Eating London Notting Hill Breakfast Tour
About this activity
Highlights
- Start your morning with a proper bacon butty at Ye Olde Green Hut, ketchup or brown sauce? You choose.
- Master the great scone debate at Cheeky Scone—is it “scone” like “cone” or “gone”?
- Taste an authentic beef and ale pie at The Notting Hill Bakery on bustling Portobello Road Market, where Sally Clarke made her legendary mark
- Speaking of plot twists, navigate the same streets where Hugh Grant bumped into Julia Roberts, while discovering bakeries that locals actually frequent
- Stand outside the famous blue door (some doors are worth queuing for) while enjoying a freshly baked cardamom bun and spiced chai from Chai Guys
- End at a charming French bakery that transforms into a renowned Indian restaurant by evening (only in London, eh?)

Reviews
So glad I booked this. The guide was great, the stops felt genuinely local, and the food was delicious from start to finish. Do this on your first day and come hungry!
One of the best Venice city food tour experiences we have ever done. The guide took us to authentic local spots, and every dish was fresh and flavorful. We especially enjoyed the cicchetti, the spritz pairings, and the delicious prosecco served with the polenta and polpetta di carne.
The best way to get to know a culture is to taste and learn about its food. My nephew and I had a great time on this tour, and I felt the expense was worth the experience. There was plenty of yummy food and drink, too.
