Whilst staying for the night at The Holiday Inn he thought he would review The Holiday Inn Breakfast after reading some online reviews which range from good, bad to downright disgusting. Let's find out for ourselves.

    Great channel Lee, I remember I used one of those toast machines in a hotel to make a bacon and cheese toastie, toast the bread first then ad the bacon and cheese and pass it through the machine again, it worked a treat.

    We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, Glasgow airport in 2019 the night before we flew out to Benidorm (first time). Because the flight was at 7.15am and we had to check in at 5.15am, the only thing that was on offer at 4.30am in the morning was Continental breakfast - but better than nothing! Included in the price. Next time we went to Benidorm we stayed at the Holiday Inn, Glasgow airport. Had to be up at the same time. We didn't even get a Continental breakfast offered to us at that hotel - it was "too early"! So this September, we are back staying at the Holiday Inn Express! Good vlog, Lee, as always.

    A fair review. Can't say I'd ever stay at that particular Holiday Inn as its about 8 miles from my house and I'd rather spent the extra 15 minutes driving home 😁
    For a trip up to Edinburgh I'd have to recommend going the A68 route, so much more scenic than going up the A1. Only trouble is you're driving a milk float and doubt there's any charging points that way 😁

    Great to see you on Wildside Stephen’s vlog last night, you were great Lee. I’ve never been in a Holiday Inn let alone have their breakfasts. Hash browns just not the same as those in the States. It was frustrating watching you trying to put the jam on your plate. I love Marmite have done since I was a kid. Love my toast too but definitely cereal before main breakfast Lee and not the other way. Incidentally Alpine cereal is one of my favourites especially with ice cold full cream milk, you should try it sometime. Not sure the breakfast was worth the money though.

    Lee, it's so nice of everybody to tell you how to eat. Every day.
    Another song about Holiday Inns is from Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention (c. 1970).
    Everything looked fine to me, and I would have had some of all of it, except for the bacon, black pudding, "hash browns" (which they weren't), and marmite. Now I guess I'll be called the spawn of the Devil incarnate. It's just bleedin' breakfast!

  • @daz222
    @daz222 Рік тому

    That's that song firmly in my head, cheers Lee! Lmao! Why does that bacon look so bright pink on the buffet?! Sausages look ok, hash brown done nicely, still unsure of that pink bacon haha!! At least the toast was done 'ok' on one side lmao! I doubt the beans were Heinz for cost purposes, but then again, I think that price is very high for a breakfast!! Could you go back and get more of the fry-up? If it was £90 for the night and £120 including the breakfast, I got to go with a 6.4 🫤

      Yeah Karen, I thought that. You see a reasonable sized cup, then they only half fill it. Really annoying. That said, I prefer tea with a fry up. It's handy because you can stick the rock hard butter on top of the stainless steel teapot for a couple of minutes to give you a fighting chance of spreading it.

    I was trying to calculate the calories in your breakfast and I am jealous. Even if I ate nothing else in a day, I would gain weight. As a result, I ignore the temptation and skip the supposedly "most important meal of the day." It is important - mostly for farmers, food manufacturers and restaurants. But I do enjoy seeing you enjoy it.

    Marmite is amazing, especially with cheese and butter on a jacket spud. Other than that I agree with almost everything you say MacMaster. However I do not get Hash Browns. I love potatoes, chips, roast tatties but not them. I must have fried bread with a fry up and plenty of mushrooms and tinned tomatoes and crispy bacon. If I am honest I have never tried black pudding but perhaps one day.

    • @ianlivsey7200
      @ianlivsey7200 Рік тому

      Hey Nick, can't say I agree with all you say (For example, mushrooms should be eradicated from the planet IMO) but I need to try your Marmite jacket spud thing. More details on how you do that please? BTW, do try black pudding AND white pudding. They're totally different but both amazing. You would find them both on an Irish breakfast and you can't go wrong with one of those. (I'm English and living in England, but you get a banging breakfast in Ireland for sure).
