It's a legendary quote for the ages, love to see more of this... Next week, the previous owner of this place was a bit of a ladies man... [pause]... in fact he strangled over two dozen of them right in the back yard here [smiles, walks away from camera towards mass burial ground]
Gary, I just love these fabulous pubs with great histories. Yes, Turpin often spent time at the Black Prince and many other pubs across the South East. As ever, a great and entertaining video and wow all those beans and half a pig on the plate too! Take care D
Great review, as always. Thanks for that. Four eggs seemed a bit over the top. I know they were trying to make up for mushrooms. However, four eggs must have needed a bit of eating. Good price, it seems. Thanks for taking us along.
I can knock back 4 poached eggs no problem. But with that portion of beans, mixed in your stomach isn't going to be a good thing. And add mushrooms, I think I'd be sitting on my own 😳
what a brilliant looking historic pub! Breakfast looked hearty and solid, but to the eye was a tad overcooked in places, so I'm glad to hear it tasted good. That bucket of beans would put me off for sure, but those poached eggs were perfect, the nicest item on the plate! A very generous amount of toast and plenty of choices to spread on it too. Given the size, a fair price to pay too. A worthy Halloween breakfast! 👻👻👻
Happy Halloween, Gary! The pub looked fabulous, but the breakfast didn't look top notch, but great to have tea, orange juice and great quality bread with a choice of marmalade, Marmite, honey and butter. So an 8 out of 10 sounds fair. Great review as always, mate and keep up the fabulous work! 👌😀
Happy Halloween my friend! That's a fair comment Frank, I think it needed some black pudding and it would have been a bit better. Thanks mate and have a good rest of your evening!
At first I thought that seemed expensive but when I saw all that was included it was probably enough for two people ! Loved the extra touch of the jams/honey etc., and especially marmite. I guess one thing they could have asked was if you wanted the toast with your breakfast or after so it was still hot, but I guess that’s a bit of a faff. Great review as always, thank you, I’m now hungry ! 😊
@@GaryEats yes, that was odd, but talk about egg overload 😀 that many eggs can do odd things to your ‘movements’ or so my old mum would say, probably a myth ! Same as baked beans 💨 😀
What great innovation to seek out a haunted pub for a Halloween food review. You really look after your subscribers Gary & the breakfast looked fantastic.
i like the jam and condiment pots for toast. It gives you the opportunity to either have the toast with the breakfast, which I do enjoy, loading foods on, or as a sweet and savoury alternative with the extras. My wife before becoming ill worked as a housekeeper for twenty years, and she would cook breakfast. I would drop her off at silly o clock in the morning because she didn't drive and as I had time before I had to be at work would take great pride in helping straighten out the pub from the night before, and set up condiment stations, butters etc on the tables for the guests booked in. One of life's pleasures when staying away from home is the full breakfast if you desire! A rare treat but tastes good when someone else cooks it!
Thank you for another fantastic offering, Gary. I love the history you provided especially on Dick Turpin. My father in law is coming over from the USA for Christmas, I will take him to the Ostrich, albeit he might want some maple syrup on his bacon...
Nice to see it hasn't changed much in the past 25 years! We used to get a nice typical pub lunch there, if shopping in Slough during the week. Sandwiches, pies and chips were the usual, but good quality and quantity! (We lived just outside Maidenhead back then)
My daughter and I stayed here for a week in March 24. Had no idea of the history until our 5th night there. I liked the restaurant, had fish and chips a few times and breakfast as well. Top notch. Explored the area as my kiddo came down with a bad cold so I was on my own for some walks. I’d stay here again if the opportunity presents itself. Thanks for the video. Nicely done.
Yes!!! A breakfast video. These and steak are my favourites. Gary is the best food reviewer in the UK. No ego or posturing. Just honest opinions of food that available to every budget. That breakfast sounds a great option. Shame no black pudding. That bacon looks perfect. I much prefer streaky. An extra sausage wouldn't have killed them. A lot of posh cafes that I have used don't do substitutions. If you don't want something they will leave it off but no alternatives. I am not a fan of hash Brown's unless they are the ones you get in the USA. I prefer saute potatoes with a breakfast. £20 where everything is included is good value in my opinion. It's an 8 from me as it makes me feel very hungry. 😁
Glad you're enjoying them. I have another Steak one coming up soon for you at a cheaper restaurant in London. I'm so appreciative of your kind comments, most certainty not the best but it means a lot that you think so Andrew and it makes me enjoy doing the videos more. Nice little assessment of the food as well - all the best mate.
Nice history to start this video off. Scary ! - wow that looks breakfast to errr die for ! That is HUGE, that would keep me going all day! Mmm perfect eggs for sure. [Great location if you are an aircraft spotter - right on the flight path]. Another great review, thanks !
A real Halloween shocker for me reading the plaque about the history of the pub as the surname of the murdering couple, Jarman, was my mum's maiden name I sincerely hope they weren't ancestors. I have to say I've been enjoying your videos. Love these kinds of eating videos. It's a lovely vicarious experience.
Hi Gary, Lovely Breakfast for 20 quid. Cannot complain. I agree that the Beans were too much.. I also agree with your summation of the Hash Browns, they didn't look right. The Toasts could have been more leaner not thick. The Eggs and Bacon looked perfect to me.
The pub was lovely -the history of it was interesting too - especially for Halloween😂 - brekkie was good - eggs done well and the beans were i reckon a named brand very nice. I thought the same on the hash browns as you - not cooked as well as could be. I thought the jams with the toast very good. All told everything included and the quality i thought 20 quid ok. I am not sure about stopping the night there though with the hauntings bit spooky😂 Happy Halloween all!👻
Another top review Gary, very interesting back story surrounding the location. Breakfast looked very decent. Nice to see you over the 8k subs soon be 10 mate.
Happy Halloween, everyone. 👻 Don't know how you got through that generous amount of food, Gary. I hope the cameraman wasn't downwind of you after you scrammed down that bucket of beans. 😂 Also, yay, you're a Marmite lover. 😀
No black pudding made me cry 😢 I'm old .... 50 and remember before American hash browns there were sliced, fried, boiled potatoes from the day before, with crispy skins. My Grandad and I would rescue those not covered in gravy for this purpose 😂 fried bread is a must also .... I'm particular about a full English ... fried mushrooms, grilled tomatoes nee beans, orrible things 😂 as Somerset Maughan said to dine well in England eat breakfast three times a day.
Have to have black pudding on a full English. It's a basic requirement. I love fried bread as well so everything you're mentioning is making me hungry.
Looked amazing that brekkie, my kind of brekkie, no mushrooms, no tomatoes, poached instead of fried, lpads of bacon. Great portion. Keep up the great work 👍👍👍
I admire your health standers gary, poached eggs and brown bread, alas for me it's fried eggs and door stop white bread all the time, very fair score mate, look forward to your next video.
Brilliant story to the pub shame I live so far away. Breakfast looked good bit pricy. Been following you now for a few weeks and got to say Gary you're fast becoming my favourite food reviewer.
Love these traditional pubs and the way the English stick to their "Full English Breakfast" with its basic layout irrevocably defined. I also enjoy the stories of haunted pubs and I really agree that the landlord and the landlady were "a bit naughty". Greetings from Berlin!
The small high street was a major coach route out of London , you can still see the ex Inns, linking up with the Roman Road out of Hounslow Heath , through Bedfont and onwards towards Bath, the now A4 . The victim, a merchant was missed and friends from London tried in vain to find him. It was by chance or otherwise that they stopped at the Pub, and saw the victims Horse in a field close to the Pub. The magistrate was called, and arrests were made. It is apparently the 2nd Oldest Pub in England, As far as Dick Turpin is concerned he was known to frequent Brentford High Street living at one time in a cellar of the now Albany Parade at the rear of the Red Lion Pub [demolished] , that was on the corner of Ealing Road. Dick Turpin’s main haunt was Epping Forrest. Up at a well know farm shop in Windsor to get the Windsor sausages and other meat, 31.10.23, bypassing the Ostrich route . All in all it looked good but over priced. 7.1.Well the Pub is just down the road from the huge Colnbrook industrial Estate near LHR, so not many white van men at the pub at £20 a nut then. Ps the name, it was a brook to cross the river Coln. I for one do like your reviews.
That was a monster breakfast in a nice looking pub. Like you i think it would have been better for them to ask what additional items you wanted given they didnt have the black pudding and you dont like mushrooms. Also, i judge a breakfast by the quality of the sausage - there is a world of difference between the catering ones and the real ones. Great review Gary and I see your subscriber count deservedly increasing. Look forward to future reviews.
Love your thoughtful reviews Gary. 8 seems spot on for what it included but it wasn’t perfect. I’m guessing you were near Heathrow? Looking forward to the next one.
If you and the cameraman conquered those bins of beans I don't think I'd want to be a passenger in the car with ye on the trip home. Love the reviews Gary, look forward to the uploads.
I've always wanted to know what this pub was like, as I take the 81 now and again into Langley, which the bus passes by it! I will be going there pretty soon! Thanks, Gary!
Great clip Gary and Mr cameraman. The pub looked clean and tidy, not sure about all those planes though. Food wise it looked fine and i think that 8 was about the right score, as far as running out of Black pudding there really is no excuse for that, you keep stock in, and should no when to re order well in advance in my opinion. I was a little disappointed at the price of £20, as given the bulk buying power there was no more than 4 to £5 of food on the table giving them a £16 profit on just one breakfast. Keep it up Gary loving these vlogs. Chris.
Wow 4 poached eggs, they didn't stint on the substitution. The bacon is just how i like, streaky and overdone, perfect. I wish my poached eggs were as perfect as these. Great location, great pub, and great breakfast. Looking forward to the net vlog!
Happy Halloween chap 🎃🎃 🎃 Well that looked a nice hearty breakfast Gary...poached eggs looked good chap, I’d rather have extra sausage than all that bacon chap...Lovely pot of tea and toast 👌👌👌 Look forward to your next video....
Mega Breakfast Indeed 👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Another firm favourite- i know I’d be made up with those poached eggs and bacon and beautiful toasted bloomer alone. Location absolutely fantastic too
I don't quite know how it's happened or how to admit this, but I've found an upload of yours that I hadn't previously watched! Unbelievable! But, I've got a massive smile on my face that I've basically had a new upload to enjoy, which was top quality for food and content.
Just had a squiz at the map. Not surprising at the number of aircraft, the pub is almost beneath the final approach to Heathrow. Glad you managed to have a meal there, if Heathrow builds the third runway, I think it might swallow the pub.
Another great review Gary, I agree personally don't like steaky bacon but it looked really well cooked. Keep them coming Gary I really like the way you do these reviews!
Nice Gary. Full-Monty breakfast at 10.30 am. With the Daily Telegraph. What more does a lad need? no shopping. Just move to the bar for a pint. Hats off to the Poached Egg Guy.
Hi Gary - I personally would have been disappointed with no black pudding as it's my favourite part of a fry up, don't like mushrooms either so couldn't care less about them, but it was good to see they gave extra eggs and bacon though. You did a good job getting through all of the food and to ME, I thought it looked well edible and the score of 8 was fair and decent. Would have needed a lie down afterwards though
Easily one of my favourite RUclips channels. Even though I live in France. And I’m a veggie. (Fall off the wagon sometimes.) Prices interest me. The mega Ostrich looks very nice I must say. A touch I really like is unbuttered toast in a rack with a range of jams & Marmite. The sausages didn’t look top quality. I guessed 8/10. Gary, you feel like an old friend. You should be on TV.
A great-looking breakfast. BTW: I've not seen any fried toast on your breakfasts. That used to be a standard feature of breakfasts. They seem to have been replaced by the (healthier?) hash browns.
Gary, "Trap door bed" I can see how that would come in handy everytime a hotel owner charged myself £20 for a breakfast 😂 On to the food, it looked fairly decent, I prefer scrambled eggs, & back bacon like your good self.. price slightly over tbh, but not extortionate by any means, & no service charge help's 👍 I think your score of 8 was spot on once again, & now 8000 subscribers, nothing spooky just well deserved 👏 £20 for breakfast the horror of it 😂 All the very best! Cheers 🍻
Those poached eggs looked great. I always ask for them - they have to be freshly cooked, eh. A good review but no ghosts Gary? I remember staying in an hotel in Scotland and reading about its ghost just before I turned in. The receptionist told me the ghost was in Room 14 which was fully booked months in advance! Is it Sweeney Todd's place next - best pork pies in London?
I like places with history like this pub. Living in the US, I cannot offer any places with that much history. I once stayed at a B&B that was a jail back in the 1800s. One room was a converted jail cell, but the “best” part was having breakfast in the courtyard with a view of the (former) gallows location. Of course, ghosts of former prisoners were included with the stay. I slept soundly though. And the homemade breakfast was excellent too; I still think of the stuffed French toast with peaches. I am glad that the he pub besides a very interesting or naughty history also offered excellent breakfast.
Just stumbled across your channel - love it. I like the format, all of your reviews seem fair. I'm based near Portsmouth, if you ever get down this way I'd recommend the bird in hand in lovedean - they hid the fa cup there during ww2 it's a lovely pub with very good food and an open fire 🔥 Ps you have a new subscriber
Wow, I live about 1/4 mile from this place, great stuff, I love the Planes coming & going, I will visit this place. It’s just off the M4, so easy to find..and a petrol station is close too.
Definitely liked the fact they made up for the lack of black pudding and mushrooms :D god with those ghost stories i'd be scared to sleep there... scary the owners that killed the guests like that! Good breakfast x
Afternoon Gary, Pub looks really nice inside. Know you like your black pudding but I couldn't eat it. Mega bacon and beans and four eggs! wow thats a lot! Bacon looks well cooked just how I like it. I prefer streaky bacon rather than back bacon but like any type of bacon, just like bacon. Looks like you had the full tin of beans! Wondered if the breakfast was hot? You said you love Marmite I hate it! Nice to see fresh tomatoes on the plate as I hate tinned on a breakfast plate. Shame My cafe is not open now as wonder if you would give me a 10 as we had people coming back every week and every day for lunch.
Loved this video Gary, I would of had the mushrooms as I really like mushrooms! Where was the black pudding though as thought you liked that-how comes you swapped that?? and many years ago, I remember when they used to do fried bread as well but don't know why they took it off the breakfast menu 🤷♂
ColnBrook is 1 mile West of Heathrow Airport & the departures are on the Northern Runway when you did the Video 🙂 Looks lovely. Not that far away so will check it out at some point. Im sure I went in that place for drink in 1998.. Last time I was in Colnbrook 🙂
Hi ya Gary & Happy Halloween, first thought. Service may have been a tadge slow,at least for one customer 😮WOW,what a big plate full 😮 4 four eggs 🥚 far too many.Even if they tasted as good as they looked ❤ Now i like streaky bacon but it's gotta be crispy 😊Hash Browns bit flaccid & pale.Sausages,good colour with a nice crisp snap to the skin😊Enough beans for (* Ann Margaret?) Only grouse, tomato not cored 😢 But,the whole package. Location, the history and a fair price for the meal a very good video (well taken as per by CTP) 😊take care both,see you on the next one Allan&Family 😊 PS* The film TOMMY she sits in the bath full of beans, the bath not her
Hi Allan! Apologies for the late reply. Four eggs was far too many and in actual fact, I'd rather have more sausages than that amount of eggs! Thanks again.
WOW what a huge breakfast 😮. Great value as well for everything included. Laughed at you saying NOT bog standard breads 😂...lol.. Great review. And what a gorgeous old pub. Perfect for Halloween 👻🎃. Cheers Gary, oooh i must try Marmite one day. They sell it here. I love my Vegemite so im guessing its very similar.
Hi Gary, I see i'm the first to comment on this one. That looked quite a plateful and those eggs were cooked to perfection. At £20, that did seem a little steep, the bacon was generous, but those four eggs filled it up, plus the bucket of beans. See you on the next one, all the best.
Hi Gary, thanks for another great video. The breakfast looked really good. Forgive me for asking, but I have seen you do something with toast I have never seen before,.When you take a piece of toast, you slide the knife into the side of the toast before buttering - why would one do that, is it to clean the knife or is there some other reason. Absolutely really enjoy the channel.
Those poached eggs did look nice and I agree regarding the hash browns. Despite the eggs I didn't think it was a particularly large breakfast, still my friend would have loved the breakfast and to stay there, particularly as he doesn't believe in ghosts so hopefully would have had a shocking surprise!
Gary: The landlord and landlady were a little bit naughty in the 16th century. 😏
Me: 🤭
Gary: THEY MURDERED OVER 60 PEOPLE! 💀
Thank you for an incredible laugh you just gave me! 😀

Another fantastic location. Great review Gary. Humble, relaxed and realistically critical
Thank you Glenn. Very kind of you, hope you're doing well.
Keep on noshing Gary , we all love your foodie honesty! Dam in my enjoyment of your Vlog I nearly forget too like it 😂
Thanks Petrus! Really appreciate it mate, how are you? Don't forget to like haha!
@@GaryEats I’m friggin Hungry, but since I’ve had Bariatric surgery I can only fit in a chipolata and a boiled egg .
Sorry to hear that mate. Wishing you the best as always.
Gary, I just love these fabulous pubs with great histories. Yes, Turpin often spent time at the Black Prince and many other pubs across the South East.
As ever, a great and entertaining video and wow all those beans and half a pig on the plate too!
Take care
D
Half a pig, lol. Thanks for that David, much appreciated.
I liked how the beans were seperated. Nothing worse than a plate swimming in beans. Very nice breakfast.
Glad you liked it Geoff.
Cobblers!...your only going to eat them like the other stuff...frankly,I'd pour that pot onto the plate-still each to his own🎩
I would only have baked beans at one time on a breakfast. I used to eat the white off the fried egg with the beans.
@@helenmiddlemas5075 Nice
Great review, as always. Thanks for that. Four eggs seemed a bit over the top. I know they were trying to make up for mushrooms. However, four eggs must have needed a bit of eating. Good price, it seems. Thanks for taking us along.
I couldn't even all of the eggs, there were too many. The plate looked like someone wanted to start a chicken factory! Thanks Jeff!
I can knock back 4 poached eggs no problem. But with that portion of beans, mixed in your stomach isn't going to be a good thing. And add mushrooms, I think I'd be sitting on my own 😳
Nice one Gary. I’m in Langley just around the corner from Colnbrook so will definitely be making a visit upon your recommendations

Being a Swede, the only Jarman I've heard of is director Derek Jarman (1942-1994).
@maxslamer Strangely enough, my uncle is called Derek Jarman but he isn't the film director.
Thank you very much Rosalyn. A very spooky inn indeed, I'm sure they're not ancestors!

Dick Turpin’s main haunt was Epping Forrest. Up at a well know farm shop in Windsor to get the Windsor sausages and other meat, 31.10.23, bypassing the Ostrich route . All in all it looked good but over priced. 7.1.Well the Pub is just down the road from the huge Colnbrook industrial Estate near LHR, so not many white van men at the pub at £20 a nut then. Ps the name, it was a brook to cross the river Coln. I for one do like your reviews.
That's a nice little read that Eric. I appreciate your comment at the end a well, thank you!

Hi Gary
Another great review
Delicious looking meal
Hi Veronica.
Another lovely comment from you. Thanks!
glad to see your eating brown toast gary .the breakfast looked fine .keep up the good work mate .
Have to be healthy Michael. Thanks mate.
Hi Gary, love your videos mate, keep em coming 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Herbert, I'll keep bringing them! 👍
Hi Gary great review again i agree back bacon but that looked a great breakfast well done 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Craig. Hope you're well mate.
I couldn't help but laugh at the cars and vans going over the speed bump , it certainly didn't slow them down!
Haha. Good spot Audrey.
Nice one guys great vid, agree back bacon, but looked great, toast jams orange tea/coffee mmm
Thanks Lee. Glad you enjoyed it mate!
That was a monster breakfast in a nice looking pub. Like you i think it would have been better for them to ask what additional items you wanted given they didnt have the black pudding and you dont like mushrooms. Also, i judge a breakfast by the quality of the sausage - there is a world of difference between the catering ones and the real ones.
Great review Gary and I see your subscriber count deservedly increasing. Look forward to future reviews.
Spot on Rob. Thank you very much mate, much appreciated!
Love your thoughtful reviews Gary. 8 seems spot on for what it included but it wasn’t perfect.
I’m guessing you were near Heathrow?
Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks mate. Yes, very close to Heathrow.
If you and the cameraman conquered those bins of beans I don't think I'd want to be a passenger in the car with ye on the trip home. Love the reviews Gary, look forward to the uploads.
The window was open the entire way home... thanks John - glad you enjoy them!
Breakfast looks lush delicious 🤤
It was very good 😊
I've always wanted to know what this pub was like, as I take the 81 now and again into Langley, which the bus passes by it! I will be going there pretty soon! Thanks, Gary!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great clip Gary and Mr cameraman.
The pub looked clean and tidy, not sure about all those planes though.
Food wise it looked fine and i think that 8 was about the right score, as far as running out of Black pudding there really is no excuse for that, you keep stock in, and should no when to re order well in advance in my opinion.
I was a little disappointed at the price of £20, as given the bulk buying power there was no more than 4 to £5 of food on the table giving them a £16 profit on just one breakfast.
Keep it up Gary loving these vlogs.
Chris.
Hi Chris. Yep, a bit pricy but lots included. I was disappointed with the lack of black pudding and that's why I couldn't give it anymore than an 8.
Got to be tinned tomatoes every time for me. Thanks for the upload.
Any time Paul!
Another great review, love it. Breakfast looked amazing, and plenty, as it should at that price.
I agree 💯👍
Looks great Gary, possibly trick-y to get through but it certainly looked a treat...
Haha love that Nick 😂
Wow 4 poached eggs, they didn't stint on the substitution. The bacon is just how i like, streaky and overdone, perfect. I wish my poached eggs were as perfect as these. Great location, great pub, and great breakfast. Looking forward to the net vlog!
They were excellent weren’t they? Mine aren’t a scratch on them either. Thank you Scarlett 😊
nice to see finally,a decent pot of beans and not a thinble.
Spot on Matthew. Had to keep the window open on the way home though!
That looked really good. Eggs fantastic and the bread omg. Nice job Gary
Thanks so much Mark.
I stayed there with my family during June of 2024. It is very charming and the food and drink were terrific. Loved the staff as well.
That’s great to hear Joanne 🌹
Lol love the music 🎶 ideal 👌 😄 I can't get over the age of the buildings are over there! Simply amazing yummy yummy 😋 😍 😜 😉
Thank you so much 🤗
Happy Halloween chap 🎃🎃 🎃 Well that looked a nice hearty breakfast Gary...poached eggs looked good chap, I’d rather have extra sausage than all that bacon chap...Lovely pot of tea and toast 👌👌👌 Look forward to your next video....
Happy Halloween to you too, David! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Mega Breakfast Indeed 👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Another firm favourite- i know I’d be made up with those poached eggs and bacon and beautiful toasted bloomer alone. Location absolutely fantastic too
Massive bit of bacon wasn't it? Thank you for your kind comments as always!
@@GaryEats bacon lover’s dream isn’t it. I’m there for it,what a treat.I am not good poaching eggs lol,so this is fantastic to me
I don't quite know how it's happened or how to admit this, but I've found an upload of yours that I hadn't previously watched! Unbelievable!
But, I've got a massive smile on my face that I've basically had a new upload to enjoy, which was top quality for food and content.
lol thank you as always my friend 👍👍😂😂
@@GaryEats As always, you're very welcome. It's my pleasure, my friend.
Another lovely pub . Breakfast looked good have seen better but I’d give it a go. Thanks Gary.🙏🏼💙😜👏
Thanks Karen, glad you enjoyed it!
The UK'S culinary gift to the world the full English
Wouldn't have it any other way... lol.
I adore a really good breakfast
Have to say breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. That roll looked absolutely sensational
It was such a good breakfast Paul
That meal looks fab
Love your show
Thank you Eric
Nice choice of haunting soundtrack!
Than’ you very much
Just had a squiz at the map. Not surprising at the number of aircraft, the pub is almost beneath the final approach to Heathrow. Glad you managed to have a meal there, if Heathrow builds the third runway, I think it might swallow the pub.
Another great review Gary, I agree personally don't like steaky bacon but it looked really well cooked. Keep them coming Gary I really like the way you do these reviews!
Thanks Sue, I much prefer back bacon as well! 👍
Nice Gary. Full-Monty breakfast at 10.30 am. With the Daily Telegraph. What more does a lad need? no shopping. Just move to the bar for a pint. Hats off to the Poached Egg Guy.
Spot on Jeff.
Hi Gary I believe that half of the price for the meal was just worth being there and seeing all the displays such a unique place and great place
A good point John thank you
Hi Gary - I personally would have been disappointed with no black pudding as it's my favourite part of a fry up, don't like mushrooms either so couldn't care less about them, but it was good to see they gave extra eggs and bacon though. You did a good job getting through all of the food and to ME, I thought it looked well edible and the score of 8 was fair and decent. Would have needed a lie down afterwards though
Hi Joe. It's also mine so I was very disappointed when they told me they didn't have any. Couldn't get anymore than an 8 for that reason. Thanks mate.
Easily one of my favourite RUclips channels. Even though I live in France. And I’m a veggie. (Fall off the wagon sometimes.) Prices interest me. The mega Ostrich looks very nice I must say. A touch I really like is unbuttered toast in a rack with a range of jams & Marmite. The sausages didn’t look top quality. I guessed 8/10. Gary, you feel like an old friend. You should be on TV.
That's very kind Ralph, I think RUclips is the best place for me as I think I may struggle with TV
@@GaryEats My French girlfriend loves your reviews and we watch them together.
I always rate a place by how good of quality their sausage are.But that was a really good breakfast and a good cup of tea.Thanku
I agree Mary thank you 😊
A great-looking breakfast. BTW: I've not seen any fried toast on your breakfasts. That used to be a standard feature of breakfasts. They seem to have been replaced by the (healthier?) hash browns.
Oh yes!
Loving your reviews Gary. Not been a subscriber for long ( as I didn’t know how) but really loving it.
Thanks so much Chris
Gary,
"Trap door bed" I can see how that would come in handy everytime a hotel owner charged myself £20 for a breakfast 😂
On to the food, it looked fairly decent, I prefer scrambled eggs, & back bacon like your good self.. price slightly over tbh, but not extortionate by any means, & no service charge help's 👍 I think your score of 8 was spot on once again, & now 8000 subscribers, nothing spooky just well deserved 👏
£20 for breakfast the horror of it 😂
All the very best!
Cheers 🍻
The trap door would be the perfect getaway from paying the bill haha. Cheers Tel, all the best mate.
Those poached eggs looked great. I always ask for them - they have to be freshly cooked, eh. A good review but no ghosts Gary? I remember staying in an hotel in Scotland and reading about its ghost just before I turned in. The receptionist told me the ghost was in Room 14 which was fully booked months in advance! Is it Sweeney Todd's place next - best pork pies in London?
Did you book room 14, Philip? Haha.
No chance Gary!@@GaryEats
Hi gary and son love the way you described the taste of the food I would like to eat there for sure ❤😂🎉😊❤🎉
Love your videos always have a smile on my face watching them
That's great to hear Bruce.
I like places with history like this pub. Living in the US, I cannot offer any places with that much history. I once stayed at a B&B that was a jail back in the 1800s. One room was a converted jail cell, but the “best” part was having breakfast in the courtyard with a view of the (former) gallows location. Of course, ghosts of former prisoners were included with the stay. I slept soundly though. And the homemade breakfast was excellent too; I still think of the stuffed French toast with peaches.
I am glad that the he pub besides a very interesting or naughty history also offered excellent breakfast.
Thank you very much for your story. I’m not sure I would enjoy it though I’m a bit of a scaredy-cat.
Just stumbled across your channel - love it.
I like the format, all of your reviews seem fair.
I'm based near Portsmouth, if you ever get down this way I'd recommend the bird in hand in lovedean - they hid the fa cup there during ww2 it's a lovely pub with very good food and an open fire 🔥
Ps you have a new subscriber
Hi Jason. Much appreciated mate - I love a bit of history so I will come down and give that a try when I have time.
@@GaryEats let me know if you do I'll buy you a pint 🍺
Never Jason. The pint will always be on me my friend, happily do that with you soon!
Wow, I live about 1/4 mile from this place, great stuff, I love the Planes coming & going, I will visit this place. It’s just off the M4, so easy to find..and a petrol station is close too.
Really hope you have a good time. If you love your planes, it's a perfect space to sightsee. Some huge jumbos came past!
OMG Another Breakfast to die for. Gary you've nailed it again
Thanks Martin!
Another great review gary food looked really nice
Glad you enjoyed it Julie!
Another excellent review. The eggs looked fluffy and cooked perfectly. I personally would have kept the mushrooms and dumped the hash browns. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Pro move @10:00 - stabbing the toast to get a clean knife for the butter spread 😊 Nice one Gary.
Thank you for noticing that little detail!
Definitely liked the fact they made up for the lack of black pudding and mushrooms :D god with those ghost stories i'd be scared to sleep there... scary the owners that killed the guests like that!
Good breakfast x
Glad you enjoyed it. It was a very haunting pub to eat at!
Afternoon Gary, Pub looks really nice inside. Know you like your black pudding but I couldn't eat it. Mega bacon and beans and four eggs! wow thats a lot! Bacon looks well cooked just how I like it. I prefer streaky bacon rather than back bacon but like any type of bacon, just like bacon. Looks like you had the full tin of beans! Wondered if the breakfast was hot? You said you love Marmite I hate it! Nice to see fresh tomatoes on the plate as I hate tinned on a breakfast plate. Shame My cafe is not open now as wonder if you would give me a 10 as we had people coming back every week and every day for lunch.
Afternoon Susan. It was a whole pig on my plate!
That was a lovely breakfast garry them eggs looked great and the toast you could have just had beans egg and toast ibet you was full
Was so full Mark. Needed a lie down afterwards!
Loved this video Gary, I would of had the mushrooms as I really like mushrooms!
Where was the black pudding though as thought you liked that-how comes you swapped that??
and many years ago, I remember when they used to do fried bread as well but don't know why they took it off the breakfast menu 🤷♂
Thanks so much Mike. No black pudding, they didn't have it
@@GaryEats No problem mate, oh I see they didn't have it-fair enough!
I wonder why they stopped having fried bread on the breakfast menu??
Happy Halloween 🎃👻 , looks like a great place, good value for money when everything is included, and looks like you got the whole tin of beans 😁
You too Maureen! It was a great breakfast.
ColnBrook is 1 mile West of Heathrow Airport & the departures are on the Northern Runway when you did the Video 🙂 Looks lovely. Not that far away so will check it out at some point. Im sure I went in that place for drink in 1998.. Last time I was in Colnbrook 🙂
Indeed. Loads of planes flying overhead!
Hi ya Gary & Happy Halloween, first thought. Service may have been a tadge slow,at least for one customer 😮WOW,what a big plate full 😮 4 four eggs 🥚 far too many.Even if they tasted as good as they looked ❤ Now i like streaky bacon but it's gotta be crispy 😊Hash Browns bit flaccid & pale.Sausages,good colour with a nice crisp snap to the skin😊Enough beans for (* Ann Margaret?) Only grouse, tomato not cored 😢 But,the whole package. Location, the history and a fair price for the meal a very good video (well taken as per by CTP) 😊take care both,see you on the next one Allan&Family 😊 PS* The film TOMMY she sits in the bath full of beans, the bath not her
Hi Allan! Apologies for the late reply. Four eggs was far too many and in actual fact, I'd rather have more sausages than that amount of eggs! Thanks again.
WOW what a huge breakfast 😮. Great value as well for everything included. Laughed at you saying NOT bog standard breads 😂...lol.. Great review. And what a gorgeous old pub. Perfect for Halloween 👻🎃. Cheers Gary, oooh i must try Marmite one day. They sell it here. I love my Vegemite so im guessing its very similar.
Glad you enjoyed! You either love Marmite or hate it but it’s worth trying! Thanks for watching 🎃
Hi Gary, I see i'm the first to comment on this one. That looked quite a plateful and those eggs were cooked to perfection. At £20, that did seem a little steep, the bacon was generous, but those four eggs filled it up, plus the bucket of beans. See you on the next one, all the best.
Always look forward to your comments David. Price a little steep but the food was good. See you next time!
Hi Gary, thanks for another great video. The breakfast looked really good. Forgive me for asking, but I have seen you do something with toast I have never seen before,.When you take a piece of toast, you slide the knife into the side of the toast before buttering - why would one do that, is it to clean the knife or is there some other reason. Absolutely really enjoy the channel.
You’re more than welcome Virgil. You’ve nailed it, it’s to clean the bean juice from the knife
@@GaryEats Thanks mate!!
Those poached eggs did look nice and I agree regarding the hash browns. Despite the eggs I didn't think it was a particularly large breakfast, still my friend would have loved the breakfast and to stay there, particularly as he doesn't believe in ghosts so hopefully would have had a shocking surprise!
Lol!!
