Not my Idea of proper fry up . But Harvey Nichs this time. Selfridge's too pretentious for my liking. Sautéed potatoes and oregano on uncooked tomatoe.. plus very weird cooked bacon.. plus the sausages looked very wrong...😅😅😅
@@tancreddehauteville764 😂😂😂 You sound so pretentious mate. And pretentiousness falls in the category of paying for a name and not the real Mckoy. Don't be fooled by the premises... The simple and original honest ingredients the better... Fyi, I am a chef.... 😉😉😉
You can say what you like about greasy spoon cafes, but I would rather pay under a tenner for a full English breakfast than pay £17 for a sparse breakfast where your only paying for the the name of the high end outlet
And I prefer restaurants with a good hygiene standard. Not wondering if I'm going to spend the next few days on the loo, or throwing up and wishing I was dead. Not wondering if there is fag-ash in the eggs, if the "chef" (haha) has been scratching his arse while cooking, or if the bacon went out of date in March. Each to their own.
Selfridges looks way superior in every respect not least cost performance. Actually Selfridges and John Lewis are the two department stores I may be prepared to visit, as both have proven to be of good value for money at all times.
They both looked great breakfasts and from your review. Think only I would answer as a full English is a home made treat 2/3 times a month however when staying anywhere always have them. So if I was staying near these great establishments over a couple days. Like you I'd try both. With Selfridge's I did find the sausages odd as if the chef cut the ends off for his own breakfast. The Harvey Nicks sausage looked preferable from your description. However top looking breakfasts in very smart surroundings
Making me hungry chief. Circa 10.57. Fried potatoes. Nuff said. I'm 64 now, always lived in Glasgow Scotland. My mum cooking the Sunday Fry-Up would add sliced leftover tatties to the sausage and bacon grease until crispy outside and like mash inside. An exceedingly rare treat as.... leftover potatoes in Scotland! Naw. Thanks for the content.
Definitely Selfridges for me! Those potatoes looked amazing, and the eggs cooked to perfection. I thought Harvey Nichols was a poor show for the price.
May I add, unlike many reaction/review videos on UA-cam, you didn't pad it out with rubbish. You show exactly "what it says on the tin", which I love. Sincere thanks.
2 superb plates here. However, my only pet peve is a little too much bean wet in both. I feel this is a common issue when serving beans in a side pot. To fill the pot, they focus on the bean wet rather than the bean itself to make it cost efficient, which at £14 is mildly unfair. I am for using these pots all the same as it should be your choice if you want the bean wet to touch the sausage.
hey! Nice channel, no full english breakfasts here in Italy but i'll take good note of your advice when i get over there! I'd love to have a rich and tasty plate like those! Keep up the good work!
I really like your videos and I'm from the USA. One thing watching them makes me realize is that I wish I could get my fried eggs to look like the ones you get at the various places you visit. The same applies to the poached eggs - mine don't come out looking like the best ones in your videos.
I've never had black pudding, but it looks tasty. My dad used to like it, but he grew up in Mexico. I live in the US and I've never seen it in stores. What does it taste like? BTW, I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for posting!
The Selfridges one might be a perfectly nice meal, but it looks too far away from a full fried breakfast to me. I want a cooked breakfast to be familiar as well as good
I think Harvey Nicholls looked the best. I know it was expensive but it looked way classier. I was put off the Selfridges one by the sausage. I've used canneloni beans before in stews.
This is the first vid the tube of u has shown me of yours. While the Harvey Nichols bacon avoided the white gunk oozing out of it like the Selfridges muck, I think I'd prefer the latter, just for the feel of getting more novelty and more scran. Those potatoes looked great, and the unevenly cooked HN sausage wasn't brilliant.
We do pretty good English breakfasts in Australia. I’d choose the first of these. The bacon and the toast looked really yum, though I’d rather fried bread.
Hi you seem to have had a lot of Full englishs over the last couple of months. Back in the day there wasn't a lot of difference in the quality at the same price points but there was a big difference between the different price pints. I mean cheap ones were cheap and expensive ones were expensive. Recently i think the cheaper ones are more expensive and the more expensive ones are cheaper so that they sell. You seemed to like the Selfridges Breakfast ( and it looked nice) which was only slightly more expensive than ms which was only slightly more expensive than say morrisons. So would you say that Selfridges was better value than morrisons? I used have breakfast at whetherspoons and used to go to Mcd's for a burger. I have worked out that whetherspons are now not worth going to, and have upgrade mcd's for 5 guys.
I think my overall best value breakfast in terms of price and quality of ingredients is M&S, Its not really cheap and not really expensive either but the quality of the ingredients was great and it tasted really nice too!
For £14 I thought the Harvey Nicks looks stingy. Drop the black pudding (bit of a waste as you either hate or like it). Should have been 2 eggs. And why does no where in the U.K. do breakfast hash or potatoes (fried diced potatoes). Which I’ve had plenty of times. Hate hash browns that look as if made in a factory. Cheap. Selfridges looked much nice and my style.
Both Brekkies look pretty decent& i do like the Tea Pot( it adds a nice touch) but man i'm a big Yorkshire Gold or Irish Tea Punter so it has to be Gold& Brown and strong( they both looked way to weak& watery for me)..But that an side,both Breakfasts were impressive!
Selfridges for me. BTW the thing you spread the butter on the toast with is called a knife. You can use them to cut the sausages, tomatoes etc into bite size pieces I stead of stabbing them with a fork and lifting them up to gnaw on. Definitely not etiquette. It really annoyed me.
Harvey nickles wow ,nevet known this place excised it is amazing, better food service than harrods . 🇦🇺😀 harvey nickels did properly plated breakfast. Selfridges is impressive just as much .the set up was on point . Breakfast there looks nicely done , Balanced plate not to disappoint. Both i love ,but selfridges wins .🇦🇺😉💖👍
Oh my Lord... If M&S V Waitrose is Arsenal V Man City well Harvey Nic's V Selfridges is the Champions League Final... Well one would assume... but maybe M&S could mix it with them... I love this channel 🦍💪🏾🍳🥓🥳
The absolute best thing in an English Breakfast is when u get 2 slices toast and uncooked tomato ...then u make a toast and tomato sandwich with good butter salt and pepper.
Harvey Nichols needed two bits of toast, one for the egg and one for the beans. I need toast with those things. I am a massive black pudding fan. Sefridges looked better but I would have liked black pudding. Happy with two toast and fried potatoes, that was good.
Harvey Nicholls for me if price point isn't included in the overall choice making. I felt the Selfridges one looked a bit flame shy (but if thats how their customer base enjoys it which matters).
breakfast perfection would be, oatmeal and frozen berries with creamy soy milk and protein powder, bacon crispy, beans, sourdough bread and butter, lots of mushrooms, tomato, and seared scallions or leeks, maybe a crisp hash browns patty.
It is not the shop. It is the quality of the Chef in the shop. Just remove all the burnt bits please. See how much is left, then decide. Agree Selfridges wins as less burnt bits and more variety
Both looked nice but who can afford to pay over £10 for a breakfast, give me a large Witherspoon's brekkie any day of the week. Comment of the video, the black pudding... Loved the colour!!! Not expecting the blackness then? 😂😂😂
The traditional English breakfast has never and should not ever have baked beans on it. And without Black pudding ( bury ) is again not an English breakfast. Toast v Bread is up for debate however you cannot make a butty without a FULL slice of Bread ( white warburtons ). And for anyone on the European continent if I ever see chips on my breakfast I am going to invade. You only have fried potatoes if you have them left over from the night before. AND while I’m at it where is the FRIED BREAD ???? 😂. Great video ❤
It a shame nobody seems to do fried bread anymore. Seems hash browns have replaced fried bread. Hash browns, in my opinion have no place on an English breakfast. Only potato dish the should be on an EB is bubble and squeak.
Which breakfast did you prefer?
Locations in description 😀
Not my Idea of proper fry up . But Harvey Nichs this time. Selfridge's too pretentious for my liking. Sautéed potatoes and oregano on uncooked tomatoe.. plus very weird cooked bacon.. plus the sausages looked very wrong...😅😅😅
Selfridges wins easily for me. You get a massive breakfast for the money.

Its a good value breakfast
Great review, thanks for sharing. I love black pudding so I think Harvey Nics would have edged it for me.
The black pudding was great at Harvey Nichols!
Absolutely loved this one. Selfridges breakfast looked much better (but not the sausage)and you got 2 eggs
I agree! The sausages were a bit unusual 🤔
It's the taste that matters.

The quality of the ingredients was really good at Harvey Nichols but it was a bit expensive
They were both very nice , yes selfridges for me!🤩👏
It just took it for me but they were both very nice!
Top reviews. No nonsense. Nice, sharp commentary.
Thanks 😀
May I add, unlike many reaction/review videos on UA-cam, you didn't pad it out with rubbish. You show exactly "what it says on the tin", which I love. Sincere thanks.
Really enjoying these vlogs! Keep them coming
Thanks 😀 will do!
Id go for the Harvey Nic;s breakie I liked it had black pudding and the ingredients look good quality. Wouldnt say no to the Selfridge's one though.
The black pudding at Harvey Nichols was really delicious, probably the best i've had 😋
Both breakfasts look delicious 😋
They were both very delicious! 😋
Enjoyed the video like the way the videos are being presented well done love a fry up for me it’s Selfridges then again i like a lot of food.
Thanks 😀 I like a lot of food too lol
Selfridges looked the best for me. I'm from Manchester so will have to give it a try
Its well worth it in a pretty nice cafe too
Both looked like excellent pates of food. I found the Selfridges one very interesting and must try that out!
Its definitely worth a try!
Very nice! I enjoy listening to your commentary. I’ve listened to several and your insight and comments are quite nice
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!
yet another excellent review, thank you.
They both look great, I've never considered either but will try both now.
They're definitely worth a try

I would not refer to what Selfridges served up as 'toast' but the rest looked really good.
Its well worth a try 😀 what would you refer to the Selfridges toast as?
@@everydayimeating3407 Toast is brown. Not white. That toast looked as if it had been in a toaster for 30 seconds.
That looks like something I can make at home for £3 per head (3 people)
Can I come round to try review it? 😀
hey! Nice channel, no full english breakfasts here in Italy but i'll take good note of your advice when i get over there! I'd love to have a rich and tasty plate like those! Keep up the good work!
Another absolute banger mate cant wait for the £50 challenges too return 😊
Thanks 😀 Me too, they're pretty fun to do

Selfridges one ,better value 👌🏿 👏🏿
You definitely get more for your money!

Selfridges breakfast looked so nice.
The Selfridges one might be a perfectly nice meal, but it looks too far away from a full fried breakfast to me. I want a cooked breakfast to be familiar as well as good
I used to work near Harvey Nics in London and they did the best value lunch in the area
It was a great breakfast and good quality ingredients too
Harvey Nicks Darling ! Absolutely fabulous !
Harvey Nichols is my winner choice. 😋
It was a great breakfast!
Harvey Nick’s would be my choice…..thanks for your great vlogs 👍
I think Harvey Nicholls looked the best. I know it was expensive but it looked way classier. I was put off the Selfridges one by the sausage. I've used canneloni beans before in stews.
The sausage was a bit strange at Selfridges, but it did taste pretty nice
I'm you meant cannellini beans and not cannelloni 😉
Harvey Nicks looked classier, but agree Selfridges better value. Why aren't you the size of a house eating all these full English breakfasts? 😊
These two were done on separate days, so it was only one breakfast per day lol
Great video, full English is my favourite meal!
Its one of my favourites too!
This is the first vid the tube of u has shown me of yours. While the Harvey Nichols bacon avoided the white gunk oozing out of it like the Selfridges muck, I think I'd prefer the latter, just for the feel of getting more novelty and more scran. Those potatoes looked great, and the unevenly cooked HN sausage wasn't brilliant.
I went to a few other places where the breakfast was great like M&S
We do pretty good English breakfasts in Australia. I’d choose the first of these. The bacon and the toast looked really yum, though I’d rather fried bread.
Australia does better food than the UK in every respect. Including fish and chips.
Niceeeeeee both look 🤤 dude loved this food journey!!
I need to try both places too!!
You need to try them out! They're both amazing 😋
Great review but can we say these 2 establishments represent Yorkshire prices?

Probably the best place to get a full English,would be a greasy spoon cafe,the motorway cafe.
I need to find a good one!

And why does no where in the U.K. do breakfast hash or potatoes (fried diced potatoes). Which I’ve had plenty of times. Hate hash browns that look as if made in a factory. Cheap.

I would have rather you judge based on taste rather than price. I’m new to your channel and I love it
Fair play it's refreshing to see you suddenly go very upmarket! Out with your Mrs by any chance?!
I to would go for Selfridge’s,
£13 not a bad price at all,
Harvey Nichols probably clinched it for me but at a price £17 ouch.
✌🏻👨🏻🦰✌🏻
Nice Reaview, 2nd one for me
Me too 😀
I have been told the Hilton, does a Buffet Breakfast?
Good Video..thx!
First looks much better. I like my tea much stronger lol 😉. Thank you for sharing.
I think I need to let it brew for a bit longer!
@@everydayimeating3407 it’s difficult when out as you are ready to drink! All looks yummy though. Love your channel.
wow no hashbrowns for a change not on both breakfast that's made my day
Selfridges for me. BTW the thing you spread the butter on the toast with is called a knife. You can use them to cut the sausages, tomatoes etc into bite size pieces I stead of stabbing them with a fork and lifting them up to gnaw on. Definitely not etiquette. It really annoyed me.

🇦🇺😀 harvey nickels did properly plated breakfast.
Selfridges is impressive just as much .the set up was on point .
Breakfast there looks nicely done ,
Balanced plate not to disappoint.
Both i love ,but selfridges wins .🇦🇺😉💖👍
Selfridges just edged it for me too!
Oh my Lord... If M&S V Waitrose is Arsenal V Man City well Harvey Nic's V Selfridges is the Champions League Final... Well one would assume... but maybe M&S could mix it with them...
I love this channel 🦍💪🏾🍳🥓🥳
Where do I have to go for it to be the world cup final? lol 🤔
🙊😂 I believe you can find such a place ✨ 🏆🥳
The absolute best thing in an English Breakfast is when u get 2 slices toast and uncooked tomato ...then u make a toast and tomato sandwich with good butter salt and pepper.
Did you check out hawksmoor
I did, but couldn't find breakfasts on their menu. Is it only in specific ones?
@Everyday I’m Eating oh okay mate london definitely does
both look interesting, and nice on the plate, but the experience of a cooked breakfast is important
Harvey Nichols needed two bits of toast, one for the egg and one for the beans. I need toast with those things. I am a massive black pudding fan. Sefridges looked better but I would have liked black pudding. Happy with two toast and fried potatoes, that was good.
Selfridges all the way mate
Its a bit better value and tastes great! 😋
Why no black pudding?
🤷♂️
Basting on both, hate snotty eggs.
I would have definitely picked the second breakfast,but with the first breakfasts sausages,like you said the sliced mushrooms were the winner.
Sliced mushrooms all the way!
Harvey Nicholls for me if price point isn't included in the overall choice making. I felt the Selfridges one looked a bit flame shy (but if thats how their customer base enjoys it which matters).
Harvey Nicks breakfast was chucked on! 1 egg? But quality was good 👍 Selfridges all the way 😊
Selfridges yummy❤
Its was definitely yummy lol
I love a breakfast that is served with plum tomatoes. You don’t seem get that so much.
Its pretty rare. I don't think I've had one with plum tomatoes so far
No breakfast is complete without black pudding , full stop
So I guess it Harvey Nichols for you then lol
@@everydayimeating3407 💯 all day , I’m Irish , and if I had the choice I’d have white pudding on that plate too!
Na ditch the black pud and bacon for double haggis
@@pamelaadam9207 Haggis is great, but black pudding is more pungent Double black pud, haggis, and bacon for me!!
🤮🤢🤮🤢
Both too expensive. I agree besides the tomatoes not being really cooked Selfridges was the winner.
we would call them home fires here in the USA an potatoes do belong on a British breakfast
Mm left over boiled tatties fried up
nice video.
Thanks! 😀
Some portions are smaller
Looks like Stornoway Black Pudding in first place 👍
breakfast perfection would be, oatmeal and frozen berries with creamy soy milk and protein powder, bacon crispy, beans, sourdough bread and butter, lots of mushrooms, tomato, and seared scallions or leeks, maybe a crisp hash browns patty.
protein powder? Yuck!
@@free_gold4467 sorry, don't have a choice!
Both nice
Thats true!
There didn't seem to be mushroom on them plates 😜
HOW MUCH??? £17.50 for a breakfast 😱🤯🤦🏼♂️
HN - a capital letter for Yorkshire but not 'Bury' on their menu. I'm amazed at such a lack of attention to detail.
tomorrow!
It is not the shop. It is the quality of the Chef in the shop. Just remove all the burnt bits please. See how much is left, then decide. Agree Selfridges wins as less burnt bits and more variety
Definitely selfridges for me. The fried potatoes did it.
Selfridges every day (I’m eating)
Selfridges but should have had black pudding on it then would have been perfect
Black pudding would have been a great addition for the Selfridges breakfast!
Both looked nice but who can afford to pay over £10 for a breakfast, give me a large Witherspoon's brekkie any day of the week. Comment of the video, the black pudding... Loved the colour!!! Not expecting the blackness then? 😂😂😂
Treat your partner one day -- go gourmet!
Oooh we are really going up market now.... Sod M&S and John Lewis 😂😂😂❤ love it!
Thought I'd go a bit fancy on this one lol
£17 for a breakfast, is it worth that, that is the question
Jeez, this was 3 and six when I grew up.. Really
Not when I can make the same at home for around £2.
I only eat out now if I cant make it at home
Slefidges sausage looked iffy
The traditional English breakfast has never and should not ever have baked beans on it. And without Black pudding ( bury ) is again not an English breakfast. Toast v Bread is up for debate however you cannot make a butty without a FULL slice of Bread ( white warburtons ). And for anyone on the European continent if I ever see chips on my breakfast I am going to invade. You only have fried potatoes if you have them left over from the night before. AND while I’m at it where is the FRIED BREAD ???? 😂. Great video ❤
Great channel but both those breakfasts were sub par and grossly overpriced IMO, neither would go down well here in South Wales.
The Selfridge Sausage looked horrible, I'm glad it tasted good!
I think you need a helper with these breakfasts, oh I’m available to help as luck would have it 😅
did not like any really but selfridges just , I will go to travel lodge lol
Selfreges, much more on the plate and cheaper
That was my reasoning exactly! 😀
Harvey Nichols just oozed quality produce. You eat with your eyes and those Selfridges sausages …. Looked unnatural. Good video. Thanks
They were strange looking sausages I must admit!
17 £ no im not spending that much on a breakfast when i know i can get a good tummy filler for 7£
It a shame nobody seems to do fried bread anymore. Seems hash browns have replaced fried bread. Hash browns, in my opinion have no place on an English breakfast. Only potato dish the should be on an EB is bubble and squeak.
Has the world stopped serving Fried bread then?
