We were looking for a new Breakfast place to eat and Family Circle was recomended.........open early on a Sunday was a real treat and bonus for us as we like to start our day early. The atmosphere was very inviting and had a homey feel to it. We were seated right away in a booth on the East facing windows, The morning sun felt great But with no shades we were blinded by the sun not real fun. Our server came and took our beverage order right away ( Good)
The Breakfast Menu was very extensive and we had trouble deciding exactly what to get. The price of the beverage was not in sight so I couldn't compare just how expensive my Hot Chocolate was but had I known I would not have ordered it. Once we made our minds up the order was placed and it didn't take long before we settled in to eat. The portion size was excellent and the temperature of the meal was right on ( Hot ). The server came by 2x to see if we needed anything. Once we were done our bill came and we paid and left in good time. Although the Food was good I do think it was on the slightly pricey side when compared to other Breakfasts of the same type. A Nice place to eat
Whenever going for a quick bite to eat, I always suggest this restaurant to friends and family, my boyfriend and I frequent the place for breakfast as well. It's usually busy, but our food is always hot and very tasty... Always exactly what I order, too, which is important to me being vegetarian.
I work for a huge chain restaurant, and am sick of frozen and pre-packaged food. The Family Circle is part of a dying breed of restaurant actually serving fresh and homemade food. Anyone who has had a bad experience here should give them another chance because I personally love everything about it and can't see why anyone would have been treated badly there.
So I went with some friends to the Family Circle for breakfast early one morning. We walked in and it looked very busy, we were worried about getting a table all together.
We ended up at a large table in the back, in a very dark corner. Afterwards we all commented on how glad we were to see the sun again!
Anyhow our waitress was very friendly, While we were ordering there was much discussion, many changes, and just a little bit of joking around. She never appeared bothered or flustered and she still got all our orders right ... which frankly I didn't expect to happen. (though it would have been our fault).
Anyhow our food came a little slowly and we dug in. It wasn't bad, portions were a nice size and the breakfast menu was more extensive than some. Still breakfast is pretty easy and most places are very similar.
Unfortunately we were a bit surprised by the bill, guess I am just used to very cheap breakfasts.
Dirty, outdated and snotty. Found a hair in my food and called the manager over. They had the nerve to say it was my own. Strange since it was not the same colour or curlyness of my own hair. They said I was just complaining for a free meal! What?? Was informed that the kitchen staff wear hats and because of this, it was impossible for hair to fall into the food! I don't think so. Never never never again. Any good reviews must be family, friends or being paid to say these things. If this is the best restaurant you've been to, then you need to get out of London and try real food.
There's no point in describing how terrible this food was. I'm almost positive everthing was either frozen or out of a can at some point. The menu has zero creativity and nothing fresh, it's as if someone froze a restaurant from 1985 in time and still operates it today as the Family Circle. We did have a large group so it's understandable that service would be a little slow but this was historically so...it took 90 minutes to be served anything and even then some of us were done before others had even been served. Only 2 of the 9 orders were entirely correct, some items forgotten completely (gravy, side salads, fries instead of salad, that sort of thing), and no one was satisfied with the taste. It's clear looking at the reviews below that the owners and their family frequent this website and like to post under pseudonyms.
