I'm going to join the other regional Brits and say, "HOW MUCH!?" Here in West Yorkshire, I can't think of anywhere that charges as much as £12 for a fry up. A fiver is standard - eight quid if you want to push the boat out - maybe up to a tenner for a belly-buster.
Transport Cafés are the best place for full English. The Redbeck Motel in Wakefield serves them from £4.50 to just under six quid. The top price one is called the "breakfast special" and is not for the faint-hearted. Strong tea, lost coffee, cheap white bread and furniture bolted to the floor. THAT'S where you get a good breakfast.
Seriously, hell, I'm in East London and even round here I can only think of one place that gets close to twelve quid (hipster place, admittedly very nice), most places you'd be looking at five or six quid (with a mug of tea included whether you like it or not...) for two egg, two bacon, chips or some other potatoey thing, mushrooms, two sausages and toast (my standard order as a non-bean/tomato person...) (Also sourdough fried bread sounds like an abomination, use normal bread for Pete's sake.)
Honestly if you ever go hunting for a good and cheap fry up again I’d suggest heading for the most unassuming looking place with all the tradesmen in it😁 Great video guys I’m loving all your reactions to the uk 😂
Exactly right Emma! I am a tradesman working all around London and i know so many great cafes i should write a book! Good decent priced 'English' cafes are however becoming thin on the ground, especially transport cafes. Want a tip, if you are out and about trying to find decent priced food, ask a street cleaner or the bin men. They know all the tucked away places!
That's bubble and squeak, it's a mix of boiled cabbage and potatoes that's then fried. Used to be a way of using up the leftovers of a roast dinner and it gets its name from the noise the cabbage makes when its being fried.
Why on earth does breakfast come with those beans? Beans make me fart. I would loose all my friends if ate those every morning. I noticed they did not eat the black pudding, so I am wondering what is in that?
@@k.c.4875 Hi I'm afraid to tell you that black pudding is mainly pigs blood but I just love the stuff especially with tinned tomatoes on top - absolutely delicious
Those prices were all scandalous, especially the 'cheap' one at £8.50. That is not a greasy spoon price. I live 200 miles from London but know you can get better value than that there. I live in the Manchester area and you can get a far bigger, and probably better, full English for around half that. If they tried charging prices like that around here, they'd soon be out of business
I live in Central London and greasy spoons are at least 7 pounds for a full English. if you want a proper one with black pudding and bubble and squeak that's at least 8 pounds so yeah. things are expensive here.
North 1 South divide again! You can get a good quality full English breakfast for half the price 'Up North'! I pay around £4 - £5 for a traditional large breakfast and for £10 can get an unlimited 'all you can eat' cooked breakfast. I guess it's not just the North / South Divide... as with most major cities London is naturally going to cost a lot more than other parts of the country. I'm sure there are places down south that are much cheaper than what you guys paid! We also have fried bread, black pudding and hash browns as standard up north! Glad to see you both trying our national breakfast though! 🍳👍
Hello from Naples, Florida. Wow, all three breakfasts look delicious. #2 was our favorite. Thank you so much for sharing this part of the world with us. 👍💯
Everything sounds very expensive - In my experience - the cheaper greasy spoon breakfasts are the best - by a country mile (and the tastiest ) - especially if you get out of London - try the Staffordshire oatcake for a start - there are plenty of local variations of the English breakfast.
I love this idea! And i love that people are sharing where else to get a good breakfast. I always need recommendations :) We went to duck & waffle last year...I think we were sat at the same table! We went for dinner and loved the duck and waffle dish, too.
I am from Wales, I had a fantastic 30-year career with the Met police and for the last three of those, I worked out of Lambeth. I spent maybe six mornings of those 3 years, before going onto major policing matters, eating a full English in this location - we had the whole of London to choose from - I can honestly say, this was the best proper breakfast I have had anywhere or anytime in my entire pan-London career. The bonus was, everyone ordered something different from the guy you see at 14.46, but, like, 30 minutes later, he pulled it straight from memory for your bill without any error!! It never failed to amaze me. Oh, and the food is F****ng amazing. I am retired now and living over 140 miles away. But I loved that place - Track it down. tell me I'm wrong.
£12 was the cheaper end of the scale??? Average cafe price in my area for that would be £6.60 which would include tea and toast. You shouldn’t mention coming to London, you’ll have all the northerners bleeting about it ...... bless ‘em 😂😂👍
You need to make friends with some locals who will treat you to a real homemade English breakfast..you would expect back bacon, two eggs, two quality sausages, black pudding, fried bread, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, bread and butter and possibly nice crisp chips all washed down with a pot of tea..Yorkshire, PG Tips etc..cost per head three quid or so. This should keep you going till supper.
The second place the beans look like they where kept warm for a long time and thickened up, its nice but I don't think they where fancy beans. I cook my beans in a ramekin with the bacon and sausage in a oven if I am being lazy and the beans end up looking like that. Also that bacon was well underdone that fat needed to be crispy, also its not a real full breakfast/fry-up without black pudding. The bread was not fried that was just toasted. I wouldn't of paid £14 for it but I like my old school fry-ups. Not a great place to eat but you need to do a Wetherspoon at least once when in the UK, also their all-day breakfast is £4.75. But great video.
If you ever get the chance to come to Reading (35 miles West of London) a little cafe called "Munchees" does the same Full English as the 1st place you went to but for around £5, you don't have to book plus American 50's style booth seating. Highly recommended.
Try the £36 breakfast at the Dorchester. A full English Breakfast can include all sorts of items including a first course of porridge, devilled ox kidney, fried onions and bubble and squeak.
Jeeeez...they all saw you coming, I live in London and a good breakfast at half the prices you paid for yours is available everywhere ...even a posh brekkie isn’t that much !
You can get a traditional English breakfast for less then £4 at a Wetherspoons and less then £1.50 for unlimited tea, coffee hot chocolate etc. Also you can get an unlimited Breakfast for less then £5 at Toby Carvery and have unlimited Tea or Coffee for around £2
Do try a Weatherspoons, Toby Inn or Beefeater for Breakfast while you are here... and definitely if you are out of London. Standard fare but far better value (the latter two do a buffet style so you pick your favourites). Even the big supermarkets do a decent and really cheap breakfast... Morrisons is one of the best. A real Greasy Spoon is easy to spot because the workmen and lorry drivers park as close as they can. Not available in central London... unless you know a local cabbie or scaffolder... they always know!
For a few years i was a truck driver and the 1st thing you learn is eat where the truck drivers go, Cheap good food and big portions but careful where you park as i saw a VW Golf with german plates boxed in by trucks at a transport cafe but im sure they got a good breakfast!
The cheapest here in the NW of England is the Pound Cafe. Their coffee is £1 -it's freshly made but I doubt any American would tolerate it. It's just hot and wet. The breakfast items are about 30p each and perfectly edible. Available all day. That's just as well, I've never been able to stomach a greasy cooked breakfast. I always have a cappuccino and pain au chocolate.
What you have to keep in mind is those are London prices. Up here in the north £10 is about the ma you would pay for the highest quality breakfast. About £8 for middle quality and no more than £5 for the greesy spoon option.
I live in the South East outside of London and £8.50 would get you a huge breakfast of pretty good quality in a greasy spoon. Probably about £5.50-£6.00 for a traditional breakfast.
If you're near Waterloo Railway Station try the various cafe's in Lower Marsh. Average price for a breakfast is £5-6 which is excellent value for central London.
Even the "cheapest" one sounds quite expensive, but I guess its because you are in London. Only 30 mins drive from central where i live you can get a big breakfast for between £6-£7.50.
Even thats on the steep side come to Glasgow get a Scottish breakfast everything you would get in a full emglosh plus tattie scone sqaure sausage bksck pudding and depending where a bot or 2 bots of sliced haggis plus toast or a roll and tea or coffee for at the very most a fiver
Hi i live 30 miles south of London in Surrey and i can get the biggest breakfast that you had but better quality and for £5.50 so it goes to show how all bigger cities charger fortune, great show.
I'm from the central U.S., and until I heard of the 'full English', I never thought anyone besides my depression era dad ate tomatoes and beans at breakfast! Of course, he would eat tomatoes and beans anytime! I remember back in the 70s when I was a kid at home..breakfast on Saturday was bacon..(U.S. style..very crisp), basted eggs, fried potatoes, what we call biscuits with gravy or jelly (jam or preserves)..and strong black coffee. Hot tea was a special event, on the coldest of winter mornings, and I never saw my dad consume tea of any kind (hot or iced). I remember making 'sun tea' in the summer..place tea bags in a large container of cold water and let it sit out in the hot Missouri sun for a couple of hours!. Then add sugar and lots of ice! Great memories!
I swear to you, the super sausage in Northamptonshire/Towcester is the best in the UK.. It's got character too it's a bikers cafe..if you go near there its a must..
To be honest, the nearest thing to a "proper english breakfast" was the first stop. As someone has previously mentioned you can get a very reasonable "Full English" for under £8 including a coffee/tea in a Wetherspoons Pub.
@@nick260682 I can understand that, but I cannot stand these posy overpriced poncey palaces that charge ridiculous amounts of money for something that bears scant resemblance to a true authentic English Breakfast.
You can put brown sauce on anything you want!! I love the stuff as well and have tried it with most things! Everyone saying in the comments about the price and how they can get it cheaper. guys its London........ they add at least £5 on everything just because also you can't really put a price on the experience of it all. I'm happy that they are happy!
I'd never pay more than £6 for a full English. My local cafe in Devon does a full blow out for £5.95. I usually go for the £3.95 option - sausage, bacon, egg, beans, fried bread and a cup of tea.
Gingers Cafe in Bradford, west Yorkshire.... "The workman" 2 bacon 2 sausage 2 eggs Hash brown Beans Tomatoes Fried bread Mushrooms Tea/coffee Toast Just a straight fiver
I like a full English breakfast because I really like having a little of everything on my plate. I also like a full American breakfast, with eggs, home fries, bacon sausage ham and some pancakes! Maybe some biscuits (American style buttermilk biscuits) and sausage gravy on the side! Yum.
Terry is having a bubble bath with those prices £8.50 for that small breakfast over £2 per item i can get that for £4.30 with a slice how you like it and tea or coffee and a full english including the fried slice and tea or coffee for below £7
The Galeri in Caernarfon. £6.99 for a delicious breakfast and coffee. Oh, and looking over Caernarfon Marina and the Menai Straits thrown in for free 😊
Used to work around the corner from Terry's - used to be a lot cheaper, but since all of the social media attention, has gone up a lot over the years, could have tried the Giggling Sausage opposite, which is cheaper, but Terry's does have much better quality.
Wow I cant believe how much you paid for a fry up. We just visited the UK and Ireland nowhere did we pay anywhere close to 10 quid for a fry up and all of ours included toast and tea or coffee. Most of ours were around 6 quid and that was places like Dublin, London, Edinburgh etc. and we weren't looking for cheap either, that just seem the average price.
That’s expensive even in normal London, but they were in tourist London, which is way more expensive that normal London. When I was going into work before the unpleasantness. Our company canteen in East London, which isn’t subsidised would have charged about £4 for the small and £6 for the larger!
Well you were in London so expected that prices are a bit more than the rest of the country. Small cafes are usually good value. Or the Toby Carvery chain where you can help yourself to as much as you want. Last time I visited less than 5 pounds for breakfast.
If you go outside London you can get double what you got on the cheap breakfast for no more that £6 to £7. The cafe that all the builders and tradesmen are in normally the best.
Amazin vid guys....very interesting what you come up with! Sooo practical and interesting and helpful and just plain fun and enjoyable!!! U make great vids!!!!!
One thing to remember, even when you're being ripped off, is that you can usually subtract the cost of a midday meal because a good full English will last till the evening. Also, no black pudding, no full marks (bonus marks if it's proper Bury black pudding).
No beans on the last Meal THATS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL 😜😀 shows how expensive it is in London where I am in the UK a standard breakfast is £4.95 and a double so 2 eggs 2 sausages 2 hashbrowns ect 2 of everything is £6.95 I'm from Devon too so it's fresh local produce
I'm glad for the comments for this video, taking notes of all the places suggested, thank you! A quick question, is it the norm for people to take home any leftovers from breakfast? In the States it happens all the time especially if you order a gut buster on the menu (which can be close to the $10 price point, but most breakfasts are in the $6- $8 range for eggs, bacon/sausage/ham, buttered toast, and a fried potato of sorts like hash browns or home fries).
Just in case you need somebody else to tell you, it is definitely possible to get a serviceable full English cheaper than any of those. Even in London, but especially up North.
@@rogoth01themasterwizard11 i would agree and im a 100% born cockney, bred in dagenham and for the last almist 2p years have lived up north. Better fresher food, friendlier people, nicer views. Not that down south is totally shit but there is deffo a quality difference. The best full english ive ever had other than home cooked however was at the cafe inside Asda in Dagenham. They are the cafe equivalent of masterchef in there!
£12 is mid to high for a fry up... £6-7 is normal for a FULL English. 👍🇬🇧
I'm going to join the other regional Brits and say, "HOW MUCH!?"
Here in West Yorkshire, I can't think of anywhere that charges as much as £12 for a fry up. A fiver is standard - eight quid if you want to push the boat out - maybe up to a tenner for a belly-buster.
Tony Casey yay, for West Yorkshire! If a full English with 2 of everything, costs more than £8 you’re being ripped off!
No chance mate. That was a greasy spoon for tourists. Most cafe are charmless but cheap!
Transport Cafés are the best place for full English.
The Redbeck Motel in Wakefield serves them from £4.50 to just under six quid. The top price one is called the "breakfast special" and is not for the faint-hearted. Strong tea, lost coffee, cheap white bread and furniture bolted to the floor. THAT'S where you get a good breakfast.

The old transport cafes, mainly for lorry drivers, used to be the best place for breakfast back in the 1950s/60s. 5,000,000 flies can't be wrong.
Hahaha
Defo see whats parked up round back, if its got 3 or more trucks out back its worth stopping.
Honestly if you ever go hunting for a good and cheap fry up again I’d suggest heading for the most unassuming looking place with all the tradesmen in it😁 Great video guys I’m loving all your reactions to the uk 😂

Ian Livsey sane in Kent too. And in other places in London.
I live in an affluent part of South West London yet my local greasy spoon is way cheaper than £8, and that includes tea!
I pay £6.50 for a big breakfast, bacon, beans, two eggs two sausages, black pud, bubble, fried bread and coffee.

Branston Baked Beans taste so much nicer than Heinz, and the Sauce is Thicker! 🤔 😋
Boooo!!! Blasphemy!!!😜
Must admit I prefer Branston. But then I live just down the road from Branston!
Average price outside of London is about 5 pounds for a breakfast and 8 pounds for a belly buster.

Better value in a transport cafe or Wetherspoons. Cheaper too.
The $$$ breakfast place sausage looked like something you would find in a toilet. Yuck!

Wetherspoons, good food but often served on a cold plate so food gets cold quickly. Insist on warm plate.

@@ravensoulmetal8466 That's very true. :-)
In my part of the UK, East Midlands, we pay around £3.50 for the small breakfast and £5-6 for a breakfast with everything on.
That’s just London prices anywhere else in the uk you could pick up a good full English for about 5-8 quid
Restaurant prices are a function of the cost of real estate. Central London very expensive.
And the channel keeps growing!
Try the £36 breakfast at the Dorchester. A full English Breakfast can include all sorts of items including a first course of porridge, devilled ox kidney, fried onions and bubble and squeak.

£16 for the breakfast on day #3, I would say that’s acceptable with the view, ambience and quality of food.
It’s not a “sausage” almost. It’s a just a sausage
The service charge isn’t mandatory, don’t pay it!
Black pudding is a Lancashire dish. In Yorkshire we call it Black Dag. One of my favourites...
Give me a greasy spoon any day, I don't even like sourdough never understood why it's suppose to be more "upmarket".
London prices can vary a lot depending on the area of London. You can still get some good quality bargains if you know where to look
That streaky bacon hasn't been cooked at a high enough temperature to crisp up the fat. It should be grilled at 220° or fried over a good flame.
That isn't streaky bacon, that is short back bacon.
You can get a traditional English breakfast for less then £4 at a Wetherspoons and less then £1.50 for unlimited tea, coffee hot chocolate etc. Also you can get an unlimited Breakfast for less then £5 at Toby Carvery and have unlimited Tea or Coffee for around £2

If you wanna get a cheap english breakfast. You MUST go to wetherspoons. Or as brits say “spoons”. They are the go to for cheap alcohol and food!
You should go to Wetherspoons pubs which do breakfasts for about £5-£7 depending on the locatity and they are open from about 7am

I'm happy that they are happy!
The beans in the second place are way over done!
I'd never pay more than £6 for a full English. My local cafe in Devon does a full blow out for £5.95.
I usually go for the £3.95 option - sausage, bacon, egg, beans, fried bread and a cup of tea.
That first cafe was obviously a tourist trap, the union jack and olde worlde pictures on the wall were a giveaway.
How much...…. come to Suffolk next time, Southwold, Aldeburgh, Thorpeness, Walberswick, Lavenham so many lovely places, so much food..
All of these prices are way higher than what I would ever pay for a English breakfast 😂
Gingers Cafe in Bradford, west Yorkshire....
"The workman"
2 bacon
2 sausage
2 eggs
Hash brown
Beans
Tomatoes
Fried bread
Mushrooms
Tea/coffee
Toast
Just a straight fiver
Defo London prices ridicoulous that first breakfast for 12 pounds would be like a fiver anywhere else in the country.
I like a full English breakfast because I really like having a little of everything on my plate. I also like a full American breakfast, with eggs, home fries, bacon sausage ham and some pancakes! Maybe some biscuits (American style buttermilk biscuits) and sausage gravy on the side! Yum.
Terry is having a bubble bath with those prices £8.50 for that small breakfast over £2 per item i can get that for £4.30 with a slice how you like it and tea or coffee and a full english including the fried slice and tea or coffee for below £7
London is not a good place to do this test everything is well over priced
The Galeri in Caernarfon. £6.99 for a delicious breakfast and coffee. Oh, and looking over Caernarfon Marina and the Menai Straits thrown in for free 😊
Brown sauce - attagirl!
The café that I work at in North London serves Breakfast for £3.95 with toast and a free tea! Shocked by the £8.50 but they all look good though
Used to work around the corner from Terry's - used to be a lot cheaper, but since all of the social media attention, has gone up a lot over the years, could have tried the Giggling Sausage opposite, which is cheaper, but Terry's does have much better quality.
Ahhh the knife and fork arrangement when you were finished upset me 😂😂😂
Wow I cant believe how much you paid for a fry up. We just visited the UK and Ireland nowhere did we pay anywhere close to 10 quid for a fry up and all of ours included toast and tea or coffee. Most of ours were around 6 quid and that was places like Dublin, London, Edinburgh etc. and we weren't looking for cheap either, that just seem the average price.
Ashley you look great in that Green Irish Wool sweater, nothing better to wear in the UK!
That’s expensive even in normal London, but they were in tourist London, which is way more expensive that normal London. When I was going into work before the unpleasantness. Our company canteen in East London, which isn’t subsidised would have charged about £4 for the small and £6 for the larger!
loved the view from the third caff, amazing!
......great view of that red tower crane up there on the top floor.....love your enthusiasm though...so infectious.....
Out here in rural Britain you can get a full English breakfast for around £6.50. London prices are such a rip-off.
Well you were in London so expected that prices are a bit more than the rest of the country. Small cafes are usually good value. Or the Toby Carvery chain where you can help yourself to as much as you want. Last time I visited less than 5 pounds for breakfast.
If you go outside London you can get double what you got on the cheap breakfast for no more that £6 to £7. The cafe that all the builders and tradesmen are in normally the best.
Amazin vid guys....very interesting what you come up with! Sooo practical and interesting and helpful and just plain fun and enjoyable!!! U make great vids!!!!!
One thing to remember, even when you're being ripped off, is that you can usually subtract the cost of a midday meal because a good full English will last till the evening. Also, no black pudding, no full marks (bonus marks if it's proper Bury black pudding).
Going on the vid as posted, it looks like they barely touched the black pud
@@rupert9208 I noticed. Sacrilege.
Wow! £14 buys two Large Full English Breakfasts with hash browns, fried bread, toast and tea or coffee but it is in West Wales
Plz clarify that alot of usa in da south dont eat sausage links we eat sausage patties
so well done.... Love London
No beans on the last Meal THATS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL 😜😀 shows how expensive it is in London where I am in the UK a standard breakfast is £4.95 and a double so 2 eggs 2 sausages 2 hashbrowns ect 2 of everything is £6.95 I'm from Devon too so it's fresh local produce
I'm glad for the comments for this video, taking notes of all the places suggested, thank you! A quick question, is it the norm for people to take home any leftovers from breakfast? In the States it happens all the time especially if you order a gut buster on the menu (which can be close to the $10 price point, but most breakfasts are in the $6- $8 range for eggs, bacon/sausage/ham, buttered toast, and a fried potato of sorts like hash browns or home fries).
Just in case you need somebody else to tell you, it is definitely possible to get a serviceable full English cheaper than any of those. Even in London, but especially up North.
some might even say that up north is where the best stuff is found
@@rogoth01themasterwizard11 i would agree and im a 100% born cockney, bred in dagenham and for the last almist 2p years have lived up north. Better fresher food, friendlier people, nicer views. Not that down south is totally shit but there is deffo a quality difference. The best full english ive ever had other than home cooked however was at the cafe inside Asda in Dagenham. They are the cafe equivalent of masterchef in there!
