Wife loves those pancakes. Very good. I find Morrisons also very good. Does depend on the store. That breakfast certainly looks good for just £5.50. these are wetherspoons prices if not better. Love everything on the plate. Favourite bits are the mushrooms bacon , sausage and egg. I cannot get enough mushrooms. I love making a mushroom sauce for steak. We buy bullets of mushrooms. Always a box full on the kitchen. Think next time we will drive to JS at Ponty for the breakfast. We can do our shop as well instead of the regular Morrisons. Certainly good value. I think the best is Sainsbury and Morrison. Tesco was costlier for far less in the Merthyr Tesco . Thanks for review.

If you have a popeyes near you the best value for breakfast is "bacon roll" meal deal Its £1.99 and you get a Bacon roll which is UK breakfast bacon in a brioche roll with a choice of Tomato or Cajun Ketchup, a choice of a normal hash brown or a Cajun hash brown ( Hint go with the Cajun hash brown) and a choice of a drink. I think most drinks are included and i always go with black coffee but i think you can also have unlimited "soda". Its not advertised its only with the bacon roll (not with other rolls) and you may have a bit of a wait for it to be served. But its 1.99 which is less than a coffee in my book.

It pays to use branded products because you know the quality control is high, so the "bean bullets" are far less likely. Independent cafés/restaurants would struggle to compete with big chains, based on what you had for the price you paid, no one can grumble. Also, I am not a huge eater, so I could also pretend to be a child and have Scrambled Eggs On Toast for £1.25...Total bargain! 🤣 Greeno, thank you.

I've really enjoyed breakfast at Sainsburys and undoubtably the best hash browns I've ever had - like you, I can't get my head around them and not sure if they should grace an English Breakfast. I still prefer Morrisons ..... as per my critique when you visited same ..... ie, My Piggery rules !!!
@GreenoEats5 ай бұрын
The hash brown surprised me, it was tasty and I had no qualms about eating it all. For me this just tasted a little less greasy than the Morrisons one (although many would argue that's not an advantage when talking about a fry up!!)

Watcher Greeno, they're pancakes. Yes pre made and reheated. Nowt wrong with that. My personal choice is to add a good blob of butter to go with the sugar and lemon. Thought the bacon tadge undercooked, good looking standard catering sausages. The pretentious 🍄mushroom looked steamed 😂Ha, ha, hash browns, haha not for me. Half a tomato cooked well. Egg just on the cusp Unbuttered toast fine, no butter picked up when getting ready for to eat. Rookie error. Bucket of tea grand. In short for a non destination eaterie value for money. Interesting and informative. Cheers Allan&Family

My standing 'joke' is that an 'all day' breakfast will have been there, prior to serving, all day :) And there is no way that most, if not all, of it could have been cooked in the 5 mins you spent between order and delivery. So, maybe, you got in at the right time - 30 mins later, just before closing and your experience could have been different. But, yes, good VFM. I know your opinion about mushrooms. I am the same with tomato. If its on the plate it stays on the plate but I would have made room for the 'room :D

Alright looking breakfast there, but would of liked at least 1 more egg! And the price is decent, when I had this inthe Sainsbury's in Kent in Dartford I got 1 more egg for the same price though.....

Sunday lunches were once served regularly without Yorkshire puddings. Things change over the years. Hash browns now have a place on English breakfasts. If you don't agree with that then be sure to mention Yorkshire puddings not having a place on Sunday lunches. My idea of an English breakfast is for it to be served with fried bread so really I could moan about it and say it isn't an English breakfast, but I don't... I try to enjoy what's there without moaning.

That's fair, although I think one of the reasons I don't like them is because they are generally so disappointing. This one wasn't, and I ate it all. If it had a fried slice and black pudding then it would have been great!

Hi Greeno suggest you do the lottery as your luck must have been in on that visit. My wife and I visited it about a week ago, never again. Breakfast arrived and we had asked for the sausages to be well done, no chance almost raw. The egg was cold, the toast was only toasted on one side, the mushroom was watery and oily and the bacon was cold as well. Tomato was okay as was the hash brown but that was all. I'd give it 1 out of 10. The annoying thing was that we passed the Seahorse and they do an unlimited breakfast for £8.99. Guess where we're going next. 😖😖😖😣
