neck towards his breakfast.  

This place is popular. To enjoy this restaurant you have to be willing to stand outside for half an hour before they find a place for you to sit. Whilst standing in the cold doesn’t exactly warm the cocklesas a restaurant welcome,  it did give us a chance to relive the experience of queuing for night clubs and theme park rides and also the chance to meet some of the very friendly tourist/hipster clientele that keep the tables so very full.

Once inside myself and (see breakfast No.11) John Risky did the decent thing and allowed a couple of chilly fellow diners to join us at our table in what was a winning move in the blog's first game of diner Tetris.



Fry-up Turncoat

The Breakfast

After such a mouth-watering wait I decided to go for the 'Full Monty' which was a round £10. The atmosphere in the place was laid back and spirits were high but I recoiled in horror and started to seriously doubt my dining partners commitment to fry ups when he didn't order one. Shocking.



Zippy!

The breakfast is costly and does not include a cup of tea but nevertheless it justified the expense. The 'toasted Multigrain Bloomer' was great quality and were a great stage for the eggs. Mushrooms and black pudding were lovely. The tomato could have been fried a bit longer but it went well with the 'home-style fried potatoes'. Not sure what made them home-style. The sausage was great; herby and lovely when cut in half and wrapped in half the toast.

Overall it's a great place to eat. They're really friendly there, the food is good, and it's a cosy place to sit and chew over the issues of the day. It was a great meal.

Needless to say afterwards I was a full English. 8/10. Could have thrown tea in.
