Hotel breakfasts in the UK

[mexico1970]

I’ve got four cafes within walking distance* that’ll do a breakfast fry up (2 new ones in the last five years) and I’m hardly in a town centre. They’re always packed, too. Not for me though, I’m a Shredded Wheat fan.

*Most people seem to drive there, though.

Are they proper greasy spoons? I rarely see them nowadays it's all a bit sanitised.

They didn't serve potato tots

we recently stayed in the Hilton on park lane for our anniversary and it was hands down the worst food and experience I have had in a hotel for breakfast

Sorry to say you were mugged off by a tourist trap hotel.

For that sort of money you could have stayed round the corner at The Wellesley - one of my favourite hotels - and still had a bit of change. Only has twenty or so rooms so you get personal service and … a butler. Has a great Jazz lounge as well and they’ll drive you to a west end show (used to be a roller now a 7 series) or somewhere similar for nowt so you arrive in a bit of style. Definitely a treat once in a blue moon for that special occasion but way better than any of that tourist shit on park lane.

Continental breakfast is for fannies.

You've seen my wife smuggling it out for later in the day as well then.

Not sure there’ll be any these days what with hygiene laws and all that.
