You would want someone polishing your oak though for all you get

 

I just have to laugh that people would search out such ambience then order a fry up and pay over the odds.

In order for me to find the perfect plate, I’m not going to discriminate. If a place offers a fry-up, 9 times out of 10 I’m going to order it.

 

It has nothing to do with discrimination, just an observation and an opinion. If people want to pay that money in those surroundings for a fry up then they are entitled to do so, the same as I'm entitled to think they are fucking idiots.

Never said you’re not Pistonbroke. Literally the only reason I upload these plates is to gather opinions.

This place is smack in the middle of the city isn't it? There's plenty of over priced breakfasts round there and many not as decent looking as that one. I wouldn't pay 15 quid for it, but I've paid more for worse and more importantly the prices are set for people on expenses taking clients for breakfast. If someone else was paying, I'd take it, it's great value at zero.

Looks like a decent enough breakfast, mate. Price isn’t too great but dahn saff prices aren’t too different. Good quality at least. Toast?

I enjoyed it, but not worth the £5 premium. You could easily get a plate just as nice for £10. I wanted to go to Bad Egg initially but they somehow baffling stop do not serve Full English between 11 am and 3 pm... and not too many places open in the area in the week between Christmas and NY.

15 quid. Fucking hell.

 

And no mushrooms, tomatoes, toast or fried bread ?!

 

And the bacon, for £15 I'd be wanting a decent amount more than the scabby rasher on that plate.

 

Repped for the effort (and the expense), but £15 is seriously taking the piss.

 

Edit : Pardon me but my eyes are still pissed from last night, having a mare.

I had this in "La Brisa" Matagorda in Lanzarote 21st December it cost  £6.50 euro, there was 2 of us and her had the same we got 2 toast each as well,  it was quite alright, well cooked, tasty enough plus the price was reasonable.  Drinks were extra though,

I came to work last week for three days. There were only a few of us on the floor, so we decided to give ourselves a treat and went to a nice place to have brunch.

 

Venue is called Millie’s Lounge at The Ned. The Ned is a hotel housed in what used to be a Bank, so the venue is spectacular.. with a ridiculously high ceiling. Millie’s lounge is one of a few restaurants they have inside the lobby area, and they specialise in British food. On the menu, for the English Breakfast, they offer Half at £10 or Full at eye-watering £15. I asked the waitress what the differentiates one to the other, she told me that with Full you got two eggs, two sausages and two servings of bacon. With you guys in mind, knowing the barrage of abuse I would receive from uploading a photo of a plate with one egg, one sausage, and one slice of bacon, I ordered the Full English.

 

This is it...

I have the say it was a very good meal. The sausages had very high meat content, bacon was crispy, but the black pudding... boy oh boy... it was the best I’ve ever tasted.

I really enjoyed that plate, but probably would not go again unless it’s a special occasion, due to the unreasonably high price point.

 

Putting the price tag aside - I make allowances for central London because it's a cunt's place - that's a very good effort.  The devil's orange winnets are kept out of harm's way in a separate dish - big tick.  The meat content is as it should be and the eggs look done to perfection.  No toast lets the meal down, obviously.

Toast as a side, hombre.

Looks a decent brekkie that Ardja. Eggs look bang on.

 

And £15 for a full English is on the expensive side, but loads of London places, and even hotels outside London, will charge around that. I’d rather shell out 15 snoots on a good quality breakfast thank £9 for a hungry horse/premier inn type of shite. Loads of breakfast places are shite. Not had a good one, and I mean a proper toe curler, away from home for a while.

 

I used to live in Leeds and liked a place called cafetière on Hyde Park Corner. It was boss. They did put pieces of fruit in all their cold drinks though, the heinous cunts. They also had bean bags and loads of pretentious student whoppers went in there, but I was happy sat with my daily mirror and I could pick my fruit out of my coke. And hardly ever did they say a word when I was popping a bean up my arse for each one I ate.
