In London all the Premier Inns have their own onsite restaurants called Tyme, no Beefeaters, no Brewers Fayre. And often cheaper to stay than the Travelodges. Every Premier Inn has an onsite restaurant, not all Travelodges do.
The egg problem is that they are cooked in massive individual Yorkshire pudding tins, so depending on the evenness of the oven you can get between fairly runny and cremated in the same tin. But as others have mentioned you can always ask for whatever you want to be freshly cooked. Also the toasters conveyor belt in Premier inn's seem to be set on fast, meaning 2 passes for brown toast and 4 passes for a crispy crumpet.
A huge amount depends on which Premier Inn or Travellodge you visit. Even the same one on different days can vary. The large ones with buffet are nice as you can pick and choose rather than order, but when you do order, it's more likely to have been freshly cooked rather than congealing under a hot lamp. That's when my worst experiences were; in self service inns on quiet days, when the hot food has been languishing a bit too long under the lamp. This is true for both chains, where I have had some experience especially in Luton and Worthing (both hotels).
We’ve just come back from a premier inn at Scarborough couldn’t fault it one bit to be honest we’ve stayed at quite a few premier inns around the country and really enjoy the food and the really comfy Hypnos beds too 😴 we will continue to be fans of these hotels 🥰👍🏻
It might have changed since then but the last time I went to a travel lodge, the only breakfast option was some kind of ‘continental basket’ that was delivered to your room and just had a bottle of orange juice, slices of toast, fruit, yoghurt and pastries. There was no option for a cooked breakfast whatsoever.
Last time I stayed in a Premier Inn in London I made a bacon buttie wrapped it up, and a couple of muffins for my train ride home to Lancashire that evening 🤣 make breakfast last until tea time
First off, I am happy you had your cereal before your cooked breakfast this time around 😊 {The correct order imo} I'd have to agree with Travelodge is far superior when it come to breakfast. Premier Inn ambience is much better though 👍 I think you marked it right tbh.
I stayed at the Premier Inn Dover Central during stop over doing the Cantii Way a few days ago and it was a buffet. TBH it's the first time I'd had their breakfast, as other times I've stayed in one I've gone to a local Wetherspoon for breakfast. As buffets go it was pretty good.
I totally agree. I suppose a bit like travel lodge the dry mushrooms was under the heat lamp for a while ?? How about the bottles of branded sauce instead of sachet to be honest both the veggie and regular sausage in travel lodge looked dry as F Also depending on how busy both of them are As to how fast the food get turned around I love a nice soft egg. I would of asked for a new one and waited
Haribo egg! That's really made me chuckle. I have stayed there numerous times and asked once if they were joke rubber eggs. Always go to the Spoons around the corner instead. Great review. Cheers
I've stayed at a lot of premier inns over past few years and have to say it depends what company the inn is connected to for breakfasts some are better than others. PS think it also depends on the staff who's doing the cooking.
Hey Lee😀 My partner Tracey and I are totally hooked on you and all your fantastic vlogs. Not everyone in life has the chance to travel the world as you do.. Anyway Thank you😘😘 stay safe, and love to Darren too😘 O EK! The Blond Angel of cause! Xx cheers guys xxx
Having had a few hundred and probably more Premier Inn breakfasts over the years when travelling around the country with work I would say you have been unlucky on this occasion as they are nearly always terrific.
I have stayed in both many, many times when i visit my family in London. Both have been good and bad on occasions. Prem Inn, served us up mouldy scrambled egg. Stayed at Travelodge, one day no sausages, one day no beans, another day, no tea bags. But in this vid TL looked a lot better.
The young kid filming you at the top of your intro was proper comedy gold moment.😂. This video was worth it just for that!!😂. Got to say the food looked clean and well presented. I also think the price is reasonable. From cereal, to Jam butties, to sausages, to orange juice, to Coffee, to pocketed Nutella, you certainly got your eclectic money’s worth!! I liked the comedy sound effect over the egg as well!! It did not look great.I have stayed in the premier Inn and travel lodge many times and I was not aware that you could just walk in from the street and buy a breakfast, so thank you for that. One small gripe. I prefer the analysis as you sit down to eat the food rather than the “musical interlude”. I’m sorry but I just do. I also like it when you interact with the staff etc…or even have someone with you. I guess it’s that’s whole thing of “eating food as a shared experience”. I get why you have to do this sometimes but that’s just my own personal preference. I just think “the live atmosphere” inside an eating establishment is always better. I would give the food a solid 7 and as for you, you’re always great Mc.👌. Keep’em coming!!x
As someone for years has stayed in Premier Inn and Travelodge for years and I mean over 100 nights a year. I can assure you the Premier Inn is miles better. If you want scrambled or poached eggs they will get them for you and I think as someone said if you don't like your fried eggs they will get you some more. I think you got a bad one there. Orange juice is like water in the travelodge and the coffee is not a patch on Premier Inn. Just my view but from probably over 1000 nights of having the breakfasts. Yes I should really stick to the fruit salad.
Looked like the better brekky to be fair than Travelodge, only had one breakfast at Premier Inn and it was excellent. Kings Cross, service and food quality was excellent.
We stay at premier inns now and then with the kids as they’re ideal . We always do breakfast as it’s such a great deal as is the travelodge. . We’ve always found the breakfast to be very hit and miss. Usually better when it’s linked to a beefeater rather than brewers fayre! Better in both of those than In hotel itself . We’ve had one with a table table restaurant linked but can’t remember what it was like !
I was in a premier inn a couple of weeks ago in london, ive never eaten egg like it - almost plastic with a runny yolk, the sausages were lovely though. If you didnt notice, they cook everything in one industrial cooker - it cooks sausages, bacon, hasbrowns and egg all at once, a bit weird. .But i agree, average at best. Premier inn rooms are far superior to Travelodge though.
I think you are spot on with that Review can't agree more Travelodge wins. going to a Travelodge in Wales nexed week but they don't have a restaurant so i will have to find a cafe for breakfast.
I went to a premier inn for breakfast twice. I went once a few months ago and enjoyed it even though I was absolutely stuffed afterwards and the food was lovely. The second time was when I was on holiday, I had one and it was nice but not as nice as before but perhaps that was because they had Brewers Fayre instead of Beefeater. It was nice and I will be going again whilst I am in Devon to go down to my favourite castle as I am staying at a premier inn.
It kind of depends though Mis on what restaurant the hotel is linked to really in terms of food quality. Did you enjoy your brekkie though or are you having it soon?
I think a lot depends on the time you go as well. It's not like a pub or cafe where it's cooked to order so that's why I always try and go down to breakfast as early as possible when I'm staying at a hotel... Like a lot of the comments, Premier Inn has always been the better of the two for breakfasts for me in the past so was a little surprised at this result.
Think it depends what premier inn you stay at, we stayed at Cheltenham one and the waitress came and asked what we’d like (2 sausage’s, 3 bacon etc) passed that to the chef behind the hatch and he did it.
I have been to many premier inns and can say again it depends on which one you go to or which pub chain the premier is attached to. Some Premier Inns serve your hot food to you and others are buffet style so help yourself. My husband and son love their breakfasts due to all you can eat. They stuff themselves stupid. Their sausages are very nice and have a unique taste I have to say. The only things I don’t like the is toaster thing as having to hover around until toast is ready can take a while and can feel pressured into moving on. They do pastries, crumpets, gluten options and choc chip, blueberry muffins options. Find it a waste of time most of them can’t be put in the toaster to warm them up. Plenty choice of cereal, yogurts and fruits etc
Myself and the children are stopping at the premier Inn at Stirling / Scotland on the 25th of August where their breakfasts are free " because they're under 14 , so I am watching this to do my research because I reckon a lot of other premier inns will be very similar
Great video. It's good to see the comparisons that are out there for food. Wow when I saw those eggs I felt like they were watching me. Maybe they are an alien life form. On appearance except eggs the food looked a clinically okay. I guess I'm never going to find out how hash browns made it to the full English. I would give the food a 6.5. By the way did I tell you I now work for the Nutella police force. If you see any wandering around london unaccompanied please call our hotline.
In general i've preferred Premier Inn over Travelodge however the breakfast I had in the Woolwich Arsenal one was awful. This was run by Beefeater however i've been there before and not had an issue.
Love a prem inn breakfast. Had one at London Rainham this morning. Hot food cooked to order and very tasty… but coffee machine had no beans (change of supplier issues) so only instant available so for that 8/10
Been to my local Premier Inn (Brewyers Fayre) quite a bit over the last year. The quality differes week by week. It's never been the same each visit, which is wired as the ingredients are the same. Over my many visits I would rate the unlimited breakfast on average 6/10. The worst experience here was waiting 15 minutes at the self serve for mushy sausages. Much prefer a Spoons breakfast, which even after adding extras to a large breakfast it works out less than Premier Inn and is far superior.
100% agree with what you said by looks you hit the nail on the head about the pros and cons . Genetics brands when they dont show the lables absolutely lol . Odd to have fried eggs in a bay Marie scabbled yeah ,fried just no has to be sent out as soon as it leaves a pan .5/10 underwhelming dose not meet the expextions as advertised at a standard breaky even But loved❣ the blog 👍😃 that random block at the beginning saying hi thats was awesome .
i stop in a lot of premier inns up and down the country with work and they very from very good to abysmal .South didcott oxford for 2 nights next week lets hope its one of the better ones ha ha
Stayed at County Hall Premier Inn last week and similiar experience as the eggs were pretty poor and Bacon average. In all fairness we asked for some Poached Eggs and they were freshly cooked and brought to our table and were cooked perfectly. Been to County hall quite a lot over the years and it was the most average breakfast we have ever had they need to step up.
The unlimited breakfast has been £9.50 whenever I’ve had it but I’ve only been to ones outside London. Been to a lot of premier inns and most were really good.
Lee I called the Premier inn security sorry you’ll be getting a visit regarding the Nutella. Good job on the Hotels restaurant s I find them all similar except here minus the tomato,mushrooms, and it’s always scrambled eggs and the hash browns are American style.
Great review Lee , I stay all over at Premier Inn and never had a bad breakfast... this was not up to their high standards IMO.. I think the food had been lying far too long ...toast looked a bit iffy lol wee bit longer needed there ...Please dont judge this P.I. on this one hotel ...they really are very good ...😎👍
Haven't had a Premier Inn breakfast since pre pandemic. Didn't look great , they used to cook some of the food to order. At least u tried the selection so we can see what they are currently offering. 4 out of 10 for the hot food , the coffee and juice looked good
I have stayed in 7 Premier inns in the past 2 years (Bridlington, Fort William, Inverness, Carlisle Central, Carlisle Jct 44, Leith, Falkirk) all our breakfasts where cooked to order and where fantastic, I have yet to experience a Travelodge breakfast as they are never on offer in any of the Travelodges I've stayed in
The problem with these big places like travelodge, premier inn, and spoons, etc. is that it's mostly all cooked in an oven and then kept warm under the heat lamps. If they made it to order, it might cost more, but the standard would be better. And more people would buy it, or stay and have it in the morning. One of my old jobs always had us staying in premier inns, we never stayed for breakfast, always went to a local place. Far better quality and it helps the local business.
Think you've been unlucky there. I have stayed in many Travelodge Lodge and Premier Inns and Premier inn has always won hands down. However Premier inn in most cases weren't buffet. You ordered what you wanted from the waitress and it was always cooked fresh. You then ordered more of it if you wanted at no extra cost. If they've gone over to buffet style, then that's probably why. It had probably been sitting there too long and dried up. Maybe you arrived at breakfast late into the service? Anyway enjoyed the vlog thanks
Got to say macmaster in the experiences I’ve had I prefer premier inn breakfast over travelodge, though for the price of ~£10 pp (especially in London) you can’t grumble at either. Coffee much better at premier inn for starters as you point out. Re the eggs, if you get a friendly enough host they will tell you if you ask for one cooked to your liking they will get it to you ASAP, done it plenty of times and they are happy to oblige 👍 Try Dishoom for a breakfast if you haven’t already, there’s a few of them around London and the food is very nice
I'm surprised with that breakfast as I use Premier Inn a lot for work & I've never faulted there breakfast bit pricey yes, so might have to start using the Travelodge. Someone should check that food regular because those eggs needed binning not serving. Another great Vlog lee. Onwards.
The only problem it’s only as good when it’s cooked fresh or how long it’s been sitting there because I’ve been to a few premier inn and had nice cooked breakfast.
On my trips to UK stayed in many Premier Inns, so had many brekkies there. The smaller ones do brekkie to order not buffet. I am surprised buffets are still going in covid times. Banned in OZ. Anyway price ok. Sauce in bottles good. Food looked ok, rubbery eggs and tough bacon though, plenty of it, 7 from me, your travelodge review was better food, depends on the cook. PS toast was not cooked long enough, Lee likes it dark.
Looked OK that Lee, but I agree, the Travelodge looked way better. The highlight for me was a COOKED tomato instead of the regular WARM tomato. Quite the opposite for the toast though, that was warm bread. Needed at least another 2 runs through the machine.
I think it’s great value especially if you have a little one with you . The only thing I don’t like is the eggs , why don’t they have someone to cook eggs in front of you . That’s what they do in most hotels in Vietnam and you can choose how you want them cooked . 7 out of 10
I've been a 'victim' of both chains cooked breakfasts. I personally wouldn't recommend either, mostly because the food has often been left out, for who knows how long. - to receive the best quality, you have to hit them, when the food is fresh. I'd much rather support a non chain or unfranchised smaller business that HAS to focus on quality and value.. for their survival. - you've got a much better chance of a tastier meal.
Really rate how you have done these breakfast vlogs. Should do a vote to see what people prefer. Loved the music as well mate
Thank you.

Also the toasters conveyor belt in Premier inn's seem to be set on fast, meaning 2 passes for brown toast and 4 passes for a crispy crumpet.
They're usually loads of eggs. You can just chose whichever one looks best. TBH it's a bit poor to slate the egg without even trying it........
A huge amount depends on which Premier Inn or Travellodge you visit. Even the same one on different days can vary. The large ones with buffet are nice as you can pick and choose rather than order, but when you do order, it's more likely to have been freshly cooked rather than congealing under a hot lamp.

I have always found Premier Inn a good, reliable place to stay. Always clean and comfortable, at a good price. Great breakfasts, too.
It might have changed since then but the last time I went to a travel lodge, the only breakfast option was some kind of ‘continental basket’ that was delivered to your room and just had a bottle of orange juice, slices of toast, fruit, yoghurt and pastries. There was no option for a cooked breakfast whatsoever.
Last time I stayed in a Premier Inn in London I made a bacon buttie wrapped it up, and a couple of muffins for my train ride home to Lancashire that evening 🤣 make breakfast last until tea time
A little tip, when you are waiting for your toast to brown, put your brekkie on the hot toaster to keep it warm.
First off, I am happy you had your cereal before your cooked breakfast this time around 😊 {The correct order imo}
I'd have to agree with Travelodge is far superior when it come to breakfast.
Premier Inn ambience is much better though 👍
I think you marked it right tbh.
Best supermarket breakfast - Morrisons
Best breakfast anywhere - Premier Inn!!!!
I've stayed here before and it was great,I always stay at premier inns cant beat there brekkie and where ever I've stayed the quality has been great
Loved the review and the music. 10/10
All the premier inns I've stayed at have a continental, and unlimited cooked to order full English, been bang on for the money.
Tell a lie stayed at Brixton, was under the lamp breaky ewwwww
I stayed at the Premier Inn Dover Central during stop over doing the Cantii Way a few days ago and it was a buffet. TBH it's the first time I'd had their breakfast, as other times I've stayed in one I've gone to a local Wetherspoon for breakfast. As buffets go it was pretty good.
Hiya Lee..just watched your video seeing as we will be staying at a premier inn in blackpool and having our meals there
Great video mate, I've also always considered premier inn to be a step-up above travelodge, but foodwise - i guess travelodge wins!! :)
I totally agree. I suppose a bit like travel lodge the dry mushrooms was under the heat lamp for a while ?? How about the bottles of branded sauce instead of sachet to be honest both the veggie and regular sausage in travel lodge looked dry as F
Also depending on how busy both of them are
As to how fast the food get turned around
I love a nice soft egg. I would of asked for a new one and waited
Both looked a solid breakfast tbf for hotel buffets.
HP sauce. Made in Basford. Can’t go wrong with that.
Keep up the great vlogs, Lee!
Fair game, you could see just by looking at it, your reviews are great because they're honest. 👍
Haribo egg! That's really made me chuckle. I have stayed there numerous times and asked once if they were joke rubber eggs. Always go to the Spoons around the corner instead. Great review. Cheers
You can always ask for a freshly cooked egg. I worked in a hotel similar to this and the pendants got your back up.
I've stayed at a lot of premier inns over past few years and have to say it depends what company the inn is connected to for breakfasts some are better than others.
PS think it also depends on the staff who's doing the cooking.

Hi Lee those characters were funny. Love your Vlogs great job. LET’S GO Theresa
Having had a few hundred and probably more Premier Inn breakfasts over the years when travelling around the country with work I would say you have been unlucky on this occasion as they are nearly always terrific.
The macmaster I can't believe I've just found this video 🤣🤣🤣 that's me in the background mate
Lol. 😂 👍🏼
Iv stayed Premier Inn and yep Lee agree with you about breakfast.As for the egg if you drop it on the floor it would bounce.Great vlog as usual
We love the Premier Inn in Hull overlooking the Humber, great breakfast in there with a view 👍👌
Been there as well, great hotel if you are in the area.
The way to use those toasters is to let it go through once then Frisbee it inthe second time then it doesn't burn . Years of experience .
LOL!!
I have stayed in both many, many times when i visit my family in London. Both have been good and bad on occasions. Prem Inn, served us up mouldy scrambled egg. Stayed at Travelodge, one day no sausages, one day no beans, another day, no tea bags. But in this vid TL looked a lot better.

Looking good and love the mini bottle of HP
Stayed at Premier Inn Lincoln a few weeks ago .. service and food was excellent .
As someone for years has stayed in Premier Inn and Travelodge for years and I mean over 100 nights a year. I can assure you the Premier Inn is miles better.

That was pretty surreal at 1:00 😂 but nice to see Lee take it in good humour.
Can't wait to see this video Lee I like a good fry up but I say no to black pudding.
Looked like the better brekky to be fair than Travelodge, only had one breakfast at Premier Inn and it was excellent. Kings Cross, service and food quality was excellent.
I agree with the score there Lee. That is all i will say with reference to the Premier Inn all you can eat breakfast.

Love the Premier Inn, looked wonderful...love my Marmite yummy ....😜👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
Nice I think premium Inn is better Lee 8 out 10 nice full breakfast thanks
I think I'm going to Spoons tomorrow for breakfast or if I get the chance Zachos in Sunderland. Cooked as you wait with beautiful coffee
That toast needed putting through again, you picked the egg pal so that's your fault.
Rest looked good looked better than Travelodge.
I think you are spot on with that Review can't agree more Travelodge wins. going to a Travelodge in Wales nexed week but they don't have a restaurant so i will have to find a cafe for breakfast.

@@youngamericanferret422 tomorrow!
They are owned by the same company though so perhaps it was a bad day.

But loved❣ the blog 👍😃 that random block at the beginning saying hi thats was awesome .
i stop in a lot of premier inns up and down the country with work and they very from very good to abysmal .South didcott oxford for 2 nights next week lets hope its one of the better ones ha ha
I think under the light the eggs and becon goes cold at some cafes you can get chips instead of hash browns
Good breakfasts. They also use Heinz beans.
Stayed at County Hall Premier Inn last week and similiar experience as the eggs were pretty poor and Bacon average. In all fairness we asked for some Poached Eggs and they were freshly cooked and brought to our table and were cooked perfectly.

I think the food had been lying far too long ...toast looked a bit iffy lol wee bit longer needed there ...Please dont judge this P.I. on this one hotel ...they really are very good ...😎👍
Haven't had a Premier Inn breakfast since pre pandemic. Didn't look great , they used to cook some of the food to order. At least u tried the selection so we can see what they are currently offering. 4 out of 10 for the hot food , the coffee and juice looked good
I have stayed in 7 Premier inns in the past 2 years (Bridlington, Fort William, Inverness, Carlisle Central, Carlisle Jct 44, Leith, Falkirk) all our breakfasts where cooked to order and where fantastic, I have yet to experience a Travelodge breakfast as they are never on offer in any of the Travelodges I've stayed in
Can’t go wrong for the price Lee 👍
Premier inn Ipswich my wife will look after you if your ever in Suffolk lee 👍🏻
Do you like doner kebab , we need doner kebab vids 🥵
Wow this is looking good so far . I'm going with a 9 . .rubber eggs ? Always thumbs up 👍 Still watching
Hi there love the video good work
The problem with these big places like travelodge, premier inn, and spoons, etc. is that it's mostly all cooked in an oven and then kept warm under the heat lamps. If they made it to order, it might cost more, but the standard would be better. And more people would buy it, or stay and have it in the morning. One of my old jobs always had us staying in premier inns, we never stayed for breakfast, always went to a local place. Far better quality and it helps the local business.
Think you've been unlucky there. I have stayed in many Travelodge Lodge and Premier Inns and Premier inn has always won hands down. However Premier inn in most cases weren't buffet. You ordered what you wanted from the waitress and it was always cooked fresh. You then ordered more of it if you wanted at no extra cost. If they've gone over to buffet style, then that's probably why. It had probably been sitting there too long and dried up. Maybe you arrived at breakfast late into the service? Anyway enjoyed the vlog thanks
Can't beat a premier Inn breakfast, we go to the beef eater that's attached to it all the time
Love a Premier Inn breakfast!
I enjoyed this comparison vid. 👍
was that toaster even plugged in? white bread went in white and came out white
The breakfasts that I've had at the Premiere Inn haven't been "off the charts" as some would say, but just good enough to do the job.
Got to say macmaster in the experiences I’ve had I prefer premier inn breakfast over travelodge, though for the price of ~£10 pp (especially in London) you can’t grumble at either. Coffee much better at premier inn for starters as you point out. Re the eggs, if you get a friendly enough host they will tell you if you ask for one cooked to your liking they will get it to you ASAP, done it plenty of times and they are happy to oblige 👍 Try Dishoom for a breakfast if you haven’t already, there’s a few of them around London and the food is very nice
I'm surprised with that breakfast as I use Premier Inn a lot for work & I've never faulted there breakfast bit pricey yes, so might have to start using the Travelodge. Someone should check that food regular because those eggs needed binning not serving. Another great Vlog lee. Onwards.
Great looking sausages, and bacon, sauce in bottles. I prefer T, lodge 6..10. Cheers mac.
The only problem it’s only as good when it’s cooked fresh or how long it’s been sitting there because I’ve been to a few premier inn and had nice cooked breakfast.
On my trips to UK stayed in many Premier Inns, so had many brekkies there. The smaller ones do brekkie to order not buffet. I am surprised buffets are still going in covid times. Banned in OZ. Anyway price ok. Sauce in bottles good. Food looked ok, rubbery eggs and tough bacon though, plenty of it, 7 from me, your travelodge review was better food, depends on the cook. PS toast was not cooked long enough, Lee likes it dark.
I just love Premier Inn full Breakfast and I went in for seconds too
Lee it looked nice, but personally I give the edge to the Travel Lodge Breakfast. Cheaper and better. 👍🏻👍🏻😁
I always ask for poached eggs when staying at premier inn's.... makes it that bit much better
I use Travelodge when i visit family in christchurch Dorset An'd ive never been dissapointed with th breakfast yet
Looked OK that Lee, but I agree, the Travelodge looked way better. The highlight for me was a COOKED tomato instead of the regular WARM tomato. Quite the opposite for the toast though, that was warm bread. Needed at least another 2 runs through the machine.
I think it’s great value especially if you have a little one with you . The only thing I don’t like is the eggs , why don’t they have someone to cook eggs in front of you . That’s what they do in most hotels in Vietnam and you can choose how you want them cooked . 7 out of 10
Haribo egg ! Nice one Lee 😄 👍
Trouble is consistency, you could try two others and results might be reversed. Thought you'd mention the bottles of condiments.
What about all the people that have touched the sauce bottle that is likely covered in germs. Prefer sachets IMO.
@@iainferguson4737 it's called going back to normal.
I think it’s time to try luxury hotel breakfasts 😍 Corinthia and Biltmore in London have incredible breakfasts
That i would love to see. If they really are worth the extra money.
Just an idea for a food review how about finding a place that does Middle Eastern food
Agree with most. However, did npt see croissants, muffins etc in travelodge. Plus points there so 7.3 for me.
I've been a 'victim' of both chains cooked breakfasts. I personally wouldn't recommend either, mostly because the food has often been left out, for who knows how long. - to receive the best quality, you have to hit them, when the food is fresh. I'd much rather support a non chain or unfranchised smaller business that HAS to focus on quality and value.. for their survival. - you've got a much better chance of a tastier meal.
I I love poached eggs at premier Inn always ask for them,I am in butlins Minehead coming home in 90mph winds tomorrow
Bacon looked rank...and strangely very pink. Reminded me of a Morrisons 6 items for £2.99 breakie
Never mind how much is all you can eat, it's much more about how much you would want to eat.
And bottles of sauces yeahhh 😀
Yes covered in other people's germs!
