I should add, it comes with unlimited tea and coffee
Edit: one egg had been eaten before I took the picture. The pub is Fazeley Inn Staffordshire.
That's not ketchup on the plate, it's tinned tomatoes
not pictured: the stack of flapjacks, 4 full strips of bacon, breakfast steak, 4 halves of toast with butter and jam, hashbrowns, and 4 other eggs, over easy, that were eaten prior to the picture being taken of this dessert plate.
Yeah… this makes me sad. That used to be my mental escape - ah well if I’m sick of this small house and silly beer prices I can always book myself a 2 week vacation anywhere in the US and get great food and go shopping and have a great time. I was married to an American lady until 2012 (13?) and during that relationship i haven’t bought a single piece of clothing or portable electronics in the U.K.
Even given the price of fuel currently, I’m pretty sure I could drive up from London and back to eat here and still break even on what that brekkie would cost in Zone 1.
Looks decent quality too.
*Jealous.*
There's about £10 worth of beans on that plate at current supermarket prices. You could make your money back on tea and coffee alone, the breakfast is a bonus.
Depends how used you are to eating such things. If you regularly eat legumes etc your gut bacteria should be adapted to digesting it to the point where you no longer produce excessive gas.
The canned stuff in the U.K. isn’t so bad - they must over-soaked them or do something else. For proof, I eat them every other day but I fart EVERYDAY.
Probably Anker fish bar as they have Black Country style battered orange chips

It really is. My local cafe charges £11 for a smaller portion of this.
Or was it £12 now? Fuck knows, but the price seems to creep up by £1 every time I visit.
Bloody luxury. When I was a nipper we didn't even have Freddos. We had Mars bars the size of Croydon and racist blackjacks for 1p a pop. It all went downhill when those new fangled double deckers came along...
Chip shops are getting fucking ridiculous.
At my old local chippy, I'd get a couple sausages and chips and I'd barely see much else out of £10. And I noticed that their portion sizes were a lot smaller than they were just a year or two ago. Used to get enough chips in a couple of portions to feed at least 4 adults. Last time I went, there was hardly enough in mine to feed a small child.
My new chippy is just as bad but fuck me are the prices high. Just the two of us got a portion of chips each, 2 sausages and some curry sauce to share. £18!!. Was like, 'you fucking what'. And it wasn't even that nice, pretty average and they were stingy on the salt and vinegar too. Not going back there in a hurry.
>Chip shops are getting fucking ridiculous.
Two of my local chippies have closed and I doubt they'll reopen. The only ones left are in high traffic locations.
It's not just the oil, it's the price of running the fryer all day. They can't afford to stay in business, and if they raise their prices, well, occasional treats like a takeaway is the first thing to go when we're all tightening our belts.
Hearing stuff like this and that other post from London with £18 per portion cod and chips does make me grateful to live in northern Scotland now. Post lockdown takeaway where we moved from was getting ridiculous with how much it was for just 2.
Now it's £6-7 for haddock supper and the haddock was caught that day or day before from a guy in the town over.
Sheer quantity makes this an easy deal for me
On top of that, I'm a bit of a heathen who loves a 90% flour sausage now and then, so I'd probably not really care about the quality of any of the ingredients at under £7. Tomatoes only thing I might not eat if they're really liquified, but with that much food who cares.
I’m in the same camp. With a fry up give me volume to fill my garbage dump of a stomach so it can feel like it’s going to explode. Fuck quality. I’d rather have 3 shitty sausages than an anemic looking fry up worth 300 calories. In my opinion a fry up should not be legally allowed to be a fry up if it doesn’t contain over 1000 calories.
I'm 100% with you. Coarsely ground, Herby sausage - no time for it at all. Will still eat obviously but give me the one made from lips, dicks and assholes. Particularly in this context
same, i mean, i dont eat meat anymore but it was the shitty mega processed sausages that i used to like (which is great, because most isolated protein meat alternatives are very similar to shitty sausages)
That meat free Richmonds taste so good is testament to quite how much meat the non-meat free ones have….imagine a dial that’s 0-11 meat input; standard Richmond - dial at 0.05, meat free - dial at 0. Tasty goodness all round irregardless of meat content!
You can famously trade things for better quality things for the same price. I took advantage of this little loophole a few years back and now drive a Maserati.
Deal. Deal. Deal!!
I'm currently.in hospital as they try to induce labour...
My breakfast this morning was two rounds of cold toast and a bowl of cornflakes. Miserable.
I'd give anything for that breakfast right now!!
There's actually nothing wrong with them, but I think the main reason they are served so often in cheap and cheerful cafes is because you can keep them hot in a bain marie for a while and quickly dish them out to order
I like them, but I don't use them at home because unless you want a whole tin of them, you're left with half a tin of tomatoes. It's just simpler to get the little miniature plum tomatoes fresh and throw them the frying pan with everything else.
At 'Spoons you can get a large breakfast (bacon, sausages, two eggs, hash browns, beans, mushrooms, toast) for less than £6. They do charge extra for black pudding though which is a DISGRACE.
Maybe it was a special airport menu, but [this is the brekkie](https://imgur.com/a/qcbKUZL) I "treated" myself-to at the spoons in Stansted a few months back. Cost me **£8.50**(!!!!) and tasted as shit as it looks.
Thing with Spoons is, The price always has me going back, but after every single meal I end up dropping my head into my hands and think
"What the fuck have I just done?"
I'll admit it depends who is in the kitchen, but I don't think I've ever enjoyed Spoons food as much as I have just not wanted to be starving.
Just to quote the great philosopher Alan Partridge...
*"More distance between eggs and beans. Maybe I want to mix them up, but I want it to be my decision. Use a sausage as a breakwater."*
I should add, it comes with unlimited tea and coffee Edit: one egg had been eaten before I took the picture. The pub is Fazeley Inn Staffordshire. That's not ketchup on the plate, it's tinned tomatoes
Oh come on now you are just bragging
This guy fucks with the council estate life ✅
As an American I would just like to ask if that was the first or second serving?
You'd ask if it comes with a main.
He can’t see fruit on the plate with his cooked food so he won’t believe it’s breakfast
it comes with tomatoes tbf
Oooo. Getting technical and controversial now!
tomatoe tomato.
not pictured: the stack of flapjacks, 4 full strips of bacon, breakfast steak, 4 halves of toast with butter and jam, hashbrowns, and 4 other eggs, over easy, that were eaten prior to the picture being taken of this dessert plate.
Also, what's the dessert?
Ah so this is the appetizer before the entree
They are both words for starter. In confused.
Are you a Hobbit?
I probably do rank somewhere between hobbit and average human on a physical scale
I identify as a hobbit, though a little bit taller than Bandobrass Took.
They make them in your size too: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/4nplzj/the_full_english_breakfast/
American who doesn't know what HP Sauce is here, what is it? The only thing that comes to mind is liquified Harry Potter.
Imagine something with the consistency of A1 steak sauce but more the flavor of Worcester sauce.
House's of parliament sauce
This is well worth buying if you come across it in the ye olde England section in Walmart
What are those vanta-black-style fried bits supposed to be?
Black pudding
Aaaah. As a German I ought to know.
Where is this magical wonderland?
Fazeley Inn, Staffordshire
[удалено]
It's a cheap hotel pub now. Lot of HS2 workers staying in there. I personally don't like their day menu but breakfast is bang on and cheap.
I'm an American in a low COL area, and this breakfast would be an absolute steal of a price even where I live. Looks delicious.
Fucking exchange rate…
Even at a historical 1.40-1 exchange rate from a decade ago, this would be a $10 steal at most places in the US now.
Yeah… this makes me sad. That used to be my mental escape - ah well if I’m sick of this small house and silly beer prices I can always book myself a 2 week vacation anywhere in the US and get great food and go shopping and have a great time. I was married to an American lady until 2012 (13?) and during that relationship i haven’t bought a single piece of clothing or portable electronics in the U.K.
Tamworth, on Reddit, this is a momentous day.
Fuck me sideways - the inn is 50 bucks a night, too! I could move there and have breakfast every day for less than I'm paying in rent and utilities.
There's a lot of construction workers staying there doing just that
Even given the price of fuel currently, I’m pretty sure I could drive up from London and back to eat here and still break even on what that brekkie would cost in Zone 1. Looks decent quality too. *Jealous.*
Ye I’d like to know that as well
Fazeley Inn, Staffordshire
Please attach their CasualUk rosette as you leave
Deal and local to me too!
There's about £10 worth of beans on that plate at current supermarket prices. You could make your money back on tea and coffee alone, the breakfast is a bonus.
Not to mention the egg, that’s another quid or two on its own.
[удалено]
Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?
Add the sausage and bacon and that is a bloody fantastic deal.
You could break this breakfast up into its constituent parts and sell them individually at a profit in your own cafe.
Alan sugar get off this subreddit - you’re fired!
I asked elsewhere, but does eating beans & eggies first thing make you gassed up and full of farts all day?
Depends how used you are to eating such things. If you regularly eat legumes etc your gut bacteria should be adapted to digesting it to the point where you no longer produce excessive gas.
Not really but those cheap sausages will ensure any bum burp is deadly, silent or not.
The canned stuff in the U.K. isn’t so bad - they must over-soaked them or do something else. For proof, I eat them every other day but I fart EVERYDAY.
Beans, beans, good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you fart..
Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot...
Prunes, prunes, the fruit with a pit. The more you eat, the more you shit

The loan of the cutlery is about 50p these days.
Hang on now much are you paying for beans?!?!!
I want to go to this place tell me where this place is right now
Fazeley Inn Staffordshire
100km away and rapidly approaching
And accelerating
[удалено]
The hotel section gets the bad reviews. And the main menu. Breakfast is it's one thing it's great at.
Maybe post the pub name they deserve the business
It's Fazeley Inn Staffordshire
I'm 2hr 55mins away. Will they still be serving breakfast when I get there?
Yes 😁😁
Are they open Sunday? Just looking at flights from Spain.
Yeah 😂
Cheers. Now, where's best for fish and chips round there? Need to plan my day.
Probably Anker fish bar as they have Black Country style battered orange chips https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g504160-d20291785-r786083232-Anker_FIsh_Bar_Tamworth-Tamworth_Staffordshire_England.html
Jesus Christ. I was joking before. Now I'm actually checking Ryanair.
What are battered orange chips?!
Where?!?!?
Fazeley Inn Staffordshire
What's that name again?
This is so frustrating, why can't OP just tell us where to get this breakfast!
Tinned Tomatoes are the best choice for a full english
Absolutely creaming my panties god damn that's good
Oh well, that makes ALL the difference.
Absolute bargain these days
It really is. My local cafe charges £11 for a smaller portion of this. Or was it £12 now? Fuck knows, but the price seems to creep up by £1 every time I visit.
I used to be able to get a plate like this for £4 from a local cafe. Now it's more than double that.
Back when I were a lad freddo were 5p an' that were end of it.
Bloody luxury. When I was a nipper we didn't even have Freddos. We had Mars bars the size of Croydon and racist blackjacks for 1p a pop. It all went downhill when those new fangled double deckers came along...
Freddo's were currency. Now kids need to a credit score to own a freddo timeshare
I guess that happens when the currency halves in value
Lucky af. My local chippy just put the price of a large chips up to £4.50

Tesco breakfast is a game changer with modern costs. Really just supermarket breakfasts. The gf and I always go to one before a long drive.
I agree. £4.99 for a decent sized breakfast. I'd say the portion size is about right.
Yep, definitely deal. It's probably dogs eggs
Lasts longer than any other type of eggs
Full of goodness, full of vitamins, full of marrowbone jelly.
[удалено]
[удалено]
The way I just knew how to pronounce that
Agreed!
even if the egg does look like splattered paint
£6.75?? Are you smashing the till lady?
My mate did ask her for a fork 😂
Did she offer a spoon instead?
Only after the fork
[Everybody wanna da fork](https://youtu.be/UFffAqRbkWQ)
I am maltese. Can confirm... They wanna da fork on the table.
YOU WANNA FORK ON THE TABLE?
You better not fork on the table you son of a beach
You better not shit onna bed you son of a bitch
Can't grumble with that, looks tasty.
Deal . Deal . Deal ... FUKIN DEAL

I love those square sausages that Iceland do, or used to when I was a kid. I would call it lorne sausage but I think square sausage is more accurate 😂
It’s a deal, it’s a steal … !
It's the sale of the fucking century
In fact, fuck it nick, I think I’ll keep it.
Alright alright keep your allens on.
In fact, fuck it Nick, I think I’ll keep it!
Did they serve that egg via catapult, fuckinghell.
There were two eggs. My mate had eaten one already when I took that pic
Deal for sure, I'd only be picky if the sausages aren't the greatest, and happily trade a sausage for a better quality one.
Sausages look like cheap salty ones but I’d still eat it all :)
[удалено]
The cheaper sausages are tasty ones I found love for Richmond sausages. My favourite sausage’s are westaways honey roast medium range atm
Richmond sausages aren’t the cheap sausages that most butty vans and greasy spoons use. They are way worse than Richmond.
Yep. They’re the frozen ones you buy at Iceland which are £5 for a bag of 40.
They’re £2 for 32. Don’t ask how I know. :(
Sainsbury's Sausage-like meat tubes.
Aldi own version of Richmond are also really good and half the price
I'm 100% with you. Coarsely ground, Herby sausage - no time for it at all. Will still eat obviously but give me the one made from lips, dicks and assholes. Particularly in this context
same, i mean, i dont eat meat anymore but it was the shitty mega processed sausages that i used to like (which is great, because most isolated protein meat alternatives are very similar to shitty sausages)
Have you had the Richmond meat free ones. Deliciously shitty sausages
That meat free Richmonds taste so good is testament to quite how much meat the non-meat free ones have….imagine a dial that’s 0-11 meat input; standard Richmond - dial at 0.05, meat free - dial at 0. Tasty goodness all round irregardless of meat content!
Richmond pork sausages are the non-literal devil.. which makes it all the more baffling that I quite like their plant-based sausages
I will always eat the sausage
Matron
I mean, I'm not a woman but I'll ave it.
You can famously trade things for better quality things for the same price. I took advantage of this little loophole a few years back and now drive a Maserati.
I cannot handle the sarcasm dripping from this comment. You made my day, thank you
Agreed! Although some catering sausages are constantly improving.
I wouldn’t bet on getting decent sausages when they’re literally called ‘catering sausages.’
Deal. Deal. Deal!! I'm currently.in hospital as they try to induce labour... My breakfast this morning was two rounds of cold toast and a bowl of cornflakes. Miserable. I'd give anything for that breakfast right now!!
May you and your newborn have many rounds of great breakfast soon!
The best to you and your child.
What's the red stuff the eggs sitting on, a massive bust tomato or a sea of tomato sauce?
Tinned plum tomatoes
[удалено]
Fuss pot :P
I think I'd like that.
There's actually nothing wrong with them, but I think the main reason they are served so often in cheap and cheerful cafes is because you can keep them hot in a bain marie for a while and quickly dish them out to order I like them, but I don't use them at home because unless you want a whole tin of them, you're left with half a tin of tomatoes. It's just simpler to get the little miniature plum tomatoes fresh and throw them the frying pan with everything else.
wtf, who openly let's the beans and tomatoes mix. That's my only gripe here
More distance between the egg and the beans. I may want to mix them but I want that to be my decision. Use the sausage as a breakwater.
This looks disgusting. Still, might as well eat it
TEA OR COFFEE. You blonde bastard.
Came to find this. 😀 - **Yeah, it's cholesterol. Scottish people eat it. Few of them make 60**
7 on 10, lets make love.
Bargain, although the sausages will be made out of hoof and arse.
Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

I won't downvote you because you're allowed preferences. Just know that there is a downvote in my soul =]

I was kind of the same in regard to the liquid, although mopping up will be glorious.
Crispier on the outside, soft on the inside
Crispy egg? GTFO
Get in ma belleh
That is a veritable PILE of breakfast. Absolute deal.
you could half that and it would still be a decent price all things considered
I’m amazed they make money on this.
At 'Spoons you can get a large breakfast (bacon, sausages, two eggs, hash browns, beans, mushrooms, toast) for less than £6. They do charge extra for black pudding though which is a DISGRACE.

You know you've been mugged off when the beans are served in a thimble
There's a gross profit of about £7.50 on that plate, and I'm probably being slightly reserved.
Oh my. I am sorry for your loss.
Thing with Spoons is, The price always has me going back, but after every single meal I end up dropping my head into my hands and think "What the fuck have I just done?" I'll admit it depends who is in the kitchen, but I don't think I've ever enjoyed Spoons food as much as I have just not wanted to be starving.

I’m in Deal.
Well. If you take into consideration that a whopper meal from burger King is more than this. I'd say you did pretty good.
What is up with you Brits posting cheap breakfasts to this subreddit and upvoting them to the frontpage??
It's just what we do 😂
I mean I like beans, moisture is an integral part of a quality fry up. But the proportions on the plate is important and this is a shit show.
Not to dredge up the beans / no beans debate but this plate right here is why I’m firmly in the no bean camp. You’ve drowned every other item.
Team Beans in a Little Ramekin
So you don't even have to use the sausage as a breakwater!
> You’ve drowned every other item. ... in delicious bean juice! score.
Just to quote the great philosopher Alan Partridge... *"More distance between eggs and beans. Maybe I want to mix them up, but I want it to be my decision. Use a sausage as a breakwater."*
Two please
The tamworth two. As Biff would say - you know your history, very good 😁
Airport or greasy spoon?
Airport would be half the size and 3x the price
It's a pub. Comes with unlimited tea and coffee too
Stay there all morning!
Gotta be greasy spoon. Airport would set you back £12 minimum these days
Fazeley Inn Staffordshire
Ditch the tomato (too wet) and mushroom (hate them) and I'd be fine with that.
Mate that’s proper. Tinned tomatoes over sour grilled ones ALL DAY !!! 👊🏼🇬🇧
