"Consider, not the lilies of the field, but your breakfast options at the witching demi-hour of in Central Croydon. Will you be a chosen one to purchase the last few cooling pancakes and syrup or a sausage burger at Mc D’s ? Will you...fail to summon energy to escalate up to M&S for a sandwich ? Will you, like this humble scribe, step back at Greggs and behold in horror the zeitgeist shrinkage of slim girthed baked goods, more positively regarded as giant canapes ? Nothing ventured nothing gained, I pushed against an open door at KFC in Church Street, just two tram stops down from East Croydon Train and tram stations, the one next to Timpsons on the left side of the tracks. At I had an original recipe meal , hot wings, cherry pepsi and punnets of hot sauce and garlic/buttermilk mayo, for under by card. The sauces have potassium, much lauded by nutritionistas , you can go plant (well, chip) based here, with zing and follow on to hunting and gathering edible plants at Surrey Street Market. The fizzy pop was liquid marzipan, because of the vanilla and cherry mix, novel. Unctuous, melt off the bone original recipe, contrasted with biscuity coated chili wings. Each sauce punnet cost and if you ever have non-KFC lunch on the go, I would urge you to stock up multiples of this hot sauce and garlic mayo. The hot sauce dialled down the sugar contains no tex mex cumin a good thing), the butter-milked mayo had extra oomph. I wish I had ordered extra chips, as even massive double dunking only used up half of each. KFC have researched this well with Mc Cormick saucieres. Great team here, Franchisee never mean with serviettes, smiley too.. The ambience would serve well for Saturday brunch after the Friday night before in my view, romantic even. The light is subdued by strategic posters. The ceiling is quite low and most are tables for two. The playlist included soulful Amy Winehouse rather than hectic drive-time radio. During Monday to Friday, this would be an inspired breakfast meeting venue for eight at the west corner, the wide wood Windsor chairs are expansive and um, friendly. One can rock in at o’clock ante meridian, on one’s credit card. Heaven."
