out their web site http://www.caprice-holdings.co.uk/ it will give a clearer idea of the quality of their stable.
