They came into existence because of the ready availability of raw materials: red clay for the pots, suitable ores for glazes, and wood and coal to fire the kilns. Perhaps the two most famous to . . . → Read More: Ewenny & Claypits PotteryYou might think the cafe from the Apprentice is somewhere near Canary Wharf, or the other glamorous buildings they show in helicopter shots in the Apprentice.
It's actually 13 miles away in the leafy west London suburb of West Acton. It's a proper builders' cafe, a local favourite and popular with cabbies. There's no music, no paintings on the walls, and there are barred windows. Yes, it has barred windows. The menu hasn't changed much since the cafe opened 52 years ago. But, in an age of endless choice and faffing about with ridiculously complicated coffee orders it's kind of refreshing to get back to basics. Brown sauce or red sauce. Strong builders' tea is generally the drink of choice. One customer came in and asked if they did lattes, to be told “no but I can warm the milk up”. Oh, and there were proper mugs- only The Apprentice contestants get the polystyrene ones. But what Bridge Cafe lacks in interior design, it makes up for in conversation. Frank and Gerry Marcangelo have been running the Bridge Cafe for 52 years. We talked to Frank. The Marcangelo's are from a long line of cafe owners. Their father bought the transport cafe when they were teenagers and they've been here ever since.
Or since Frank “had hair”, as he described it. The cafe is a favourite with locals, taxi drivers, and builders. While we were munching our respective bacon and sausage sandwiches all sorts of people drifted in- many of them greeting Frank like an old friend. Frank could probably tell you more gossip than Alan Sugar could about every Apprentice contestant in history. He's been a fly on the wall for the awkward squabbles between every losing team for a ten years. Frank said, “I don't pay that much attention to the what they're saying, but it can get really nasty. It's quite entertaining - usually they laugh about it afterwards”. It is clear that he hasn't let the fame get to his head, as he said “I've watched the show a few times”. The main perk for Frank though, is that “it brings a lot business”. Since the cafe started being used in The Apprentice it has become a bit of a tourist hotspot. It's easy to spot Apprentice tourists- they're the slightly lost looking customers not decked out in high vis and hard hats.
In fact, as we sat drinking our tea a teenage girl and her mother from Swindon walked through the door. As avid Apprentice fans the cafe was the first stop on their day trip to London. Some of the contestants return - Tom Pellereau, winner of the 2011 series of The Apprentice came back to the café for a visit. He'd even made himself a Bridge Cafe loyalty card. Luisa Zissman, on the other hand, was not the most popular contestant with the café staff, especially after referring to it as “that hole” in her column in The Sun. After a surprisingly delightful morning we said our goodbyes and left with smiles on our faces (and probably ketchup too). But not before making this vine.Welcome to the New Live with wood online shop.
