  • The full english breakfast is a British classic along with fish & chips, afternoon tea and roast dinner. It usually contains sausages, bacon, eggs, baked beans, tomato, hash brown, black pudding and toast.
    In this video I try out a cheap breakfast from Wetherspoon's and an expensive breakfast from Dakota to find out what the difference is. Is it the quality of the ingredients, the taste or the portion size? I find out in this video.

    Expensive doesn't always mean quality, plenty of places trying to make a larger profit will charge as much as they can and still use cheap produce, places like that are never busy, then u have places that use quality produce and charge a cheap price, they are only making a small profit but they are always busy, if u always have customers, then in the long run u will be the one that makes the largest profit

    On the spoons breakfast I loved the blue plate best. The egg was perfect, the sausage looked ok, can't comment on the taste. It looked nice bacon but I like mine fried. I don't mind cheap beans on a dry up. I'm not keen on hash browns. I don't think the cheap one looked to bad. On the expensive one the egg looked slightly undercooked, I didn't like the bacon at all, I like lean bacon. The sourdough bread looked lovely. I think I would go with the spoons one

      Wetherspoon beans are Heinz, but they're the low sugar ones, as I guess they also use them on the kid's meals. I don't actually really rate Heinz beans to be honest but it's interesting that you picked up on how bland they are. The poached eggs at Wetherspoon are actually bought pre poached and they just quickly drop them in water for a few seconds. This means that if they're out of poached eggs they still offer fried eggs on other dishes 😂
      The sausages are also ready cooked and are pinged in the microwave. Not sure about the bacon but I *think* it's also cooked and they just sear it on the burger griddle, which does actually give it a nice smoky flavour.
      I prefer smaller mushrooms on a breakfast. Portabello are tough and leathery to me, and leave an unappealing black liquid on your plate. I don't recall ever seeing portabello on breakfasts when I was a kid, but I guess some places just think it's easier to sear one big mushroom. Maybe it's cheaper too.

    The cheap one did not look that bad, ok has brown needed half the fry time. Honestly I would go the cheaper because I don't think the other was worth 3 times the cheaper and would have done me, I like quality but over priced makes me mad I pay more for good stuff but in reason. Thx for your reviews love watch them.

    Out of the two it would have to have been the more expensive but there is a third alternative mate.....if you're mobile then roadside cafés or greasy spoons as they used to be called will put you a Full English together for half the price of that hotel and sure you'd enjoy it even more 👍

      I would say if you were going to spend £18 you can buy a lot of food from the supermarket and have breakfast for the whole family or for several days for just 1 person.
      if you really price the items on the plate you find even with using better items you will come no were near what you are being robbed. for spending £18.
      a nice place you expect it to be good so you are already in the mindset that it will be better. but many of the items could have been bought from the same place as wetherspoons items

    it was not hard to know it was Wetherspoons due to the plates;
    the has not the same as the breakfasts i have had normally lighter colour.
    the only better breakfast price would be an unlimited one. which would give you a better value.
    the expensive one is really 9 item for the price. £18 so £2 an item vs 75p at wetherspoons.
    you are not getting a bigger breakfast it will not fill you more and for the cost you can almost get 2 people unlimited breakfasts at Brewers fayre for that much money

    I almost feel bad for liking the look of the hotel one. This probably sounds weird but while the expensive one seems great and I'm sure is of amazing quality just the idea of a posh fry up seems off to me? Feels like you're meant to have those somewhere local or in a more down to earth kinda place.
    It's like a chippy tea. I'm sure there's Michelin star restaurants making fried cod and chips but it just doesn't feel right haha.
    At the same time though the sausage and beans at the hotel one looked so good.
    Really the reason to go to the hotel though isn't even for food quality. More hygiene and such especially in these times.

    So you ordered food from 2 establishments. Proceeded to eat said food from both places. You ate the food and enjoyed them to a point. Ate the bacon, sausage, egg, beans also. You weren't sure whether the beans from the first establishment were heinz. Difficult to decide I'm sure, I mean I had no idea if they were heinz or not! Must have been a difficult decision. You also had a fork on which you placed different parts of the breakfasts onto the fork( thankfully provided to you otherwise it would have been awkward to eat, so good job there) and the combination of different food stuffs must have thrown you into a frenzy! I mean, how do you decide which breakfast is best! Each fork full must have been a real conundrum for the palate and mind! The bacon seemed to be cooked relatively well on both, sausages also looked similar to me, eggs looked similarly cooked on both plates, beans looked like they had been heated up to roughly the same temperature. I'm not sure which one I would have said was best because they both looked quite good and well cooked. Bye.
