WARNING: Even though they serve tapas, the portion is not small.

My friend and I ordered four plates, and we couldn't finish everything. The meat here was delicious. We got the lamb skewers, pork belly (with crispy skin), and Spanish black pudding with potatoes. We didn't realize that each of these dishes also came with lentil and tabbouleh, so our vegetable mezze was a bit too much.

I highly recommend this place if you are hungry and in the mood for some meat.

Great greasy spoon.  Perfect full english and delicious fresh juice. Setting is unpretentious. 
Staff is friendly, gentle and effective. What else do you want from a café??? !!

The ginger pig cafe is a cosy place on hoxton street within hoxton market.  The cafe is open for brunch and dinner.  We dined on a Sunday afternoon, I was hoping to try the lunch menu however was informed that as they were busy the brunch menu would be served an hour longer until 4pm.

Be warned everything comes in huge portions at the ginger pig cafe.  The full Monty English breakfast is massive, unless you are super hungry or have a large appetite it is sufficient for two people.  So massive that it requires 3 dishes to serve the full Monty breakfast including a huge trough of baked beans!

I chose the healthier option of poached eggs with smoked salmon on toast.  Again the portion was generous but manageable.  I was also able to help eat 1 of the 3 slices of bacon and pork & leek sausages from the full Monty breakfast.  The pork & leek sausage was particularly tasty made with good quality ingredients.

Apart from the typical breakfast and brunch dishes there are burgers and rib eye steak on the brunch menu.  The burgers looked quite appealing and were enormous as well.

Great local spot that is casual and cozy that's great for dinners with good food and good portions. Ordered the duck salad and there were actual duck pieces (and not fatty). Typically you get a couple tiny pieces and the rest greens. This salad was filling and appropriate to be on the Mains list. I've heard good things about their brunch so will be back. 

Does not take reservations.

Fairly average full english for the price - expect better sausage and bacon given its credentials. Also had an an egg based breakfast which had overcooked, hard yolks! 

Cute setting though and great soundtrack, would give it a try for dinner but wouldn't return for breakfast.

Visited last night with a group of 4 and were simply amazed by the quality of food for the price.  Great quality cuts of meat, prepared well with simple, but tasty sides.  I had the smoked pork belly, which came with a side of purple slaw, pickles and chips.  The meat was tender, fall apart and nicely flavoured, albeit with a few bits that were a bit crispy for my liking, and served with a tangy sauce.  

Service was a bit slow, but with only one very friendly yet overstreched waitress, you have to give her a bit of a break!  Besides, £66 for 4 for dinner including a few drinks, you can't really beat that.  Have heard that their brunch is great as well, so look forward to coming back to try that.

Wonderful food - french style cuisine, great meats.
Good value for the fresh food and great quality.
Romantic atmosphere with dripping candles everywhere.
The service is sometimes a little blunt, but that just adds to the French ambience!
They don't serve diet coke but allowed me to go buy my own.

Went for Sunday brunch after some friends recommended it and was massively disappointed.   

I went for the Half Nelson which was their version of a cooked breakfast. I got half a tomato, 2 of the smallest poached eggs I've ever seen, 3 rashers of bacon, a single slice of sourdough toast and more beans that this breakfast should have warranted. Along with this there was some kind of chorizo sausage that was lukewarm at best. After complaining about this it was replaced however by this point I'd finished the rest of my breakfast. I'd expect a lot more for £8!  

The friends who had recommended it remarked that was the first time they had visited in 6 months and the food had gone downhill so hopefully they can return to their old standards

Went for Brunch after looking at the menu online- huge menu. Looked amazing. Had already decided what to eat before I had arrived! 
Upon arrival was disappointed that the menu had been reduced to 4 main choices. 
I ordered a sourdough bacon and fried egg sandwich. I asked for egg whites and a coffee with milk. My friend ordered a mocha with half Monty. 
25 minutes later we had yet to get any beverage- even water. When my coffee finally came my friend was told they didn't do mocha. She got black coffee 8 minutes later. 
A few minutes after that I was told they couldn't do egg whites! Are you kidding me!? 
Once the meals finally came her full English included a luke warm chorizo kind of sausage. My sourdough bread, egg, and bacon was disappointing as the bacon was barely cooked. 
Would not return.
