it's not fair to mark it down because not having Yorkshire tea you're not in Yorkshire. Take a tea bag with you and only mark the food and service. You can't have Yorkshire tea everywhere you go.
Yorkshire tea is widely available in Wales, I know coz I buy it. We live in a global economy you know 😀 I agree about the Twinings.
Doesn’t tea come from china anyway??
@@garethbusby438 China are massive producers of tea, closely followed by Yorkshire.
@@jimrobertson9011 and India
Welsh Brew is better anyway.
That's not a Welsh Breakfast. Where's the cockles and lava bread???? 😡
exactly!!!
Needs the cockles. 😮
That my friend is NOT a Welsh breakfast, a traditional Welsh breakfast has all the usual of the English but what makes it different is the fried cockles and laverbread (seaweed) which is also fried or can be eaten cold with the breakfast, come on McMaster! Youve let the team down you need to come down to South Wales and try a proper Welsh breakfast, I promise you the cockles and laverbread taste great fried my friend! 😮😊
Lee a proper Welsh breakfast would have laverbread and cockles on it. Laverbread is seaweed... You would have to come to West Wales for this.
Agreed 😊
That is NOT a full Welsh breakfast. Where is the Laverbread ? Typical yorkshire ripoff. No excuses- you can buy tinned laverbread on the internet.
Well said,no cockles on there either !! 🏴
yep, that's a "full English", not a "full Welsh" without the cockles and laverbread
I saw the thumbnail and got excited Mac was gonna try laverbread 😕 Never tried it myself, but I'd definitely give it a go!
You will never find Laverbread on a breakfast in North Wales. Looked a decent breakfast to be fair.
Im a Yorkshire lad but live in wales now for over 20 years that’s not a welsh breakfast where the cockles laverbread ??
What does Lloyd yorkshire mean?
@@nutmatical1042 ???
Welsh breakfast has Penclawdd cockle and laverbread cake. This looks like welsh sourced Full English
Wheres the Lava bread? Cockles? Hmmm.
Im Celtic and Welsh. We're still about. Problem with North wales we a have a south walian government so it looks after South Wales first.
We also have a problem of over tourism and second homes. If you went to Caernarfon, parts of the llyn peninsula, parts of Anglsey and the fringes of Snowdon you would more than likely hear no English.
I'm from a snowdonian family and where we are from its now second homes and airBNB. Its been hollowed out and has turned into a safari park or theme park for rich people.
I should also say the Welsh language you will hear in South Wales is very different to North walian Welsh.
North walian is more grammatically correct with less English sounding words.
All looks high quality, like some have said it’s not a full Welsh but then I’m sure you said it was a captains breakfast anyway. I’m still giving it a 10
Oh ! I kind of liked the green stuff on the egg. Thought it looked nice.
Eggs are steam basted. i.e. fried and covered until the white on the top has cooked. Some like to add a drop of water once the bottom has cooked but I would never advocate adding water to hot oil no matter how little oil there is.
🤷♂️ not seeing any difference from Welsh to English on that plate! Had a long day, maybe missing something…??
My thinking as well 🤷♂️
Welsh sausages are made with mutton not pork
@@toon4life1892 ahh ok! Every day a school day 😉
Thanks for that bud 👍👍
Cocked and lava bread missing
A full Welsh breakfast this is not. A full Welsh breakfast includes Cockles and Lava Bread.
So no different than any other breakfast then lol
This is the problem, in Wales and Scotland. There are too many English, and they get to vote in referendums. You are meeting English, because the Welsh are 'generally' introverted. I am Welsh, so I know. Remember, it's a generalisation.
As I've said before, the Scots are much more open and friendly, and the English are 'generally', borish, & this is often reported on in holiday destinations all over Europe. They should ask if you want herbs on your eggs. I don't think those toms were cooked enough myself. 😁😎
13+ QUID! No sorry this is not the way ahead for the cost of living at the moment I except...
Welsh breakfast is Bacon, Eggs lava bread and Cockles with toast
It’s not a Welsh breakfast though is it.
I think you know full well it isn’t as well.
It's a breakfast and it's in Wales. So it's a Welsh Breakfast
Correct, In Welsh a single F sounds like a V in English but if you see a double F (ff) it sounds like the F in English.
Brekkie looks stunning Lee - nice bend in those sausages 😉 x
Looked good. Get rid of the Hash Browns and replace with Lava Bread and Cockles. You are in Wales
There's more welsh in North than the South,North and South don't like each other
Pure chance that you ended up at an English-run cafe! Northwest Wales is typically pretty damn Welsh, especially Caernarfon and into the inner parts of Anglesey. Gwynedd has, I believe, statistically the highest proportion of Welsh-speakers in the country.
Looks good quality but it’s not a Welsh breakfast plus the mushrooms need cooking in butter I’d rate it an 8 for quality
This and the fish and chips you had from Wales. Both looked some of the best from your vlogs I've seen lately. Thanks 👍
Bit disappointed with your choice here Lee, not with the cafe or the breakfast as that looked very nice. Was hoping you’d have gone to - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and tried pronouncing that instead of an easily pronounced Welsh town. 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Enjoy your time in God's country Lee 👍
Nice breakfast and very nice staff too......................😇
Laver bread, cockles???
Nice brekkie.
Not Welsh brekkie.
Nice video Lee. Make sure enroute to South Wales you visit Newgale Broad Haven and Little Haven on Pembrokeshire coast. Superb coastal area that wont disappoint.
9.5, put a slice of fried bread on there and it would be perfect.
Its a 10 from me and has great customer service and Twinings English breakfast tea is fantastic and you can butter your own toast
On looks alone, I couldn't fault it, looked a crackin breakfast - it's a 10 from me.
imo you eat breakfast wrong!!! you need to put the egg on the toast burst the yolk smear all over then cut a little bit of everything on your fork a dip o brown sauce . ) gl
All looks so nice, Lee,am ganna give another ten 10 ten thank you Wales 👍🤗👍
Her pronunciation of Y Felinheli is correct, except for the Y. It's as Uh (accompanied by the roll of the eyes) in English.
By the looks of it, Y Felinheli has become gentrified. Understandably. It's not surprising you didn't encounter any Welsh - the English have moved in and outnumber us. I'd suggest going round the pubs of Caernarfon to meet Cofi Welsh.
Looked like a lovely English breakfast in Wales.
You’ll have to try a proper welsh breakfast in Swansea with lava bread and cockles 😊
On looks 9.7/10 loses on not being Yorkshire Tea and the grass cuttings on the eggs.
Grass cuttings lol
Seems pricey for Wales. I would ask for it to be cheaper without the black pudding/hash brown/green sprinkled stuff.
May be just your accent Lee but you keep saying Welch not Welsh - Eden may have to smuggle Yorkshire Tea in over the border or wait until Sean Bean films something there and he can load his boot full when he as at his real day job ha ha ha
The North was a hot bed of Welsh Nationalism in the 70's - burning holiday homes etc. They did.t want English folk to move in and take the place over which from what you say has happened. I know a lot of people from Liverpool retired or moved there when they were priced out of moving to the Wirral - had loads of holidays there as a kid and its a lovely place when the weather is right you can get a great holiday there. I think there was a time when the North was the place where the Welsh language was spoken a lot but I understand that with partial independence and the growth of the influence of the Senedd Welsh ( as it is also taught in all schools ) is now widely spoken. Nice place - lets face it Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny bought Wrexham FC so it clearly has something going for it.
ps - you probably can only get Liptons tea in Wrexham now though ha ha ha
Not very Welsh mate, where is the lava bread? It’s not Welsh without the seaweed ;)
It's North walian.
Full English/Scottish/Irish /welsh........ Fish & Chips....... rinse repeat
That breakfast looked fantastic. On presentation I'd give it a 10. 👍
That looked like a good breakfast. I like to have fried bread as well as toast. It’s 9.5/10 from me, I’ve knocked it half a point because of the green sprinkles on the eggs.
Wales are doing fab. Another beautiful meal. Breakfast looked gorgeous Lee. 🥰🌞🥰xxx
A fond reference to your assistance dog who you are clearly missing - lovely plate of grub though!
Good morning from Scotland macadoodle !!!
Yes I agree Twinnings is not a touch on a proper Yorkshire Tea brew. The sausages looked a little thin and droopy to me. Not so sure about all that green stuff on the eggs. Not a fan of black pudding at all but looking at the other comments here, it looks like the breakfast should have had fried cockles and lava bread. To be honest never heard of this before on a breakfast.
A nice Full Welsh in a nice place. Good fresh produce in there, all cooked just right. Price ok. 9 from me.
I don't care what they call it! Looked delicious to me. If I had so snag it , beans in a pot and a good thick sausage. ( easy!🤭🤣)
I'm a tinned Tommy guy, so I'll go with 8.5. 👍
Twinings Tea! Never! it is so weak and overpriced. Breakfast looks really nice even though I wouldn’t be able to eat it.
The looks of the breakfast is very good. I thought that the green garnish on the eggs was a nice touch of colour and a pleasant atmosphere to boot. It looked like a 9.5 to me.
That look good Lee, but I agree with some of you subscriber’s, I’m
Hall Welsh on my mums side and there right to hi-light that the culture is fading fast and needs to be sustained, people don’t realise that Welsh is an culture fall of our history. Stay Welsh Wales.. keep rolling dude. Mickey
Drakeford you need to tell "Stay Welsh Wales"
I know lava bread is made from seaweed was the green stuff on your eggs dried seaweed so they become eggs with a lava twist just a thought !
I cannot understand how your scoring system works where did 8.9 come from ? How crazy what is wrong with 8.5 or 9 ? I notice DJ marks in solid numbers and something exceptional is off the charts which makes more sense to me
Hiya Lee, me again, ok so to answer your question about the south and north hating each other, it’s completely true! Don’t trust any of those north walian Goggs! (Gogleth means North in Welsh) I’m from the south just north of Cardiff. Originally from the mining valley of Aberdare now living in Pontyclun. Of course I jest, there’s no hate, just a bit of banter. I’ve got some good friends up there. Pity they all sound like scousers though 🤣🤣….controversial!!
Ok so the brekkie. I’d have thought a proper Welsh brekkie would have cockles and lava bread but to be honest who wants fishy rubber bits and seaweed for breakfast? No, I’d much rather have what you had! So much so I’m off to Tesco to get some bits for a fry up. Those mushrooms didn’t look too good though.
And TOMATOES! Those abominations shouldn’t be anywhere near any plate of food 🤣🤣 you can’t even form a breakwater with anything as the juice seeps under and into everything!
Right I’m gonna go fry some bread! Speak later!
Hi Lee I will be going to North Wales Tomorrow with Anthony Clifford
Looks great Lee what a stunning breakfast can't get much better then that or can it lol 😊✌️😉 a 10 for me Lee
Theres lovely isnt it 8.5 from me, South Wales pop into Folly Farm Great day out with a vintage funfair to boot 😀
The plate looked good but it would be too much for me to finish (coffee is my preference).😊
This is a disgrace, you should be ashamed and rename the video. That’s an English breakfast not a Welsh !
It's North Wales. Different to south.
Wish you’d have said you were in Felinheli I could have met you for a coffee! My husband is the window cleaner in that area he could have shown you around the locality .
That would have been nice. I was a bit lonely tbh. Next Time I'm around that area Deffo. Would have been great to meet you both.
Looked nice but what's with all the green stuff on the eggs? Twinings tea is my favourite.
The Macmaster and his sometimes side kick the legendary Darren John
I would walk from Arkansas to Wales to eat this breakfast
Good-looking breakfast! (And waitress!)
Effing hash browns get every-effing-where!
Hi Lee the breakfast looked really nice, not a baked bean fan myself, but still nice.
£1 extra for toast instead of it being included in the captains breakfast. Bloody hell don’t the Welsh know there’s a cost of living crisis going on.
is there anything better than a UK breakfast? nah
I will mark The Swellies Waterside Café 10 out of 10
Sorry to disappoint you mate but that is not a Welsh breakfast.A true Welsh fry up should have Fried Cockles and Laverbread (seaweed) cakes on it.
More research next time..
It's breakfast and it's in Wales ;)
Cockles 😝 no no no lol
LOL!!!! Yeah I'll give the Cockles a miss!!! Rather have Haggis!
@@TheMacMaster 🙌Same Cockles are for a nursery rhymes only 😂x
@@TheMacMaster So it's just a standard fry up.
The definition of a Welsh breakfast is including cockles and Laverbread.The same as a Scottish breakfast should have Tattie Scones,Haggis and Lorne sausage or an Ulster fry has to have potato bread and soda bread.
I'm hungry now after writing all that 😅
9.9 for me on looks
Only loses a mark for the freshly cut grass that seems to have blown onto the eggs!
Nothing Welsh about it , come on now 😂😂
Ps. Looks like a lovely location
Looked like a quality breakfast that Lee👍 if not a little overpriced 🤔
Hi Lee breakfast looked really good. Agree with you on the green bits on the eggs maybe the chickens were grass fed lol 😂lol 😂looked a nice part of wales too stay safe on your journey Lee we will be watching 👍👍
Caz & Baz
Looked yummy worth £11.00 😋Jen and Paul x
If you like Wales then try Scotland, Mac.
You should of gone a few miles down the road to Caernarfon, plenty of Welsh people around there. It's is sad to see my culture being destroyed by all the foreigners moving in and not assimilating then turn round and moan about other people from certain parts of the world doing the same to England.
ABYBYNIETH I GOGLEDD CYMRU O CAERDYDD!!
According to the national census 20% of the population of Wales are English and there is a definite bias for the English to live in North Wales.
Once you get up Conwy Valley above Llanrwst, and and into Caernarfon on coast, it becomes more Welsh so to speak.
The breakfast looked really nice but it was just a breakfast, it can't be a full Welsh breakfast without the laverbread? Tea should of been excellent, Twinnings English Breakfast is the best there is, proper tea unlike the overated mass marketed Yorkshire Tea which is an average brand like Tetley's, PG Tips etc, trouble is Lee you keep putting your milk in first so it's hard to judge the strength and that tea looked far too milky for me, the worst way people ruin their tea is putting sugar in it 🤮🤮 At least you don't do that!! Have fun trying find those car chargers in rural Wales 😂😂
The full Welsh looked delicious, along with the quality sausage and fresh toasted bread with butter served on the side. I would most definitely give it a strong 9 out of 10. I prefer Yorkshire tea, the fresh tea leaves version in a pot is absolutely my favourite.
I have previously mentioned my favourite type of saugage that I prefer 😉. Now we all most definitely know what type of quality saugage that is your prefer Lee. So whatever floats your boat Lee😉😂🤣
Yorkshire Tea grown on Ilkley Moor baht At my arse
Hope your coming down to Barry Island
West wales laver bread, North Wales hash brown, packet sauce, controversial..... Full 9.10.......🐟🏴🇫🇷🇫🇷
I like it already, properly grilled tomatoes too.
Hi should have been 9.5 at the least, you shouldn't mark it down because of the Brand of Tea, i go there now and again and my daughter s etc, i i did a lot of ground work across the bridge past the hotel in the early 80s,, and there was a great cafe near the pub on the front further along through the estate that wasn't built till 2000 ish, as you turn off the main road to go to s wellies there used to be a great pub called the halfway House now flats and housing sad
Noswaith da that breakfast looks awesome it's a 10 from me I prefer chopped tomatoes as well on a breakfast. There's a really good butcher's in Conwy it's called Edwards of Conwy the sausages are really good they never shrink when you cook them same goes for their burgers as well diloch
You don't need to go far from here to meet proper welsh people. head west to the beautiful Lynn Peninsular, somewhere like Morfa Nefyn or Aberdaron. Lots of proud Welsh people there, beautiful beaches, sceenery and even a world famous pub on the beach that you can't drive to (the Ty Coch). Gwens chippy in Morfa is well worth a visit
You have to have potato of some sort with a breakfast. Little Chef used to do sauté potato’s which I could never work out how they were cooked without browning, delicious on an Olympic breakfast with mini-donuts and chocolate sauce before getting back on the road. 😎
Lol you just had a full English breakfast in Wales
Nope, North Wales is different so I'm told. :0)
That’s a 10 from me. Not saw you struggle with a sachet of sauce for a while. Have you found a way to do it? 😂😂 I’m unsure of how you make tea Macmaster it’s never mills first 😬🤦🏾😂
Not a bad looking breakfast,.
But a full English is better in my opinion
Good video 👍
that looked spot on lee 10/10
It looked great and the bread looked amazing loved the eggs just class. 9/10
Very much enjoyed the drone shots of where u are along with the breakfast which is a bonus….Have to give it my stamp of approval- 10/10!😎👍🇨🇦
It would be nice if Lee could've met Simon from real ale craft beer TH-cam channel lol
Looks good breakfast 😋 let's hope all places you go to keep trading after rising prices electric gas Lee colourful blog 😀
