Cambridge full English breakfast?

[srw]

Find a caff. Doesn't matter which one - full English requires almost no skill other than an ability not to buy completely rubbish sausages.

Personally I'd stay in my hotel's restaurant.

Not easy to turn out a full English in which each ingredient is correctly cooked and everything is moist but not swimming in grease.

For a proper breakfast you want to ignore the views of anyone who suggests anywhere that's "nice" or gets all "middle class" when someone suggests 'Spoons

Yes.
I worked with a guy who was adamant that a proper full English could only be made in a proper greasy spoon cafe, where the tables had no coverings, and the chef was a at middle aged guy with grease all down his pinny and a fag burning in his hand while he was cooking your eggs in a pan with an inch of oil/lard mix in it.

I guess all the proper ones are gone now then..

Is Ivy any good ?

 

[MontyVeda]

the sign of a good full English is one that Alan Partridge would approve of... the sausage should form a natural barrage between the beans and the egg, and the egg should be on the bread.

Not at any I have been in too lately.

We ended up at a place called Honest near the Market and it was good.

Do you go into the kitchen then?

No, but I think most of the chefs are only 18.

Do they actually cook anything at Wetherspoons? Food arrives too quickly to have been anything other than heated up, it seems.

All the "difficult" stuff is microwaved. Obviously things like chips, eggs etc are cooked on site. Steaks are cooked on site

The brekkie is £3.25 unlimited coffee £1.15 come on be real. Good value for money it certainly is.

 

[Crackle]

I've only had one Wetherspoons breakfast and one coffee and that's all I intend to have.

I've never had a Spoons brekkie but I am sensible enough to not dismiss it as an option

Their Eggs Benedict isn't that good. However, if you're in a Spoons after a night ride, their cheap beer at 9am slips down a treat.

Enjoy.
