  • A full English breakfast is the ULTIMATE weekend treat. Greasy, hearty, substantial. However we're not quite sure that a FISHY full English, a STEAK full English and an ITALIAN full English quite fits the brief...but when have we ever been conventional?
    Here are the places we headed to and don't forget to tell us your fave places for a full English in the comments!...

    Went to visit E. Pellici's on a trip to London because of this video and LOVED it. Great breakfast, brilliant atmosphere, the staff were super welcoming. And we did get some bread pudding to go - amazing! I will be going back every single time I'm in London for as long as it's open.

    Thing is, for me I agree that the mushrooms and tomatoes are the most important parts of a Full English, but not for the reasons you'd think. It's easy for a restaurant or "greasy spoon" to get somebody to enjoy bacon, sausage, egg and fried bread, but to get someone to enjoy mushrooms and tomatoes as part of the same dish is a different ball game altogether. if a place can do the basics well, but make the mushrooms and tomatoes stand out, then they'll always have my custom.

Walked in and immediately put at ease. Was served so much food I couldn’t possibly finish. They whisked my plate away and packed me a lunch to take with me sightseeing.... the balance of my breakkie in buttered bread and pudding AND tea to go... no additional cost!
    I’m going back to London for 2 weeks tomorrow and this time staying in Kensington... trying to work out getting back to Pellicis without breaking the bank in transport fees.

    A traditional full English breakfast should consist of Sausages, Bacon, Eggs, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, bread pudding, fried bread, a side order of 2 slices of bread with butter, cup of tea or coffee. Anyone in the UK selling that for more than a fiver (£5) is ripping you off because all the ingredients are bought in bulk which means each individual ingredient is a couple of pence. The reason I know this is because my father started out as a chef in his younger years working in hotel kitchens. My aunt was also a chef who had her own B&B on the Isle of Sky. One of my cousins married a chef who worked in hotel kitchens in Essex and I currently have a nephew who works as a chef in the South East, has worked in hotels, pubs and cafes, so yes I have a very good idea of how much food items cost in the trade.
    What tends to put the prices up is when food establishments add different ingredients to the breakfast, ingredients one would not associate with a full English breakfast. Gammon is a popular choice as an alternative to bacon but one thing that should never ever be done to a full English breakfast is too add any fish related ingredient.

    Minor criticism. More distance between the eggs and the beans. I may want to mix them but I’d like that to be my decision. Use a sausage as a breakwater.

    Hawksmoore looks like a great place to go on a brunch date with and like Jamie said, if considering the ambiance, amount and quality of food that you get, pricing isn't bad at all.
    Piggy's Cafe - beautifully cooked scallops for that price? Absolute bargain. It's definitely a spot that all seafood lovers should visit.
    E Pellici is so charming and I really want to go just so I can meet everyone - especially you, Iris! The food looks fantastic and is so affordable. Out of the three, this is the spot I'd be most keen on visiting.

      I'll gladly pay a bit over the odds for a good meal. It all depends on the quality of the ingredients and how well they're cooked. That said, Hawksmoor prices were WAY more than I'd usually pay, but to be fair the food did look amazing and the portions were huge. I'd like to give it a go to see if the prices are worth it. And I'd probably ask for a doggy bag (or three) and get several more meals out of it once I got the food home.

I have 6 Richmond sausages cooked in the oven for about 20 minutes, 6 rashers of streaky bacon cooked in the wok with olive oil and salt until they are totally crispy but not burnt. I heat a tin of tomatoes with salt, pepper, and occasionally some basil. Once the bacon is draining on kitchen paper, i cook the fried bread in the bacon fat, about 30 seconds each side, then add salt to it. That's my version.😋
