There's no way the black pudding was homemade. 

 

All in though not bad. Not great,  but not bad.

The menu description set a level of expectation that the reality doesn’t deliver. Apart from the chips it doesn’t look too bad but I had high hopes, so I’m left feeling a little disappointed in the County of Northumberland.

 How was the fried bread? 

It was ok. Nice and crispy even if it was only a 3rd of the size of a slice of bread.

If you're going to ruin a breakfast by putting chips on the plate, you may as well put a lot more than 4 on there.

Errrm, salute heritage potatoes according to the menu. 

 

But yeah, no need for them and just a plate filler.

1 sausage, half a black pudding. Fuck that

I only had one bite of the sausage and left the rest. To stodgy for my liking.

 

The black pudding was bland as fuck. Had one taste and the left the rest.

Yeah but “Ingoe” eggs though!

Had eggs to use up so had more of them rather than more elements (also the reason for the cheapest fork known to man, it's good for a quick pre-pan whisk).

 

Shame that I had to go with Tesco bacon but the butcher was closing up just as I got there yesterday. Tasted good though, fan of the new black pudding.

That’s a belting looking sausage NV, absolutely no need to be concerned.

 

the plate Would benefit from beans, we all know that. And fried bread isn’t very nice, so that can go. But there’s nowt wrong with what’s there otherwise.

I’m with you on the beans. That’s a burned sausage though. Looks dry all in all, especially the Guinness turd.

I have a new found love for fried bread since using the @lifetime fan method. It was lovely again, right in the rich yoke of those blue eggs.

You need your carbs and you're doing something pretty special so I'll just ignore the beans. 

 

That looks nothing like the description on the menu. I was expecting a huge almost record breaking bastard pile of food. They've tried cooking the bacon in the sun on the windowsill. One sausage is an insult to a grown man. Chips? CHIPS? On a breakfast?! 4 uncooked bastards at that. The half moon black pudding is the final nail in the coffin here. I can only assume you left the place like this

Only had two eggs left, and no beans so found some tinned tomatoes and shoved some Tabasco in with them while they cooked.

 

not ideal but should do the trick.

What shape have you cut that toast into?

More of this. More.

Here's my morning effort. One for you anti beaners and anti hash browner's. British blue eggs were brilliant. That's a fried slice and not toast.

Hahahahaha did you throw the other half in the fire while you cooked the eggs and bacon? How are your teeth? Any left?

You may as well use the withdrawal method. Ie; Withdraw it from the heat 14 hours earlier than he would.

Yesterday's effort was from Tilly's of Castelon, in the Peak District.

 

All pork products were sourced form a local farm:

 

2 x superb quality sausages (one hiding under the egg)

2 x well cooked, thick, smoked bacon

1 x perfectly cooked fried egg

1 x moist, delicious black pudding

Well grilled tomato

Mushrooms - good (hidden under the egg)

Beans - superb, naturally

Toast - cut in to triangles, pre-buttered

It also came with potatoes (again under the egg) which had obviously been fried in the bacon fat, I wouldn't choose them but they were tasty

 

A little on the expensive side - £14 (an extra £1 for the black pudding, £1 extra for a sasuage for dog, plus coffee and an orange juice) but absolutely excellent quality.

 

9/10, as good a fry-up as I've had in a long, long time.
