Hi all. A couple of things. Firstly, apologies for the lighting in this video. We did try to get a better table but this is what we were given and as it was busy, we couldn't change it. I know a couple of you want less breakfast reviews so this will be the last one for the forseeable future and I'm back on my travels this week outside of London so looking forward to it. As always, thank you for watching.
What I really like about you Gary is that you eat all sorts of foods from really expensive to really cheap (and everything inbetween), but you judge them all fairly. You're not swayed by price, prestige, or celebrity chefs, you simply judge the food based on what it tastes like. I really like that.
Gary, i stayed at the Crown Plaza in Newcastle few months back, paid £19 each, me and the wife for breakfast, total £38 and everything was cold, and not that great quality, so i would easily pay another £12 for that quality offering
I've said it before, and I will do so again. I absolutely love Gary's approach to these videos. His authenticity shines through - no hyperbole - just an honest review without any unnecessary nonsense. You can only wish him every (and increased) success.
Even though I was a butcher for around 10 years, that's one thing I've never tried, bone marrow on toast, or on anything else for that matter, if I ever see it on a menu, I'd better give it ago! Everything looked well cooked and inviting, especially the bacon chop and those beans, cooked with a pigs trotter, that was my dear old Nan's favourite treat, gnawing on a pigs trotter for her tea, while watching the wrestling on a Saturday afternoon, lol! Another informative video Gary, and sent me down memory lane, thank you! keep'em coming!
It is very very good...I make it at home myself buy split bones soak them for a few hours or overnight to remove the blood and pop them in the oven for a few minutes and spread the marrow on toast... Way better than butter on toast in my view
Hey Gary! I found you after someone on twitter said that you’re a must-watch, and that’s rang true. I love your videos because they’re always so grounded and such a treat. I work a high-stress overnight job, so watching your videos after I get off of work is a nice way to wind down. I’ve integrated “let’s give it a go!” to my default lingo with regulars. All the love, and never change. ♥️
Another excellent review Gary. No hesitance in questioning your earlier view re portion size, and always reviewing the whole experience, such as customer service and the environment. Objective reviews and informed judgements. I just love these reviews. Don't stop Gary.
I think the portion size looked ok - given the size of the bacon chop compared to a couple of rashers, and the rich indulgence of the beans and bone marrow, one sausage and one piece of black pudding seems about right! I liked that there were good portions of tomato and mushroom too! It is expensive, but given the location, the class of the restaurant and staff, and the superb quality of every component, I think it looks decent value for an occasion! Think I'd be scoring higher than 8/10, but at least you've got me wanting to try it for myself! Love the video as always Gary!
@@GaryEatsI've thought about this a bit more, and actually the biggest issue with the meal for me is not being able to get a good cup of Rosie Lee! Absolutely criminal! Definitely 1 point off for that, and such an easy fix!!
Gary, just keep the videos coming. Absolutely loving the content you’re bringing. One of my favourite channels bar none! The missus and I are visiting an Indian restaurant you reviewed a few videos ago in London for our wedding anniversary thanks to your “advice”. Looking forward to it! Once again, many thanks!
Hi Gary, I've recently come across your page & I must say I really enjoy it - best food reviewer I've seen very genuine, keep up the excellent work- Wayne.
Gary , u are my the only food review guy I love. Others like to call owners before they go to review their food , some of them giving 10 out of 10 for every single place their been. But you Gary always honest and saying what u really think. I hope u wont stop to do those reviews. U are example for all those others food reviewers.
Well I have to say another great video again the food looked great and the venue looks spectacular another on my list to try brilliant analysis again Gary well
@@GaryEats -Not so sure about that. I'm a firm believer in value for money and am always prepared to pay a little bit more if necessary. Ive eaten at Hawksmore in the evenings and what an experience that was, so i'd expect the breakfast to be top quality. I would happily pay for the best, and Hawksmore's reputation is such that it would be a no brainer for me. Add to that the location just off Regent Street, the restaurant space itself, and the ambience....it was busy so obviously a lot of people quite happy to pay for quality.
@@DavidDavies-k7o I've had the steak at Hawksmoor and it was delicious and the breakfast was still good, I just think a tad too expensive. Others dining in the restaurant who had the breakfast also agreed
Another great review Gary. I am sure the ingredients where as good as you say and should be for the price of a breakfast, but I have to say that when I first looked at it I thought it looked drier than Gandhi’s flip flop 🤦♂️. Look forward to more Gary, all the best.
Hi there Gaz. As always top video. As I watched ,I was thinking about the pork ingredients. Another dish l enjoy cooking is a decent size pork joint. Traditionaly it's with apple sauce. But I tweak abit of the prep.I slice the joint, making downward cavities, and then I put garlic and fresh slices of Cox apples into the joint. Then in the oven for at least three hours on a low heat. The best bit is, the smell and the anticipation of getting stuck in!!!!😂😅🎉
My granny always put HP sauce in her stews mince gravy"s.....I'm 65....…and I always put HP sauce in all of my stews mince etc . Tomato sauce also gives a great flavour too ..and kick Belfast
Breakfast was considered the most important meal of the day. Levels of fats, carbs, proteins and lashings of sweet tea. You then 'worked it off'. All the best. 😎🍻
Can’t really verbalise why, but I just love watching your videos Gary! You’re such a top guy. Glad to see your RUclips flying 🤘🏼 This breakfast looks great. Gonna try it myself soon :)
I've come away from this video with a far more positive impression of this place than I was expecting. Yes, it's expensive - but I thought the quality of that meal looked exceptionally good, and crucially, I thought it looked like it was worth the money. When I see some of the prices you've paid for far, far worse than this, I don't have a problem with this being £50 for two. And that restaurant looks like it has a very pleasant ambience - I would love to go there. Great video as always, Gary!
Good, interesting review, subjective as well which is what we like to hear from a reviewer. Only issue I would have with the price besides the portions is the 12.5% service charge. Staying at the Duke of Marlborough Hotel in Woodstock recently I asked for the charge to be taken off the bill, to which the female supervisor objected & loudly began an argument. Out of embarrassment I relented but walked out fuming, vowing never to pay a service charge again!!
That is completely wrong, you pay a service charge if you think it’s deserved for the waiting staff. It’s not obligatory in law so if you don’t want to pay then never do it. I’m sorry you had a bad experience
Great video as always, but echo most peoples comments, £50 for breakfast for 2 is sickening. There is no way the ingerdients cost anyhwere near that, cant justify the price. Love your reviews gary, easly by far the best food reviewer on youtube.
@@leekemp1398 Lee, you keep going down other comments saying the same thing. It's my opinion, you have yours. I gave it a very good score and you are still complaining about it.
@@siturl5834 whilst energy prices are high, and rent is dependant on the deal you have with the landlord (alot of commercial rents are quite reasonable, as there are more properties available than businesses wanting them), I agree those are a contributing factor to determining prices, but £50 for a breakfast for two is not reasonable and not value for money. As people have mentioned, you can do a weekly shop for that, I feed my family for a while week with fresh food (all fresh meat and veg) for less than that. For the majority of people, those prices are out of reach, but not only that, most people can't understand the justification of those prices, which seems more than a tad expensive.
Gary, as a foodie myself I love your videos. You're eloquent, funny and informative and an absolute Gentleman. What also makes me chuckle is your informal 'uniform' of a nice shirt, blue trousers, trainers, gilet and on colder days a jumper! Keep it up, you're thoroughly entertaining and as always...🤣!x
@GaryEats I'll definitely be watching that! But you always look stylish fella! I've been inspired by your breakfast videos so treating myself to an all in one skillet Welsh breakfast today.
Hi Gary, wow for £50 you would have thought the presentation could have been better,😊❤ as well as the portion size, never been anywhere for breakfast where you only get one piece of everything 😮, love sourdough bread 😊 at least you had something to fill you up 😊❤ glad you feeding the cameraman more these days 😊❤ thank you for another great review 😊❤
Now that the tourists are back in London, this is a great option for them, the Wolseley always used to be the best Breakfast in Mayfair, but since Corbin and King are no longer involved standards have dropped massively. At £25 a head for the centre of Mayfair, I think that's pretty decent value, considering the quality of the ingredients.
@@GaryEats It used to be, but the original owners were forced out about 18 months ago and the standards have slipped massively. I used to have breakfast there regularly on a Saturday, can't go there any longer it's just not the same level of service, which for the price you expect.
Didn't know about the new owners atThe Wolseley. What a shame if standards have slipped in what used to be one of London's great restaurant institutions, especially for breakfast. :(
@@walterekurtz4320 Sadly so, Jeremy King is going to be re-opening the famous Simpson's on the Strand at some point late this year, it will be everything that the Wolseley used to be and more I suspect.
What is wrong with you people? As a child, my main meal was school lunch and something later in the day. £25 decent value my arse, Mayfair who the hell wants to live there, you do live in a bubble.
Gary, another great video. 👍🏼 I always watch you and your reviews with absolute joy and pleasure. Waiting already for the next one. 🤓 Best wishes from Germany ☺️☺️☺️
Gary is winning at life. Doing well for himself and well deserved. I enjoy seeing all this expensive dining, although I'll never go myself because I'm a Yorkshireman haha.
I wish we had found your channel back when you started it. I'm a Canadian and in London right now, have been for two weeks. We've gone to two of the restaurants you recommended and they were wonderful. We went to the restaurant you're reviewing now for dinner. Loved it.
Gary if you go to Dublin, Ireland you need to go to Gallaghers Boxty House. They make the most delicious potato pancakes with fillings of your choice like chicken and bacon, beef and lamb. They have w choice of 3 different Irish stews and you can have coffee with Baileys cresm. I think it would be your type of place. You also need to go to Bean Hive, if you want to try the traditional Irish breakfast or Ulster Fry with generous portions.
I used to work in Moira! Nice to see you enjoy their food. If I’m not mistaken that sugar pit bacon is probably from Moira too as I see it in Haanans butchers
Quality of food looked great for a breakfast, but that’s what it was…a breakfast. I wouldn’t personally be going out my way to spend £56 on a morning meal for two
£56 quid once for a fantastic meal between 2 on a special,🤷 it not that ridiculous, a normal breakfast in london can cost 15/17 quid per person and it's nowhere near that level
The bacon chop was brined hence the saltiness taste brings out a juicy flavor! Had the cameraman eaten the mushrooms before filming I never saw them? Great review Gary!
Love the videos, but those watching and also Gary just need to understand that this is one of the best steakhouses in the world, the quality is in the cooking and bringing the best out of the flavours through what they source and methods/techniques the chefs use in those kitchens. It's a fine dining steak house with awards and top Ingredients hence the price. Not a spoons pushing quantity at terrible quality. Its just hard watching this one when the negative is a sausage and beans. But when eating it your amazed, that's what their aim is, and they've achieved it, price is justified👌
I thought you were a bit stingy today, Gary. The best bacon, the best sausage, the best black pudding, the best bone marrow, a special brown sauce gravy. and coming out not over full but comfortable in a really classy environment. C'mon my friend, it's got to be a nine, whatever your new subscribers say. It's high end, Central London, and it's there for those with money to spare. It was busy, so there's a place in the market for any couple who want to spend £56.50 on a classy breakfast. Only one thing was missing. No tea!!
The lack of tea was disappointing and I felt the portion was a little small for what you pay. I thought the quality was excellent but just lacking in one or two other departments. I think Hawksmoor is excellent and their steaks divine but I wanted a bit more to edge it closer to 9!
Been to Hawksmoor Air Street several times in the past although not for breakfast! It's somewhat expensive but every time, it's been an absolutely amazing dining experience. Great food and the staff are outstanding. Felt like royalty :)
I love watching you enjoy your food Gary! If you ever come to Ireland, you have to try Athea black pudding; it's made by a small family-run company in west Limerick, and they also make superior white pudding and sausages.
Excellent video and brilliant review as always!! But measly on the portion considering the price. What was the name of the black pudding again? Never had Stornoway BP but am a lover of the Clonakilty and Irish BP. Hope all is well, take care
Hi Gary, was the water included in the bill? The breakfast looked great but not enough of it for two at that price. The bone marrow and the HP gravy were interesting ideas, well done. The place looks amazing too. Spacious and comfortable. I do agree with an 8 and I shall definitely pay a visit. I think a nice cuppa would've been nice with that too. Thanks ever so much, enjoyed watching. Much appreciated.
Gary your vids are great and I'm sure you're going to keep getting loads more subs. Look how many have viewed this already in 5 days! The one at Neil Morrissey's pub was good and the Wimpy one... and the Phaal curry. I keep coming back anyway. 👍
Gary I'm from northern Ireland and would love to get hold of some of that black pudding . just couldn't get the name of it clearly in the video . who makes it please?
@@GaryEatsI did a little research on the hawksmoor site and it turns out their bacon sausages and black pudding come from Hannon meats in Moira. a place I have been many times. top quality produce. it featured recently in Rick Steins BBC show
Great as always Gary. You should do a Fazenda they have ones in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and London. Have a look. Its good but very strange. They have a central buffet. You sit down and have whats like a card thats red on one side and green on the other. Red means dont want to be served green means you do....the waiters come around with loads of freshly made different cuts of meat...sausages to steaks and if your card is green offer them at your table, and it never stops they just keep coming round....would be a very good video for you to review.
Really good channel and videos, Gary you have quite the tv presenter persona about you, very polished and professional! I can see why your channel is becoming so popular. Please try Yu and you chinese restaurant in copster green blackburn. They featured on gordon Ramsay's best restaurant and were voted best chinese in country. Really enjoy the food their and the staff are excellent also. Charlies chinese curry is a must when you go there. Keep up the good work!!!
Ha Gary! Looked really nice, especially that chop and the gravy! The only thing I can come up with regarding the slightly off breakfast times is that its kitchen staff related.
That’s okay. The breakfast videos are my favorite. I love a full English breakfast, but it’s rare to find them in the USA! I can vicariously enjoy them through your videos!
Hi Gary, thanks for another great review- poor show no cup of tea was on offer. Perhaps another bacon chop would have been good, and the beans a little more saucy! Loving all your content and friendly calming manner. The new catch phrase in our house is, "Let's give it a go" !! Can't wait for your next video, keep them coming. All the best to you and Cameraman!
Looks very nice but for the price, I'll go to Denny's. Sourdough bread is hugely popular in San Francisco - sold everywhere. However, it often comes with a "do not toast" warning. But no tea at breakfast?
Have to say it that Breakfast looks delicious and the fact it has soo many different unique things on there such as Bone Marrow really makes me want to visit and try it! Great video!
Hi Gary, that looked marvellous. I have tried most black and white pudding from Northern Ireland. You were making me hungry. Most of my family in England are in Portsmouth Wonder would you do your show from there some time. As always honest reviews. Thank you
That was a very interesting review Gary. It has the feel of an alternative to a mixed grill at lunchtime rather than a breakfast and the menu time you mention appears to concur with that idea. Cannot deny that Hawksmoor know how to serve meat with quality and style. I will stick to a cafe for my full English but this was an interesting idea for a lunch.
My husband, daughter and her partner, and I had a sumptuous breakfast at Raffles Hotel, Singapore. It was once in a lifetime event, and it was amazing. Cost $NZ400., for 4, approximately 200 pounds. It was unlimited, but there is a limit to what one can eat in one sitting, as you know. It was a very special thing to do, even a wee stool provided for my handbag! We would never spend that much in NZ for breakfast, even for a special occasion - possibly a third to half that.
I never got a chance to do the Hawksmoor breakfast so was excited to see it available again - but it doesn't look quite as good as before. For the money, I want it to look great on the table. I do love the Air Street location. Thanks for another great video!
Gary I m sitting here in Johor Bahru Malaysia before flying back to the UK tonight and watching this makes me yearn for a full English breakfast again The food here is great but I m still not used to curry noodles in the morning! Love your videos and talking to my son’s Nepalese friend recently I mentioned you and he told me his family watch you as well ! Your influence is growing worldwide and justly deserved Keep those videos coming 😊
Great review as usual Gary. Was there a name of the NIR black pudding?. I missed it I dont know if you saif more of those black puddings or moras black pudding but nothing comes up on a search.
*I personally have not seen,read ,heard or watched such a Top Class Breakfast- Ever in my life and I’m left Amazed 😮👌🔥👏🏻👏🏻* Wow wow wow - never seen bacon chop like that,never seen hp gravy,never seen beans or indeed even black pudding like that,so I adored watching this review with high interest- wow again What a unique find. Some questions. Did they do this for one person or are these available as extras? And what was the sweetness you referred to on the bacon?was there a sweet glaze? Would love to go there for a birthday treat in the summer- that’s how I feel about this place. Expensive yes,but you can see the reasons why- not comparable with any of the breakfast reviews I have watched Gary.
Black pudding must be a Northern thing. Northerners do black pudding for breakfast. Southerners do steak and chips...washed down with a bottle of Chataeu Lafite.
Hi all.
A couple of things. Firstly, apologies for the lighting in this video. We did try to get a better table but this is what we were given and as it was busy, we couldn't change it.

Lighting looked fine to me Gary no worries cheers.👍🏻😁
Dim Sum is breakfast/ brunch, hopefully you will do one soon. Even in the dark, you are the best restaurant review out there bar none.
@patrickwong4824 very true, Gary certainly is..
Yes got it in the pipeline. Coming soon and thanks so much
Agree with you Gary! The portion size looked a little bit mean for £50
When it comes to breakfast my dad always said "Follow the lorry driver and not the Jaguar"
I bet he said "never trust a skinny cook" as well.
Lol that's a very clever saying Trevor
What if the lorry driver is going to France?
In my experience places that look rough as hell normally do a decent breakfast lol.
The Greasy Spoon at Balinluig on the A9 is fantastic for the price, if you are ever that far up if you go on tour
What I really like about you Gary is that you eat all sorts of foods from really expensive to really cheap (and everything inbetween), but you judge them all fairly. You're not swayed by price, prestige, or celebrity chefs, you simply judge the food based on what it tastes like. I really like that.

@@GaryEats Yep, you certainly do.
Gary, i stayed at the Crown Plaza in Newcastle few months back, paid £19 each, me and the wife for breakfast, total £38 and everything was cold, and not that great quality, so i would easily pay another £12 for that quality offering
ABSOLUTELY 🎉
Not a problem, I still gave it an 8 and a good score
I've said it before, and I will do so again. I absolutely love Gary's approach to these videos. His authenticity shines through - no hyperbole - just an honest review without any unnecessary nonsense. You can only wish him every (and increased) success.

Expensive breakfast. But as I left a comment for Gary spent $10 last month on bone marrow fancy toast. Give it a go. Lol.
smoked bone marrow on toast ... delicious.
It is very very good...I make it at home myself buy split bones soak them for a few hours or overnight to remove the blood and pop them in the oven for a few minutes and spread the marrow on toast...
Way better than butter on toast in my view
Yea that is something you don’t see everyday. Bet it taste lush
You're more than welcome Deadman. I felt it was a little pricey in all honesty but no doubt the ingredients and the bone marrow was delicious

Thank you very much Steve it makes doing the review worthwhile so much appreciated 👍👍
You have to have a pot of tea with a cooked breakfast...great review Gary x
Nah, half a dozen Bloody Mary's when you're having a breakfast like that.... not Tea....😂
I completely agree
Try West Indies Porter from Guinness. It compliments a brunch, perfectly!
Steaming hot cup of tea or coffee with a full english for me .....
i do too :) cant beat a decent brew
Loved the review. But I think for the price there should have been two bacon chops. It wasn't large enough to share
Agreed. Just not enough there for me
for 60 quid, there should've been 6 breakies!!
@@GaryEatsthere was only one so if that wasn't enough for you are you saying there should be four of your sharing with the camera man
For the price there should have been 20 bacon chops! 😆
@@frankcarter6427 But is it a breakie at 11:45 - 3pm ?
My daughter and I were sitting next to you! Loved the video, thank you!
Oh wow, that's amazing. The couple from the other side of me also commented earlier. Hope you had a wonderful time with your daughter!
It's a good sign that I've watched loads of your shows and never heard a bad word about the service.
The service has been spot on everywhere
A double jog at the start. Fabulous. Crossing the road then up the stairs. Set up for a good one
Lol might even treat you to a triple jog next time

Brilliant Gary as always concise compelling delivery, as always Sir keep 'Giving it a go'
Thank you Terry
Although I have coffee at breakfast at home, I am just amazed that tea wasn’t available. Cooked breakfast is salty and tea is more refreshing.
I agree very strange
When I first heard of the trotter baked beans it got me! What a stunning breakfast, love hawksmoor
Great to hear Steven 👍
Bone marrow on sourdough ... thats enough to convice me!! I can't wait to experience that!

@@GaryEats "smart price" lasagne ain't lasagne...
It’s £25 for breakfast.
£50 is the 2 person breakfast. £25 for a breakfast is still pricy but it's a big difference
Thanks for another good review.....70K now great news
My pleasure Tracy, thank you
I've come away from this video with a far more positive impression of this place than I was expecting. Yes, it's expensive - but I thought the quality of that meal looked exceptionally good, and crucially, I thought it looked like it was worth the money. When I see some of the prices you've paid for far, far worse than this, I don't have a problem with this being £50 for two. And that restaurant looks like it has a very pleasant ambience - I would love to go there. Great video as always, Gary!
Thank you that’s really appreciated and also thanks for watching and commenting
Good, interesting review, subjective as well which is what we like to hear from a reviewer. Only issue I would have with the price besides the portions is the 12.5% service charge. Staying at the Duke of Marlborough Hotel in Woodstock recently I asked for the charge to be taken off the bill, to which the female supervisor objected & loudly began an argument. Out of embarrassment I relented but walked out fuming, vowing never to pay a service charge again!!
That is completely wrong, you pay a service charge if you think it’s deserved for the waiting staff. It’s not obligatory in law so if you don’t want to pay then never do it. I’m sorry you had a bad experience
Great video as always, but echo most peoples comments, £50 for breakfast for 2 is sickening. There is no way the ingerdients cost anyhwere near that, cant justify the price. Love your reviews gary, easly by far the best food reviewer on youtube.
Agreed David, too pricey. Thanks so much mate
So buy one of your hoody’s for £40 instead?
@@leekemp1398 Lee, you keep going down other comments saying the same thing. It's my opinion, you have yours. I gave it a very good score and you are still complaining about it.
Rent and energy prices are off the scale. Not sure what people expect.
@@siturl5834 whilst energy prices are high, and rent is dependant on the deal you have with the landlord (alot of commercial rents are quite reasonable, as there are more properties available than businesses wanting them), I agree those are a contributing factor to determining prices, but £50 for a breakfast for two is not reasonable and not value for money. As people have mentioned, you can do a weekly shop for that, I feed my family for a while week with fresh food (all fresh meat and veg) for less than that. For the majority of people, those prices are out of reach, but not only that, most people can't understand the justification of those prices, which seems more than a tad expensive.
Gary, as a foodie myself I love your videos. You're eloquent, funny and informative and an absolute Gentleman. What also makes me chuckle is your informal 'uniform' of a nice shirt, blue trousers, trainers, gilet and on colder days a jumper! Keep it up, you're thoroughly entertaining and as always...🤣!x
That’s very kind to say Gareth thank you, on tonight’s video I get dressed up 😂😂
@GaryEats I'll definitely be watching that! But you always look stylish fella!
I've been inspired by your breakfast videos so treating myself to an all in one skillet Welsh breakfast today.
as always, let's enjoy another video. Thanks, Gary xx.
Many thanks my friend
Hi Gary, wow for £50 you would have thought the presentation could have been better,😊❤ as well as the portion size, never been anywhere for breakfast where you only get one piece of everything 😮, love sourdough bread 😊 at least you had something to fill you up 😊❤ glad you feeding the cameraman more these days 😊❤ thank you for another great review 😊❤
Yes I would agree with you Trudy. Take care and thank you
Breakfast looked great good quality selection would i pay that much, definitely, Graat video Gary. All the very best Tim 😊
I think it still needs work arm nut thank you
Banging review again mate.. bone marrow looks class.
The bone marrow at Hawksmoor is beautiful!
Thank you. Yes, the bone marrow was delicious
Now that the tourists are back in London, this is a great option for them, the Wolseley always used to be the best Breakfast in Mayfair, but since Corbin and King are no longer involved standards have dropped massively. At £25 a head for the centre of Mayfair, I think that's pretty decent value, considering the quality of the ingredients.
I've been to the Wolseley and must say, it was fantastic
@@GaryEats It used to be, but the original owners were forced out about 18 months ago and the standards have slipped massively. I used to have breakfast there regularly on a Saturday, can't go there any longer it's just not the same level of service, which for the price you expect.
Didn't know about the new owners atThe Wolseley. What a shame if standards have slipped in what used to be one of London's great restaurant institutions, especially for breakfast. :(
@@walterekurtz4320 Sadly so, Jeremy King is going to be re-opening the famous Simpson's on the Strand at some point late this year, it will be everything that the Wolseley used to be and more I suspect.
What is wrong with you people? As a child, my main meal was school lunch and something later in the day. £25 decent value my arse, Mayfair who the hell wants to live there, you do live in a bubble.
Great review Gary. Look forward to Hawksmoor rolling this out to other restaurants
Thank you Gary I think it needs more thinking about before rolling it nationwide
Gary, another great video. 👍🏼
I always watch you and your reviews with absolute joy and pleasure.
Waiting already for the next one. 🤓
Best wishes from Germany ☺️☺️☺️
Thanks so much Christian. Would love to come to Germany soon 👍
What, another breakfast???
And what about that lighting???
Just kidding, always pleased to see more content mate.
Lol Lee, I have to say... I burst out laughing. Cheers mate
Trotter baked beans. Does the water come from Peckham Spring?
The black pudding has a perfect love heart ❤️
It was great but a little too pricey
@@GaryEatsTotally agree.
Gary is winning at life. Doing well for himself and well deserved. I enjoy seeing all this expensive dining, although I'll never go myself because I'm a Yorkshireman haha.
Same
Thank you I’m enjoying doing the videos 👍👍
I wish we had found your channel back when you started it. I'm a Canadian and in London right now, have been for two weeks. We've gone to two of the restaurants you recommended and they were wonderful. We went to the restaurant you're reviewing now for dinner. Loved it.
That’s absolutely fantastic Mary and thank you for watching and commenting 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks for a good honest review Gary. We all need a treat now and again.
It’s definitely one for a special occasion
Gary if you go to Dublin, Ireland you need to go to Gallaghers Boxty House. They make the most delicious potato pancakes with fillings of your choice like chicken and bacon, beef and lamb. They have w choice of 3 different Irish stews and you can have coffee with Baileys cresm. I think it would be your type of place. You also need to go to Bean Hive, if you want to try the traditional Irish breakfast or Ulster Fry with generous portions.
This had now gone on my list thank you 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
I used to work in Moira! Nice to see you enjoy their food. If I’m not mistaken that sugar pit bacon is probably from Moira too as I see it in Haanans butchers
The quality of ingredients is no doubt a step above
£4.50 in keighleystan
😂😂
What is it called?
Quality of food looked great for a breakfast, but that’s what it was…a breakfast. I wouldn’t personally be going out my way to spend £56 on a morning meal for two
Yes Colin, I have to agree with you
Might just depend on who you were with mate
£56 quid once for a fantastic meal between 2 on a special,🤷 it not that ridiculous, a normal breakfast in london can cost 15/17 quid per person and it's nowhere near that level
The bacon chop was brined hence the saltiness taste brings out a juicy flavor! Had the cameraman eaten the mushrooms before filming I never saw them? Great review Gary!
Thank you for the information and thank you very much, John
Love the videos, but those watching and also Gary just need to understand that this is one of the best steakhouses in the world, the quality is in the cooking and bringing the best out of the flavours through what they source and methods/techniques the chefs use in those kitchens. It's a fine dining steak house with awards and top Ingredients hence the price. Not a spoons pushing quantity at terrible quality. Its just hard watching this one when the negative is a sausage and beans. But when eating it your amazed, that's what their aim is, and they've achieved it, price is justified👌
It’s rated number 2 Matt in the world, thank you for your understanding on this one and I’d imagine you’ve visited Hawksmoor yourself 👍
Worth the price considering the surroundings, great stuff Gary
I would want old sausage fingers to cook it for that price.
Thank you!
Just love Gary, he's so Alan Partridge esque, but in the best way! Addicted to these videos
I think that’s a compliment and thank you 😊
I thought you were a bit stingy today, Gary. The best bacon, the best sausage, the best black pudding, the best bone marrow, a special brown sauce gravy. and coming out not over full but comfortable in a really classy environment. C'mon my friend, it's got to be a nine, whatever your new subscribers say. It's high end, Central London, and it's there for those with money to spare. It was busy, so there's a place in the market for any couple who want to spend £56.50 on a classy breakfast. Only one thing was missing. No tea!!
The lack of tea was disappointing and I felt the portion was a little small for what you pay.
I thought the quality was excellent but just lacking in one or two other departments. I think Hawksmoor is excellent and their steaks divine but I wanted a bit more to edge it closer to 9!
Looked like quality, but presentation was poor, all just dumped on top, I've never heard of Bone Marrow as food? £50 too expensive. Good review.
The bone marrow at Hawksmoor is utterly indulgent gorgeousness - when you see it it comes across as maybe a bit gross but by god it’s beautiful.
My Bull mastiff loves that lol, never thought to try it myself lol
Fair enough! Bone Marrow is absolutely delicious, I would recommend giving it a go and thank you
@@gazbradsteryou just try and get it back from your pup mate and then you'll know
Very popular up until about 1910. Very nutritious. They even had a bone marrow spoon to scoop out the marrow from inside.
Been to Hawksmoor Air Street several times in the past although not for breakfast! It's somewhat expensive but every time, it's been an absolutely amazing dining experience. Great food and the staff are outstanding. Felt like royalty :)
Thank you for letting me know 👌
Got very sick. Got robbed outside😮😢
not generous enough on the portions to justify the price
Total tip off.
Even a top hotel wouldn’t dare charge more than £30 to £35 for a breakfast.
Yep. That's why I knocked a couple of points off
Hi Gary, I am new to your channel. Absolutely fantastic videos and reviews. Keep em coming.
That’s very kind to say, thank you very much
Hash Browns on an English breakfast NO NO NO.
I do agree especially on this one
Hash browns are awesome
I love watching you enjoy your food Gary! If you ever come to Ireland, you have to try Athea black pudding; it's made by a small family-run company in west Limerick, and they also make superior white pudding and sausages.
I will Lee as off to Adare very soon
Excellent video and brilliant review as always!!
But measly on the portion considering the price. What was the name of the black pudding again? Never had Stornoway BP but am a lover of the Clonakilty and Irish BP. Hope all is well, take care
It was Moira black pudding Peter and we agree it needs better portions and thank you as always
No tea!. Got to have tea with yor breakfast. As for gravy with breakfast. Never heard of that before. Thanks for another great review Gary.
Thanks for commenting John, no tea was just strange 🤷♂️
I think the acid test of any cooked breakfast is if the tomato is charred on top and soft/cooked in the middle. If so the rest will be great.
It was a good tomato
Hi Gary, was the water included in the bill?
The breakfast looked great but not enough of it for two at that price. The bone marrow and the HP gravy were interesting ideas, well done. The place looks amazing too. Spacious and comfortable. I do agree with an 8 and I shall definitely pay a visit. I think a nice cuppa would've been nice with that too. Thanks ever so much, enjoyed watching. Much appreciated.
Yes I think so Mohammad! Nice but overpriced in my opinion
Gary your vids are great and I'm sure you're going to keep getting loads more subs. Look how many have viewed this already in 5 days! The one at Neil Morrissey's pub was good and the Wimpy one... and the Phaal curry. I keep coming back anyway. 👍
Wow, thanks my friend
Gary I'm from northern Ireland and would love to get hold of some of that black pudding . just couldn't get the name of it clearly in the video . who makes it please?
I will have to come back to you, Richard, as I can’t remember my apologies
@@GaryEatsI did a little research on the hawksmoor site and it turns out their bacon sausages and black pudding come from Hannon meats in Moira. a place I have been many times. top quality produce. it featured recently in Rick Steins BBC show
Great as always Gary. You should do a Fazenda they have ones in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and London. Have a look. Its good but very strange. They have a central buffet. You sit down and have whats like a card thats red on one side and green on the other. Red means dont want to be served green means you do....the waiters come around with loads of freshly made different cuts of meat...sausages to steaks and if your card is green offer them at your table, and it never stops they just keep coming round....would be a very good video for you to review.
I’ll take a look James thank you
Really good channel and videos, Gary you have quite the tv presenter persona about you, very polished and professional! I can see why your channel is becoming so popular. Please try Yu and you chinese restaurant in copster green blackburn. They featured on gordon Ramsay's best restaurant and were voted best chinese in country. Really enjoy the food their and the staff are excellent also. Charlies chinese curry is a must when you go there.
Keep up the good work!!!
That is very kind to say, and I will take a look at your recommendations
Ha Gary! Looked really nice, especially that chop and the gravy! The only thing I can come up with regarding the slightly off breakfast times is that its kitchen staff related.
You could be right thank you
That’s okay. The breakfast videos are my favorite. I love a full English breakfast, but it’s rare to find them in the USA! I can vicariously enjoy them through your videos!
Glad you like them!
Hi Gary, thanks for another great review- poor show no cup of tea was on offer. Perhaps another bacon chop would have been good, and the beans a little more saucy! Loving all your content and friendly calming manner. The new catch phrase in our house is, "Let's give it a go" !! Can't wait for your next video, keep them coming. All the best to you and Cameraman!
Thank you Becky a very kind comment and I agree with your observations completely
Looks very nice but for the price, I'll go to Denny's. Sourdough bread is hugely popular in San Francisco - sold everywhere. However, it often comes with a "do not toast" warning. But no tea at breakfast?
The ingredients are exceptional, but it still needs some work in my opinion
Gary, can you please review the ding options at The Shard Hotel? Thanks ❤❤❤
Cor that is an expensive one lol
Have to say it that Breakfast looks delicious and the fact it has soo many different unique things on there such as Bone Marrow really makes me want to visit and try it! Great video!
Thank you Edward this is one for that special occasion
Hi Gary, that looked marvellous. I have tried most black and white pudding from Northern Ireland. You were making me hungry. Most of my family in England are in Portsmouth Wonder would you do your show from there some time. As always honest reviews. Thank you
I will be in a few months time Gary as love Portsmouth 🍺👌
That was a very interesting review Gary. It has the feel of an alternative to a mixed grill at lunchtime rather than a breakfast and the menu time you mention appears to concur with that idea. Cannot deny that Hawksmoor know how to serve meat with quality and style. I will stick to a cafe for my full English but this was an interesting idea for a lunch.
It’s a great idea Richard but needs more thought to make it perfect
My husband, daughter and her partner, and I had a sumptuous breakfast at Raffles Hotel, Singapore. It was once in a lifetime event, and it was amazing. Cost $NZ400., for 4, approximately 200 pounds. It was unlimited, but there is a limit to what one can eat in one sitting, as you know. It was a very special thing to do, even a wee stool provided for my handbag! We would never spend that much in NZ for breakfast, even for a special occasion - possibly a third to half that.
For that price, I would be upset that someone did a small shit in my bag.
I never got a chance to do the Hawksmoor breakfast so was excited to see it available again - but it doesn't look quite as good as before. For the money, I want it to look great on the table.
I do love the Air Street location.
Thanks for another great video!
Thank you Mat, I understand it’s different from the original offer which was far better
Gary I m sitting here in Johor Bahru Malaysia before flying back to the UK tonight and watching this makes me yearn for a full English breakfast again
The food here is great but I m still not used to curry noodles in the morning!
Love your videos and talking to my son’s Nepalese friend recently I mentioned you and he told me his family watch you as well !
Your influence is growing worldwide and justly deserved
Keep those videos coming 😊
Wow that’s amazing to hear Simon, I’m flabbergasted 😮
Great review as usual Gary. Was there a name of the NIR black pudding?. I missed it I dont know if you saif more of those black puddings or moras black pudding but nothing comes up on a search.
Moyra black pudding 👍
@@GaryEats hmmm nothing seems to come up on a google search.
Might be McCartneys of Moira?
looks great gary but i could probably get 6 or 7 decent breakfasts elsewhere with tea and coffee mate great vlog as usual cheers
Absolutely Tony. Thanks mate
*I personally have not seen,read ,heard or watched such a Top Class Breakfast- Ever in my life and I’m left Amazed 😮👌🔥👏🏻👏🏻*
Wow wow wow - never seen bacon chop like that,never seen hp gravy,never seen beans or indeed even black pudding like that,so I adored watching this review with high interest- wow again
What a unique find. Some questions. Did they do this for one person or are these available as extras? And what was the sweetness you referred to on the bacon?was there a sweet glaze? Would love to go there for a birthday treat in the summer- that’s how I feel about this place. Expensive yes,but you can see the reasons why- not comparable with any of the breakfast reviews I have watched Gary.
This was definitely one for you and I understand why 👍👍
@@GaryEats lol.one of my top 5- all time firm favourites is a breakfast ☺️☺️👌
Black pudding must be a Northern thing. Northerners do black pudding for breakfast. Southerners do steak and chips...washed down with a bottle of Chataeu Lafite.
One likes to think so Gary 😂
