Eating a FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST in a BEAUTIFUL TOWN in the COTSWOLDS!

Today, I paid a visit to Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds. I haven't been to the Cotswolds in ages and as I was driving through, I thought it would be a good time to get something to eat at the Old Mill Cafe and Bistro and go for a full English breakfast. How did it compare to the ones that I've had in London?

[@theplatitudefromouterspace1686]

In my opinion, outside of the egg, serving 1 of any ingredient on a "Full" breakfast is just penny pinching. The quality would have to be seriously next level to excuse it.

[@GaryEats]

I don't disagree with you there. In that regard, pretty underwhelming.

[@JimmyBoogaloo]

2 sausage, 2 bacon, one egg - but also a source of potato is required. Hash browns, bubble, rosti or chips.

My thoughts exactly Danny. Stunning part of the world but it's a shame that the breakfast didn't marry up to expectations. Enjoy your weekend!

[@chrisryanst]

Personally, I think the cafe is taking a massive advantage of its location as most of their trade is probably from foreign visitors. I'd score it a 4, and that's before you even took a bite and still stand by it after watching 😅

[@GaryEats]

Fair enough Chris. You're not wrong, the portion was small and I've had better. In hindsight, would probably knock off a point or so!

[@LEE_MASON_]

My main bugbear with many modern breakfasts is the common addition of the hash brown. They're an absolute travesty perpetuated by people too lazy to do bubble. The Americanisation of British culture is getting worse, and the hash brown is an appalling example of that. A hash brown should automatically disqualify a breakfast from being a full English. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💪

I like hash browns but I do think they're not part of a full English as well. Enjoy your weekend!

[@davidcoleman5246]

Hi Gary, The Old Mill seems to be run of the mill, not the best, but not the worst. The overall serving seemed to be on the small side, so using smaller plates might be the trick here . Beans looked runny, the sausage didn't do itself any favours looks-wise, but looks can be deceiving, so a bonus. Thought the tea looked a bit transparent when you began to pour, but that redeemed itself too. Nice part of the world, great review as always.

[@GaryEats]

Completely spot on David. Agree with what you've put, have a top weekend mate.

The breakfast looked a bit small for the price but cooked ok. I thought the beans looked the cheap type. Tea ok x2 so price ok. I thought the breakfasts you have had in London were far better. Anyway interesting getting around the country samplings the delights and taking us along

Hi there Gary. Another quality video. My mum was a chef, and ,she taught myself and my brother how to cook from a young age. All of my family are from the North East, and the family was very traditional. Anyway, my favourite meal I cook for myself and my partner Sandra, is liver ,bacon, fresh vine toms into a large Yorkshire pud. I also put a small amount of Marmite into the gravy. Obviously, that's personal preference. 😂

[@AllanNeaves-qn3zr]

Wow Gary,that chip in the bean bowl 😢😢 no excuse!! The phrase "full English " should in my mind be like the "Ark" two by two ✌ Eating with the eye 👁‍🗨 leaves me shaking my head.

[@paulconnors2078]

Gary, here in the USA, at least where I live, it's very difficult to find British Back Bacon. Another thing I've noticed and like about your videos (as well as some other British YTers) is that the restaurants and cafes you review all seem to do an outstanding job of getting the poached eggs perfectly done. (I wish I could say the same about my own 🙂). Here in the northeastern US, when one asks for potatoes w/breakfast, they are generally fried but not deep fried like those in your videos. I also have never been able to find Cumberland sausages like those you show. Another hunger inducing chapter! Well done, as always. Thank you.

[@GaryEats]

lol they do seems to poach the eggs well Paul 👌

Evening Gary👍cracking location, seemed like a fair price but we're all different and quirky in our own way, I love mushrooms on a breakfast but hate black pudding, I can't stand beans in a pot, especially a chipped one(a bit weird maybe) 🤣I thought the sausage was overdone but you ate it you should know, that egg looked tiny but well cooked so all in all apart from watery catering tin beans it wasn't bad. Great review and the weather held up for you as well, cheers mate ✌️🍻

Thank you as always Martin. The sausage looked very overdone and even I thought it at first but looks were infact deceiving. Thanks mate - Enjoy your weekend!

[@stevekirkby6570]

Small but quality ingredients by the look of it. Loving the look of the sausage...and black pudding for the win; looks like they have a good supplier. Beans are a meh for me, unless a feature :) Nice to see some decent toast and butter. Buttie time! I think two eggs would have been sweet, but the fact that it had good colur makes up. Not bad value, but not great either. I suppose you take your choice on quality or quantity. I agree on a 7.5 :) Just from the visuals and your comments. Nice one Gary.

[@peternelson6142]

Very good honest review Gary. If you venture into Wiltshire for full English and are in Calne then I would highly recommend "Infusions". It's a very unique small cafe. Run by a local family. Closed on Sunday and Monday

[@stephaniewhite9526]

I really felt you were very accurate in the 7.5 and so honest as always too. It was above average (the sausage was great) but not substantial enough in terms of portion size. However if they could get a new beans supplier and give their customers two sausages it could be one to remember. As always a great review.

[@GaryEats]

Really appreciate that Stephanie, you're always too kind. I agree with everything you've said. Enjoy your weekend!

Great Clip as always Gary, to which im going to score this one in three parts today if i may. Location absolutely amazing and very pretty, that's a 10. Service, and eatery a definite 10. As for the food i will stick with you at 7-1/2 for that one as when you make an effort to put a good quality sausage like pork and leek on the menu, then deep fry it, i think that's a shame. Keep them coming my friend. Chris.

Glad to see you are back on the breakfast trail. Love me a fry up !😂 £8.95 is a decent price considering the location but not a big enough portion. Tea looked nice. I think that the black pudding is overcooked , I like it soft in the middle retaining a bit of the red colour. Sausage looked lovely but the beans don't look like Heinz or Branston. All could have been improved with a fried slice. For me it's a 7 out of 10. Another fair review and a worthy addition to this series.

[@DrFrankLondon]

That plate was quite empty, mate! Even though all the produce were very high quality, I would have expected a bit more. It's not enough to fill up a mouse with a hangover. On a bit more serious note, Gary, it's not always about quantity but quality. And in Chipping Norton you will find very high quality produce, it's locally sourced and usually done to perfection. The problem is that since Jeremy Clarkson started farming, it's almost impossible to find a place to park or eat when his farm shop or outdoors restaurant are open. It's a beautiful place and the produce is high quality! Another fantastic review, mate! Please keep up the fabulous work you and the cameraman/ camerawoman is doing. We'll stay in touch, mate! 👌❤️

It was cheap and well cooked by yours truly sometimes my partner and friend but not very often as she didn't really like doing a lot! Your plate looked a bit empty but egg looked just right as I like it. Bacon and sausage looked good and tomato and seperate beans which is a must. Hate black pudding and tinned tomatoes but you had fresh which is great. I didn't use to do black pudding but I did mushroom which I know is not your thing.

I think the Full English Breakfast should be just that. This one was pretty small for a full one. The sausage looked very tasty, but it doesn't compare to those London cafe plates although of course most times mushrooms are added.

Haha, I think the lack of beans on the plate and the toast made it look worse than it was. I think you're right mate.

[@mjg6966]

They should serve it on Wendy house plates

[@coffeeguy6673]

Ronnie Barker owned an antique shop in Chipping Norton I believe. Not sure whereabouts. Been to "chippy" a few times when I was stationed at nearby RAF Brize Norton.

[@GaryEats]

Great to hear. Thanks for watching!

[@Islandicus]

7.5 I knew it! Chipped crockery a definite let down. Thanks for the video!

[@GaryEats]

Your more than welcome, it didn’t help 👍

[@johnbell8729]

Enjoy your breakfast mate i lived in mortan in marsh you should visit x

[@GaryEats]

Sounds great John!

[@ns6789]

State of that breakfast. Half plate is empty, catering beans, burnt tomatoes, anaemic bacon, one end sausage burnt, mushrooms? Cotswolds AONB they said, cha!

[@GaryEats]

Fair comment. I've had much better as well.

[@Deadman-rt8dq]

Sorry Gary, but I would of returned that pot of beans for an un-chipped one, it could of been chipped when putting your beans in, and chipped teeth cost a lot to repair! If I was hungry, I would of been dissapointed with the meal you got, why do these places only give half a tomato? I like breakfasts in twos, so 2 sausages and two eggs, would of been value for money then, and of course your enemy the mushroom/s. Would prefer some fried bread and hash browns rather than toast, but that's me! The Cotswold's is a lovely place to visit, but can't say I would go to that particular establishment! What you said at the end of the vid about other items on the menu being tried, that might change my mind! Another class vid and nearly 6000 already, keep it up sir!

[@GaryEats]

No problem Deadman and I do not disagree with you at all. The Cotswolds is lovely but I think this particular breakfast could have been better. So appreciated, thanks mate.

[@Deadman-rt8dq]

Something I meant to mention that I've never seen before and thought was really inventive! When you buttered the toast, you pushed the knife into the slice to clean the knife of butter, the times I've put the buttered knife down on the side of the plate to avoid the butter going everywhere, because it never all goes on the toast or bread, and then drops on the floor. Why I've never thought of doing what you did, beggars belief, lol! Inspired sir!🙃

[@GaryEats]

Haha, thanks Deadman. It's a little trick I picked up a while ago and only a few of you have noticed/commented on it but it's really helpful!

[@annecunnings7886]

Chipping Norton lived up to it's name with the chipped beans pot! Nasty. The food aside from the beans looked good. Best regards from Tassie.

[@GaryEats]

Haha. Good one Anne. Thank you!

[@iancrawley4009]

I think this tasted better than it looked because on first sight didn't look great. Chipped crockery isn't great but hey ho. Not a fan of pork and leek on a breakfast but price wise pretty reasonable. Certainly a 7/10. Another top upload

[@GaryEats]

Don't disagree with you. Presentation not so great but taste was decent. I think they used good produce from the local farms. Thanks Ian, enjoy your weekend!

[@jordanweekes9700]

It's got a chip in the beans cause it's Chipping Norton of course 😉

[@GaryEats]

Lol!!

[@reetpateet8656]

Give me quality than quantity any day! We live in a village not far from ‘Chippy’ and tried a lunch here - it was excellent!

[@GaryEats]

Great to hear!

[@Pots57]

Nice food nice video sticky toffee pudding worth the entrance fee for you Gary so all good

[@GaryEats]

Absolutely. Thank you!

[@dentydent6423]

Gary,you could have ordered the bigger breakfast. I thought the price was okay from the menu. Great video as always

[@GaryEats]

Yes, there was a bigger option! Thank you very much.

[@georgebeament4740]

Hi Gary, love the videos and keep them coming! The white bits in black pudding are barely! The fat is pretty much invisible and blended in.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you George.

[@BIGBUN34]

Hi Gary,7/10 soup thin would it have hurt them to give you a few bits of bread and a bit more treacle sauce if all seemed to be a bit chefy a bit unloved.Keep it up,you are doing a great service to many people who are a bit wary of strange places Allan

[@GaryEats]

Agreed Allan

[@tonysmall3863]

Another good review. One of my bugbears is when sausages are just thrown in a deep fat fryer. It looked more like a stubbed out cigar than a sausage. As others have said a very small looking meal. No excuse for cheap beans.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Tony!

[@DerrickWhittle-mm7jz]

Another great vid small but cheap for a tourist town. Never heard BP termed as creamy, like the marbaling myself.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks mate. I feel it tastes nutty/creamy, only way I can really describe it!

[@46joe]

Hi Gary , I'm just a little way from Chipping Norton (In Banbury) a nice part of the country, as for the breakfast I think it looks a bit sad and I would be quite disappointed if that was served to me , especially at that price. But I am comparing it to the fry ups I do at home and I do go over the top a bit......

[@GaryEats]

Haha no problem Joe. Any nice recommendations in Banbury? Cheers mate.

[@46joe]

There is a Miller and Carter steak house just as you come into Banbury at the motorway junction or maybe Jaypur Indian, up Parsons Street ,would be great if you did a review in Banbury..@@GaryEats

[@GaryEats]

I will try my best. Cheers mate!

[@allandavies9488]

I have only just seen this review. There was enough on the plate for me and it was decent quality(perhaps for the beans). I do like to spread butter on toast myself, and like plenty on, but some places give you rock hard packs of butter you cannot spread.

[@GaryEats]

Very good observation Allan

[@johnjanland4788]

Would be fascinated to know what you think of the Bull in Charlbury, just down the road from Chippy Thanks, John Land

[@GaryEats]

I’ll put it on the list John thank you

[@norcatch]

One of my favorite facts about wartime food is that baked beans was deemed so important to moral it was kept off rationing. One thing is the beans, but that did mean importing tomatoes or their byproduct, so, yeah.

[@GaryEats]

Indeed.

[@mikemulrooney4824]

Good vid

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Mike.

[@TelThePower]

Gary, I can't say i was over impressed with the food, partly because of my personal breakfast choices ive mentioned.. chipped pots is in excusable as well... i wasn't keen on the bacon either with all the gristle and fat, & as for quantity? Looked like a children's breakfast... 😂 I probably would have had a different breakfast, & you did say what others had ordered looked better... so you're score was probably fair mate, because of the restaurant, service & what you saw while there 👍 Enjoyed the vlog as always mate! Cheers 🍻

[@GaryEats]

No problem Tel, I don't disagree with your assessment at all. I did notice the bacon's fat but I don't mind it however I know it's not to others tastes! Thank you mate, glad you enjoyed!

[@TelThePower]

@@GaryEats Btw the way Gary I now subscribe to your channel mate 👍 Just yourself and 2 others... I really enjoy your content! & I can see the channel growing 👍🙏

[@GaryEats]

Wow excellent stuff mate. Cheers, glad myself and the other two are high in your estimations!@@TelThePower

[@fpwrankin]

Another good review as usual. What a shame they did not serve you West Country butter.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you! I do like some nice Irish butter though!

[@fpwrankin]

Washed down with some good Irish stout!@@GaryEats

[@GaryEats]

Perfect!

[@ronmccullock1407]

Looks a nice breakfast at a fair price

[@GaryEats]

Fair play Ron. Enjoy your weekend!
