A "FULL IRISH BREAKFAST" at a HIGHLY RATED CAFE in LONDON!

[@francislaverty9262]

Agree with other commentators, as someone born and bred in Belfast I can say that an Irish breakfast without potato farls and soda bread is not an Irish breakfast. Not sure where the fried bread is either. If potato farls are not available it is traditional to have fried potato leftovers

[@GaryEats]

@@spurge83 If they wanted to be all UK about it then they could have done an Ulster Fry like my Irish gran used to make. She lived through some very tough times, but she knew how to make up for it when the times were good, and there's no better way to start your day than an Ulster Fry, especially if you went a bit heavy on the Guinness or Jameson's the night before...

[@simonbaker5972]

I reckon £8-9 would be a fair price. For £12 I'd expect an extra sausage and soda bread or fried slice. But think they need smaller plates. Unless they pile it up I think the portion will always seem small. I'm a beans on plate person. Especially with fried bread. It soaks up the bean juice! But in all honesty, for me, the nicest part is the mop up at the end! 😅 Love the vlog. I'd go for a 7

[@pippin1ful]

I was in a pub in Balinasloe one lunchtime. I was amused when a gentleman next to me received his meat and three veg, with a side order of extra potatoes. An Irish breakfast has to have potatoes in some form, other than those hash brown wedges. I sometimes grate potato and fry it in duck fat, with bacon, egg, and black pudding, including a big, fat mushroom sometimes.

We did visit the Regency Cafe for breakfast and we we suitably impressed by the portion size, quality & the service. Really loving your videos Gary - a really nice way to start my day.

In my view, what separates a full English breakfast from a full Irish Breakfast is the fried bread in an Irish full breakfast - usually potato bread (fadge), soda bread and/or Irish wheaten bread. Also most Irish full breakfasts usually include a potato patty or similar. What you had there Gary was a full English breakfast.

Yes. Have to agree, I love soda bread.

Great vlog yet again Gary, but firstly congratulations on hitting that 4k + subscribers, you and camera person are clearly doing it right. As for the Breakfast i think it was a fare size, it even had two eggs. Sadly the cost of goods these days and what with Gas and Electric prices being what they are, most eateries are having to be very careful with there portion sizes and costs. Personally i would give it an 8.5 especially as its a London based business, and i will be honest it was miles ahead of the Harrods breakfast. Chris.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so much. You've been counting them down and finally I've got there. Really appreciate it and I'll pass on the nice words to the cameraman.

A full Irish or Ulster Fry is usually a lot more substantial than this. Kidneys normally form a part, potato cakes and some hot soda bread. Could have done with being on a plate rather than a floor tile !! Sausage looked good. I prefer the beans separate unless I am having a fried slice or two when I like the beans on a corner of the slice. £12 isn't too bad bearing in mind the location. I think 7.5 is fair.

[@KatytheNightOwl]

I agree with you, regarding portion size but, tbh, it would have been the perfect size for myself, although a robust eater, who regards breakfast as the most important meal of the day, would probably prefer double that. The beans were generous, because they are probably the cheapest item on the menu, along with the bread. Lol I would probably give this a 7/10! My Irish Dad would have been outraged at the size of the white, & blood puddings - but then, he grew up on a farm where his Mum made her own, so generosity in size didn't cost much! Lol We kids loved it when he came back from a visit, as his suitcase would be full of the home grown & butchered puddings, ham, pork, etc

[@GaryEats]

I have to say this was a very early video and I was way too generous, it wasn’t the best and in hindsight I would market a lot lower

[@pippin1ful]

I would have given it a higher score had it mushrooms and skin on sliced fried potatoes. They would have bulked out the breakfast. An extra sausage a bonus! Good to see the interloper: hash browns non existant. Having a French name, a portion of chantarelles or pied du mouton should be tried, if they have them, as you dislike the champignons de Paris that every caff/restaurant serves. There are such a good range of different types of mushrooms available in Europe, with different flavours. Maybe worth a gastronomic tour, Gary. I loved my Irish tour back in I996. While taking Taffy the Staffy for his evening walk, we came upon a perfect fairy ring of mushrooms. It blew my mind. 6/10 pour moi! Not magic, I must add!

[@JohnJones-wo1bc]

Gary, I think you promised that you would have mushrooms on your next breakfast............!!!! Breakfast did look good to me.

[@GaryEats]

Oh John, I was hoping someone would have forgot. Okay, next one for sure... Thanks for watching!

[@johnpaproth5684]

I prefer non smoked Bacon so that was a winner for me, the portion size would have been good for me. I would have asked for no pudding as I prefer mushrooms instead so more mushrooms for me. Great review and the cost of that breakfast matches what we would pay here in Australia

[@GaryEats]

Thank you John 👍

[@keithmiles917]

Seems that it's already been mentioned but the thing that immediately struck me was the serving of the food onto what looks like a tray rather than a plate. It just looks wrong. Maybe THAT is why they're calling it "Irish" breakfast. If so, hopefully the Irish won't be offended by the subtle joke, especially if the perpetrator is not Irish! 🙂

[@GaryEats]

This was a very early review Keith and in fairness it was very disappointing

[@brewsterkits]

OMG it looks like a sea of breakfast! So spaced out! But it all looks good and the place looked nice, toast on the side plate, well done! I give it an 8.5

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for watching! A nice rating.

[@robcutliffe2801]

it did look nice but as you say a bit small.. Gary always enjoing your videos. A Dun Laoghaire guy in Swiss

[@GaryEats]

Thank you for watching from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Maggie's in Lewisham is a family-run cafe with an extensive menu. Their menu is as follows: 'Choose from: fried egg, poached egg, scrambled egg, sausage, veggie sausage, bacon, mushrooms, black pudding, liver, fried onions, chips, hash browns, bubble, beans, grilled tomatoes, tin tomatoes, ham, fried slice, toast, bread, bottomless tea or coffee'. There is a stepped price for the breakfast depending on how many items you order. I remember the breakfasts as extremely hearty and I'd eat until I was stuffed. When I paid I was often asked if i was recovering from illness as I'd ordered so little! The wonderful Maggie is no longer with us, but her son has kept up the standards of food and hospitality, I hear.

[@GaryEats]

Had it recommended many times. Thank you!

[@andywalker7582]

@@GaryEats I'm delighted to hear that. Easily reached from Lewisham rail/DLR. Trains from Charing Cross/London Bridge/Cannon Street. DLR connections with Jubilee Line, Ginger Line and many more!

[@letmelooktv]

Ah the irish fry up... It almost puts a lump on my throat to think about. Because it reminds me of Maggie of Maggie's cafe in Lewisham. She was wonderful. Always milling about making sure customers were happy. Carrying her big old earn of tea asking people if they wanted a top up. Her sons are running it now. Maggie was a legend

[@GaryEats]

Ah, that's a nice wholesome story - thank you for sharing. Might have to go down there soon, cheers mate.

[@letmelooktv]

@@GaryEats in my early 20's I lived in lewisham. It was like having a home from home mum. Maggie fussing over you and making sure you had all you needed."will ya have another cup of tea" she always used to say.

[@lifestapestry2968]

I saw the smirk when you said it's not the biggest sausage you've seen 😂

[@GaryEats]

Just a bit of fun 😂

[@avinashbhogun]

I need to stop watching your videos before bedtime 😂 🥱

[@GaryEats]

My apologies once again

[@mattmorris6740]

Quality was a clear 10/10...but one sausage!?!? Quantity was a huge let down, nice to see White Pudding... genuinely one of the best things that humans have made!

[@GaryEats]

Totally agree, love white pudding as well.

[@jamesmorgan9474]

Skimpy porshuns for sarf lunnen geezer!😮

[@GaryEats]

Lol indeed.

[@mrwan7010]

I thought you gave it a fair score. Any chance of reviewing the Marks and Spencers breakfast ?

[@GaryEats]

I can do Marks and Spencers soon for sure!

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

Another sausage and bacon rasher and the other half of the tomato would make it good value. Plus I don't expect to pay £1.10 for a cup of tea when paying £12 for a breakfast.

[@GaryEats]

Actually agree with that. Fair comment and point. Thanks for watching!

[@lizg5574]

That took me back to 1990! We were sent to Ireland for work, crossing from Fishguard to Rosslare on the 2am ferry, Jan 1st. Due to an error in booking, the promised motel for a few hours, to eat and rest, was closed, as were all restaurants after the last motorway cafe. So we'd nothing to eat or drink since leaving home early that afternoon. Our trip was thankfully smooth, so once we disembarked we drove about 20 minutes out of Rosslare and found a small transport cafe open. (it was just after 7am) We had the Irish breakfast and some steaming hot tea. It was so needed and we enjoyed it so much that, on our way home a few months later, we stopped and had the same meal on the way back to catch our ferry! A lovely memory! Thank you, Gary!

[@GaryEats]

You are more than welcome Liz.
