Cavern open for breakfast from 8am, starting 25th 01 2014
Rebo actually got all of those stamps today. Quite impressive.

You posted that just to take the piss out of me, didn't you?
I - and a few other 440ers - had another great breakfast at Cavern yesterday. Top notch food as always, with the rehabilitated cambod struggling to get rid of even the half breakfast. Reports of his gargangtuan appetite are massively overstated.
Not for the first time, I struggled in vain to get hold of one of the mythical Cavern discount cards. On two previous occasions I wasn't offered one which is fine, since I forgot to ask.
This time I actually asked for one, and the lovely lady told me that they had run out. Which seemed a very reasonable excuse until two other 440ers, sitting at the same table as me, decided for a laugh to wait five minutes and then ask for cards for themselves.
Lo and behold: two freshy shiny Cavern discount cards were delivered to them upon demand.
You couldn't make it up. I didn't have the heart to ask again.
LoL, you really can't! !scobienz wrote:

And the only reason we needed another card after you was because they denied Rebo a free meal even though his card was full because the owner wasn't there, so they just gave him more stamps in new cards.
A discount card is not in the stars for you, Scooby.
What's that about, DV8?

The breakfast cook is new and still getting up to speed. I have passed on Scobie's comments to Robbie.

Actually, I don't think that's right cambod. I think the girl said she couldn't give rebo his free meal because Rob the manager had nipped out for a while - something like that.
Hey, I'm not complaining. Genuinely. But it was a great moment.

manager/owner/"something like that"
I'll take more specific notes next time (as I'm 99% certain you won't be getting a card the 4th time you go either, LoL).
I'm sitting at the computer right no and can spot the cards on the bar where they are most of the time. Why they are there I don't know. I'd be happy to Vlad and co a free brekkie if they are willing to make up for the losses incurred.

Tried the full English breakfast. Absolutely delicious. The pot of tea fills about 2.5 mugs. I have no idea how the other posters managed to finish the food and drink without serious help. Most of the expat locals I've seen look seriously thin and must eat like birds on a daily basis. I needed 4 Cavern girls to help me eat this monster. The girl behind the bar must've been a foreigner NGO girl in her previous life, she just packed the food away and finished the last bite. Despite all the help, I still had to waddle out the door.scobienz wrote:I can vouch for the breakfast too . . best breakfast in town by a country mile, and great value for money. With the $7.50 deal you won't need to eat again until dinner time, if then.
I'm working up the courage to get the $9.50 version one day soon.
Seriously, if your taking on a full English, bring friends, girl about to go to bed from the neighboring bars, street beggars, etc. to help. Plan on skipping lunch and maybe dinner afterwards.
Don't worry, be happy.
