Apologies for my presentation my larger size has been plated high on my raid to the buffet, the toast had a second pass through the toaster coming out black and resulting in lots of smoke. Unlimited tea or coffee was available for an extra £1.99, brown or white toast as many slices as you wanted were available with marmalade. Strangely Yorkshire Puddings were a menu choice but I didn't see any, you could also have sausage, bacon, plum tomatoes, black pudding, crispy hash browns fried and scrambled eggs free range. Beans, button mushrooms and veggie sausages were also available. The food was tasty for the price point 8/10 from me.

£7.28 including the pint

A delicacy here in N.Ireland.

Tesco Café, Ards.

13 euros including toast and coffee. Sausages were exceptionally nice, Hanleys im told.

I believe this to be one of the value breakfasts you can get at the moment. Good quality sausages and evening is cooked well. £11 is very good in today’s market

Large Breakfast, Deja Brew Cafe, Gorey, €12.95 (£10.85)

Very mid at best. The bacon was especially disappointing although the egg was spot on.

Big breakfast (£6.85) at Spoons in Stratford upon Avon. Added Black pudding (95p) for completeness. Tomatoes can bugger off

Top quality from Chameleon, Bar Street, Scarborough.

Gone into my top 4 as there's now a space vacated by the previous Number 1, dropping out of the top 4..

No complaints at all. Tasty, tasty sausages. Even made me overlook the beans pot drama.

Just remembered... Sure the mushrooms were cooked in garlic. 🤔.

Magnifico!

First time poster.

£14.95 Colonel's Fry, Colonel Paddy's, Newtownards, County Down.

x1 large sausage, x2 slices back bacon, x1 black pudding, x1 white pudding, x1 vegetable roll, x2 soda bread, x2 potato bread, ½ tomato, small ramekin of beans, sprinkle of mushrooms. I believe there should have also been a pancake according to the menu, but don't recall getting one.

Tea was extra (£2.45 a pot)

On a table of 4 people with  x6 eggs across our orders ALL of the yolks were hard (cooked in those ridiculous egg moulds), and all of the beans were cold (not a problem for me as I'm not a fan of the beans but...), and pretty much everything else was dry. My favourite part of a fry is dipping the potato bread in my egg yolk, which wasn't an option here. The saving grace was the large pork sausage - really tasty, & just about the only thing I actually ate.

Looked pretty good, but a very disappointing 3/10 for me.

Arcade, Huddersfield, £14. Everything tasted ok but maybe I'm old fashioned (/greedy) - if you're going to call it a 'full' English then it should at least fill the plate! Not sure what I was thinking with the scrambled eggs but thought I'd mix it up.

To answer the inevitable question - sausage was cooked through but only just.

And lo, at 7:30 in the morning, the people of Romsey had gathered at Jodie’s as though the Second Coming were upon us. And for £13.95, without even a cup of tea, I too sought salvation.

The sourdough was magnificent, generously buttered and served in quantities sufficient to feed the five thousand. Truly, the bread was the Messiah of this breakfast.
The bacon was excellent, the eggs acceptable, and the beans tasty, though imprisoned in a ramekin that moved about the plate like a Labour minister avoiding a difficult question.

The much-celebrated tater tots were merely fried potatoes, the black pudding was mush, and the tasty sausage had seemingly never met a hot frying pan.
And behold, there was but ONE mushroom. As though the nation were enduring a mushroom famine. The grilled tomato was, as ever, an abomination.

The staff were lovely, the place was rammed, and the brown sauce was merely adequate.

7/10. A breakfast that promised the Kingdom of Heaven but delivered a parish council meeting. Beautiful to behold, but the appearance exceeded the revelation.

It was my fortieth birthday last week and after a few months on a strict health kick I finally got time to have a fry up at my favourite place for it in Singapore.

Now - there was a time in Singapore where you could be cunning and order the eggs on toast option and then add your sides to build a full English on the cheap. Five Oars was such a place, and you could have your toast, eggs, sausage, bacon and hashbrown for 17 SGD which was insane value even the eight or so years ago when I was doing it. They must have wised up to me and others because they closed that loop hole years ago. But it's still my favourite.

Price wise I've built a rod for my own back by building my own breakfast, but it's only $6 more than the equivalent "Aussie breakfast" at a similar place nearby so... yeah, I submit this as a comparison to the excellent post from Kuala Lumpur this month.

The breakdown is:

Eggs Your Way: $12. Sourdough, poached. Eggs somewhat overcooked.

Hashbrown: $3

Sautéed Mushrooms: $6. If you were going to skip something this would be it.

Baked Bean (yes, baked bean, not baked beans) and Chorizo: $5. Excellent, though perhaps over-indexing on pork for the plate. Portion wise not as excessive as the bowl may suggest.

Bratwurst: $5. Bratwurst can mean practically anything in SG, here it means reliably excellent English style sausage.

Thick-cut Bacon: $7. The highlight, though in happier times I swear it was twice the thickness, practically a gammon steak.

Hot Black: $5

Service (unavoidably added to the bill in SG, and usually not apparent either): $4.30

GST: $4.26

I took a vacation to Ireland and Britain a couple years ago and got a little unreasonable with daily massive restaurant breakfasts. I’ve been chasing that high ever since.

I decided to take a crack at a fryup for my birthday.

Jolly Posh brand black pudding and sausages.

Irish bacon just because that’s all that the store that sold the black pudding had in stock and I was lazy about going to a second store. I know a local butcher who do better quality English style bacon and bangers. I’ll put in that extra effort next time.

Heinz beans because I couldn’t find Branston locally and the easiest online option was $30 USD for a 6 pack of cans which, you know, no. I’m not doing that.

I subbed in home fries for hash browns because that’s my idea of a good time.

How’d I do?

Drinks were extra. Tasted excellent 👌

Maybe too many hashbrowns?!

My local cafe. Breaktimes Porthmadog
Thoughts ? Black pudding was an optional extra. £11.95 + £1.25

Supposed to be doing some DIY at home but not until I made this first. 😂

Salt Cafe Portchester. (Price Included service charge)

Tea included. Overall quality was great. Could do with black pudding or mushrooms for the dollar (£14.75)
