    it's not fair to mark it down because not having Yorkshire tea you're not in Yorkshire. Take a tea bag with you and only mark the food and service. You can't have Yorkshire tea everywhere you go.

    That my friend is NOT a Welsh breakfast, a traditional Welsh breakfast has all the usual of the English but what makes it different is the fried cockles and laverbread (seaweed) which is also fried or can be eaten cold with the breakfast, come on McMaster! Youve let the team down you need to come down to South Wales and try a proper Welsh breakfast, I promise you the cockles and laverbread taste great fried my friend! 😮😊

    Eggs are steam basted. i.e. fried and covered until the white on the top has cooked. Some like to add a drop of water once the bottom has cooked but I would never advocate adding water to hot oil no matter how little oil there is.

    Your breakfast looked fine but, being born in South Wales, mostly brought up in England and living in Australia for nearly 50 years, my choices would be the following. Two fried eggs on fried bread, raw tomato (I will cut it up thank you) potato fritter, baked beans, bacon (well done) one sausage (very well done) and I would use that HP sauce and I would have to have hot English mustard for the bacon & sausage. One piece of crusty bread & butter on the side, with coffee please. Not for everyone no doubt, but that's what my Wife cooks for me and I love it! Enjoy!

    Im Celtic and Welsh. We're still about. Problem with North wales we a have a south walian government so it looks after South Wales first.
    We also have a problem of over tourism and second homes. If you went to Caernarfon, parts of the llyn peninsula, parts of Anglsey and the fringes of Snowdon you would more than likely hear no English.
    I'm from a snowdonian family and where we are from its now second homes and airBNB. Its been hollowed out and has turned into a safari park or theme park for rich people.
    I should also say the Welsh language you will hear in South Wales is very different to North walian Welsh.
    North walian is more grammatically correct with less English sounding words.

    Hi Lee… already looking for a lodge near Port Dinorwic “10/10” food in Wales is as good as in Scotland without the 10hr drive from Surrey her indoors will love this place, probably make a week of it. That breakfast “wow” then hire a boat always good for a laugh. They say “if you want to be happy for a day” “go fishing” well that breakfast, boat trip: me navigating, her indoors at the wheel… a complete recipe for disaster. Brilliant vlog Lee… a bit special.
