Good to see real and I mean real reviews on these so called eateries,gives everyday working people on limited budgets a chance to choose the right place to spend there money.Keep them coming to help people in difficult times ,thanks lee
A couple of months ago I made the mistake of going into a leon, n had a boxed breakfast, the whole experience was a disappointment to say the least, I’m from Northumberland but the staff were from god knows where, I couldn’t understand them, they couldn’t understand me 🤣🤣🤣 the breakfast was shite ☺️
Hah Hah, you’re mate Damien isn’t exactly a bloomin ray of Sunshine is he?😳😆 Hats off to you both for trying to eat that crap, I’d have binned the lot!🤢🤮 Entertaining as usual tho!😆👍
Another great Vlog MacMaster. I can't believe they put pizza sauce on bacon & egg bap? so bad your soccer (football) fan mate had to wipe it off. I was also horrified at how old and wrinkly the mushrooms were. Fatty bacon, rubber joke shop eggs. And the price!!! This place certainly doesn't put the great back in Britain. We should have a team of motorway service station Police.. crap food, close it down, too expensive, close it down, etc you get the drift, my friends. looking forward to more vids lee, you're a legend in your own right.
It is just astonishing to see so many breakfast takeaways put the beans in the same box as all the other items and not use a separate container. It's like they think we want a soggy breakfast 🤣
Leon, like Pret has gone right downhill sadly. They used to do lovely little poached egg pots, perfect for grabbing on the way to the office. Nowadays, because you can only order via a screen, you can’t request that the eggs aren’t overcooked with rock hard yolks, so I’ve given up on them.
"Coffee's okay but you can't really muck up coffee" Oh I think you'll find it is VERY easy to mess up coffee lol. Espresso drinks like Lattes and cappucinos require either a very advanced and expensive automated machine to get at least okay tasting coffee, but if you don't have that then you need a trained barista to carefully measure out the grounds and they need to know how to tamp with the correct amount of pressure and at the right angle. If a grind setting is off a bit on the grinder then the coffee can taste drastically different. There are many variables that can mess up an espresso drink. It's not like making instant coffee at home.
More like that please Lee. Very funny. What looked the worst on that breakfast was the mushrooms. I HATE mushrooms and wouldn't eat the world's finest, but they looked especially wrong. I do occasionally cook 'em for others and even that slim experience tells me they must have been disgusting.
Breakfast looked awful! I'd still rather eat it than own an electric car though! It is not the future of cars Lee. (Hopefully!) 😂😂 Loved the outtake! 😂
Brilliant vlog Lee!🤣 you always bring a smile to my face ☺️. That electric car is a nightmare! Enough to give you a nervous breakdown ( range anxiety!) Started off thinking your friend was a bit....um.. stiff?? But changed my mind, think he has a twisted sense of humour 👍🏼🤣 food looked awful, never seen beans you needed to cut with a knife!😖 hope you're looking after yourself fella xx
Hey MM thanks for another great vid. I would have been tempted to chuck the breakfast box , red beans and all against Leo restaurant window but those eggs might have shattered glass over diners .😉
I've eaten at slacker lane services many times. I didn't mind I at all. Because it was free. The perks of taking a coach load of passengers. I was a coach driver at the time. Happy days.
Hi Mr MacMaster. That was literally pig swill. In fact pig swill would probably have been better. Thanks for highlighting this chain called Leon. I'll know to avoid going there for breakfast whislt im on the road. Bet you wish you had a Mac Donalds breakfast. I love the sauasge and egg McMuffin my self. And that out take at the end was brilliant. It reminded me of the one you did at the Marco Pierre White Restaurant in Nottingham back in Oct 21. The kid going past on the skateboard. Your reaction then was similar to your reaction tin this video to the bin wagon. So funny its pure quality! Cheers Mr MacMaster. 👍.
Excellent video Lee. The food didnt look very appetizing. I cant believe they put pasta sauce on a bacon butty. Some places dont take pride in food service. Not the best breakfast in the .......World
Love the outtakes Lee always give great viewing lol. Maaaaaaann that breakfast looked terrible!! Think you made the right decision not eating it 🤢 as for the hair... your not losing your hair it's just the lighting pal... worse case iv just glue some on next time your in.. serious note tho are you intrigued to go Turkey? That would be an awesome vlog that would lol 👴
Being a chef I always thought 2 of the things you can never make really bad are scampi and chips or a English breakfast. Can't even think how they cooked that egg.🤮
Sorry that you and Damian had to endure a horrible Full English Breakfast in a box 😵 I live in the States and I doubt that I could've withstand something so cheesey and poxy and boxy 🤔😜😵 Good video 👍😊👍
Clackett Lane, almost in my neck of the woods, but no to that breakfast, looked up the ingredients, list as long as your arm for the beans, yuk. Only been in the services a couple of times, after being stuck in the traffic, as usual, and kids needed the facilities, lol.
These places thanks to your reviews need closing. It's rich no nothings opening stores exploiting our ££. Great review. I'd still rather eat that than have an electric car. 😁
2 questions from this...why did you go to Leon (which is awful) when there is a Macdonald's and the one thing that is good there is breakfast? If you stayed in Kingston why didn't you charge before you left while you were parked up? There are charging points all over the borough at the side of the road, probably the only thing that is good about the roads there!!
Oh dear that breakfast looked awful mate. I’ll be slightly kinder and give it a 0.5/10 just because the sausage had a slight bend to it🤣. I didn’t even realise those were beans until you said it! Thought they were tinned tomatoes🤣😂. As for electric cars, I think I’ll stick to petrol for the time being lol. Thanks for another great video mate👍
Horrendous looking breakfast, I felt sorry for you guys. You've driven for a while, and deserve a decent breakfast. I remember Little Chef, back in the day, when I was a kid. We stopped off, and were never disappointed. The breakfast you could have whatever the time of day, and it was good. I don't know where it went wrong, perhaps staff cut backs. I won't be trying the Leon products that you can get in supermarkets anytime soon that's for sure! 😂
Your friend looks like he doesn't necessarily want to be on the video. 😀 Me personally hate it. It makes me feel uncomfortable if someone's filming or taking photos. I do my best to avoid it.
EV cars may be cheaper than petrol / diesel but you have to spend more on food / drink in the most expensive stations on worst food ever while waiting ,think we are 10 years off having them the infrastructure is way off charge needs to take 10 mins plus how many people are going to be knocked over as you can’t hear them coming ?
You should maybe consider picking up a powerstation as an electric "fuel can" a lot of people now carry them in the boot as they can charge you anywhere in an emergency
Eat in these type places more fool you. 50% off what you pay is rent/rates etc before you even touch the crap they serve. Utter junk. But this type of 'food' is what so many people find acceptable. And if you pay for it, expect to see it more of it. Crap in a box with plastic cutlery.
Nah not having it! That bloke you have with you is a total noob! Probably the most shaky jakey ever lol. He needs to stop drinking! With regards to the food not as bad as you say. Stop agreeing with shakey! @23 min+ you can see the man is gagging for a drink!
Last time I got a halloumi wrap from Leon in Leeds station the spiced ketchup was that watery it was running through the foil onto the floor, all over my hand, and on my shirt. Terrible. I'm not surprised it's always empty. I bet they go bust.
Oh dear...Made to wait that long to charge...then be charged the earth for what they sadly call food, then an error with the charging...then the Bin truck...you ever get that feeling that it is going to be one of those days...All the best to the both of you
Flipping Heck your mates a barrel of laughs.
Your mate is such a happy chap lol ...
Your mate
Is a debbie downer
Tell him to cheer up
You are so positive
And him NO!!!!!!!
He's actually really funny. Dry sense of humour. 😉

Your mates one liner banter dissing the food was awesome to hear. Good lad
You know a breakfast is gonna be bad when it looks like it's been fired into the box from a catapult!🤢
what the fuck did you expect, it's a fucking full-english in a box... hardly gourmet is it...
Thanks for visiting and confirming to me that these trendy brands aren't worth visiting. Expensive prices, small portions and crap quality.
Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.
Damien's one liners are quality, more than can be said for the breakfast... dear God! 😂🤣🤢
Hah Hah, you’re mate Damien isn’t exactly a bloomin ray of Sunshine is he?😳😆
Hats off to you both for trying to eat that crap, I’d have binned the lot!🤢🤮
Entertaining as usual tho!😆👍
take it back and chuck it at them
It's the way it's presented. Stuck in a box is never gonna look good. I'm sure it deserved some points.

I travel a lot watching Pompey. I never use Leon. It's vile!
it must be a pain in the posterior looking for chargers all the time 🙂
Unfortunately having an electronic car seems like a pain in the arse.

I NEVER eat at Motorway Services because it will be an expensive disappointment guaranteed!

That farmer fella is a crumpy old git...
Love you great review Lee all you kept saying was 'No' 'Not good' and 'that tastes horrible'.
Never been to a Leon before, don’t think I’ll be starting anytime soon.
Hey MM thanks for another great vid. I would have been tempted to chuck the breakfast box , red beans and all against Leo restaurant window but those eggs might have shattered glass over diners .😉
they should just call it the 'no' breakfast...lol
Damien has cheered up from a couple of videos ago. We'll blame it on the jet lag 😂
Great vid,Loving Tractor mans dry humour. ‘keep the brown bag for the car’ was a good one.
Leon baked beans are bloody lovely. I can't believe u didn't like anything in the box
Get rid of your electric car? Don’t buy naff motorway breakfasts? Job sorted mate👍
Only two reasons you'll reside in Ipswich,
You're starting off
You end up
Should of brought that crap back for a full refund.
I've eaten at slacker lane services many times. I didn't mind I at all. Because it was free. The perks of taking a coach load of passengers. I was a coach driver at the time. Happy days.
Clacket lane.
a good vet could bring that beacon back to life

The worst in the world. 😜
Great road trip vid. Nothing ever goes to plan. Also a drop in breakfast taste test, the shadowing bin lorry... you can't do better.
The infrastructure in UK is rubbish. The only ones near me are in town by the bus station. Not the best place at all.
I love the irony of the fast food sign. Lol
I’d like to see you charging when its raining! It seems like quite a bit of time getting the process going. They never seem to have a roof.
Coming soon. Filmed in a the rain the other day. Lol. 😂
🤢🤢🤢 For gods sake, why do you order a breakfast in a cardboard box, it speaks for itself.
I feel sick now. You were brave trying some. I would have taken that rubbish straight back and asked for a refund.
Love the outtakes Lee always give great viewing lol. Maaaaaaann that breakfast looked terrible!!

Smell of petrol oil wood and leather from Dad's old car in the 60's. Won't get that with electric cars.
Too funny my friend!!
Come on, let’s go!!
Sorry that you and Damian had to endure a horrible Full English Breakfast in a box 😵 I live in the States and I doubt that I could've withstand something so cheesey and poxy and boxy 🤔😜😵 Good video 👍😊👍
I think ya tractor mate would give Victor meldrew a run for his money 😂
I’ve never seen an egg like that! My first impression was that it was a rubber fried egg, like you thought.
The top was steamed, seen it many times. Don't understand what everyone freaking out about. It just gives a cleaner finished look.
Electric cars not worth stress and your mate wasn't impressed
That breakfast was terrible I would have asked for my money back don’t let them get away with it good video cheers👍👍👍👍
I just rewatched the 1950s classic "The Day The Earth Stood Still". That egg looked exactly like the flying saucer that landed in Washington D.C.
I reckon you still had worse in the states 😂
It tastes terrible, here, try it!! 😂😂😂🤣
Clackett Lane, almost in my neck of the woods, but no to that breakfast, looked up the ingredients, list as long as your arm for the beans, yuk. Only been in the services a couple of times, after being stuck in the traffic, as usual, and kids needed the facilities, lol.

Someone once asked me...Do you like muffins ? Don't know , I replied. Never been to one 😆

Leon was or is still owned by Katie Derham's husband no wonder he's a multi millionaire
Hello Lee & Damien.
Just out of curiosity,how much did it cost for the 60% and then after for the extra 40%?
For the electricity? About £28 for the 60%
definately a negative score and go back to petrol elictric will never fully take off
Electric car is more better then petrol
Oh dear that breakfast looked awful mate. I’ll be slightly kinder and give it a 0.5/10 just because the sausage had a slight bend to it🤣. I didn’t even realise those were beans until you said it! Thought they were tinned tomatoes🤣😂. As for electric cars, I think I’ll stick to petrol for the time being lol. Thanks for another great video mate👍
The moral of the story is forget electric and stick to fuel
Damien looks so overjoyed hope he’s ok?
He's fine. He's layed back. 👍🏼
if only someone had invented a mobile phone, you could of phoned the garage to see if they had a charging point open and available. lol
Horrendous looking breakfast, I felt sorry for you guys. You've driven for a while, and deserve a decent breakfast. I remember Little Chef, back in the day, when I was a kid.

How much did the charge for your car cost?
Your mate is quite dead pan 😂
one day you dont like runny egg next you do? nasty lookin thing tho lol ....
Well that was unpleasant… 😂😂😂
In crocodile Dundee Linda says to Paul hogan when they were eating iguana you can live on it. Lol
Your friend looks like he doesn't necessarily want to be on the video. 😀 Me personally hate it. It makes me feel uncomfortable if someone's filming or taking photos. I do my best to avoid it.

Leeds Leeds Leeds fans used to sing I can't read I can't write but I can drive my tractor when playing Ipswich lol
Absolutely awful food if you can call it that 000 great vlog though Lee , does Tractor boy ever smile 😂
The only thing that I've ever taken from an hotel was the safe. They need the towels
Get a bloody petrol of diesel! Watching your charging nightmares is purgatory! EV's the future! My arse!😉
I actually like leon... the 'pasta sauce' is a spicy tomato sauce, not for everyone's taste but it isnt terrible. Their porridge is decent too.
That's one poor excuse for a breakfast
First… it was barf in a bag!!!
You should maybe consider picking up a powerstation as an electric "fuel can" a lot of people now carry them in the boot as they can charge you anywhere in an emergency
I didn't know they existed. 👍🏼
@@TheMacMaster take a look at the jackery 1500 👌
Thanks Peter.
@@TheMacMaster another one to look at is the zip charge go, only for preorder currently but looks amazing
I couldn't be fucked with these electric cars, they need to sort out the network..

What was the mystery item? Was it a slice of halloumi? Anyway I was laughing watching how bad this looked :-)
Oh dear...Made to wait that long to charge...then be charged the earth for what they sadly call food, then an error with the charging...then the Bin truck...you ever get that feeling that it is going to be one of those days...All the best to the both of you
Damian is so funny🤣 Proper Victor Meldrew impersonator🤣. That breakfast as a whole but the rubber egg!
I think I managed to identify the sausage and that was it - I think you must have ordered the 'Mystery Breakfast Box'
Should have took it back in for a refund. That looked awful. Plus that charging sounds like a nightmare
It makes me laugh the way you film and carry the bag Lee, It's almost like you have a bagful of dog poo that's about to explode at any moment. 😂👍
Oh Dear...First words when you opened the box 😅🤣😂
Looks like airplane food 🤢 Leon always looks the same the way out as it does in 🤮 and of that price!
DJ Would still love those eggs 😂
Of the charts.
Leon has the worst fast food. Shame.
