The Friends Cafe is a welcoming independent cafe on Barnard Close in Woolwich, a short walk from Woolwich Arsenal station and the main shopping streets. Its broad daytime menu is built around generous portions, familiar British cafe cooking and quick service. Seating and takeaway options make it useful for breakfast, lunch, coffee or a substantial meal during a busy day.
All day breakfast sets combine eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, mushrooms, beans or grilled tomatoes with toast. Halal versions use beef sausages and a vegetarian breakfast replaces the meat with vegetable sausages. Extra avocado, smoked salmon, black pudding, poached eggs and other sides allow diners to adjust a set plate to their appetite.
Ciabatta, baguettes and sandwiches come with fillings such as tuna mayonnaise, ham and cheese, grilled chicken, bacon, egg and beef sausage. Jacket potatoes can be topped with cheese, beans, chilli con carne or chicken and tuna fillings, while omelettes arrive with chips and salad or beans. Burgers and children’s meals provide further straightforward choices.
Freshly cooked lunch dishes include meat or vegetable lasagne, spaghetti Bolognese, seafood spaghetti, carbonara and grilled chicken with mushroom sauce. Homemade battered cod is served with chips and either salad or peas. Apple pie with custard, carrot cake, chocolate cake and tiramisu sit alongside coffee, tea, fresh orange juice and homemade milkshakes for an easy sweet finish.
