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.
Londoner here. There are lots of cheaper amazing local cafes in london
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.)
£12 is mid to high for a fry up... £6-7 is normal for a FULL English. 👍🇬🇧
The full English in our greasy spoon cafe in Warwick costs £3.65 including fried bread, cup of tea and 2 slices of buttered bread, luvvly jubbly!!!
Yep i would say the average around where i live is about the £4 mark. Even where i lived before in london you can still get a full english fof under £5 and i still visit the same cafes when i visit London.
I’m originally from the East End and moved up here to Warwick 10 years ago and the full English in London varies from about £4 where I used to live to around £12 around Borough market which is scandalous, but as long as visitors or trendy people want to pay that amount the price will stay high.
Only one sausage, what sort of barbarians serve a breakfast with one sausage not to mention the lack of fried bread or the black pudding cut so thin you could almost see through it.
The tuckery do a good breakfast
Michael Prestidge we go there on Saturday mornings for a Bacon sandwich and a cuppa
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.
Title correction: "Americans try a high, really high and extravagantly high priced English breakfast" !!!!
'A banger, which is a sausage...almost' lol u foreigners are so cute
Obviously never had a Morrison's big daddy breakfast for £6
Agreed
I went into Morrisons for a breakfast when I was 53. I think I was 55 when it was served.
@@glennharrison7036 I bet it didn't have all the items as advertised .... Don't get me started on Morrisons breakfasts
@@egoldstraw6952
I learnt once. I don't need to learn again. I was working that day and was up against the clock. Morrisons pissed on my day. I really don't know how they can make such hard work of it.
@@glennharrison7036 Boom, brilliant!
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 Another name for it is Blood Sausage ;) so have a guess.
@@k.c.4875 Blood and fat and it's lovely
@@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
@McDonalds Farmer Because it tastes good. Not that hard to work out
Ashley, the mashed potato stuff is called Bubble and Squeak.
No Londoner ever would pay them prices for a fry up
No brit would lol
Ya you all need dentists first
Angela Castaneda a dentist? What are you talking about lol was that meant to be some kind of put down I’m confused 🤷♀️ most people in the UK visit a dentist every 6 months lol 😂
The breakfast is full of sugar aka carbs
Smile
Obviously, it's not the cholesterol, but the price, that gives people heart attacks in London!
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!
Golden rule: If the local brickies eat there - then eat there
@@rupert9208 For our American firends: Brickies= Bricklayers and other construction workers.
Yep follow the tradesmen.
Im a tradesman every town got a cheap cafe or when in doubt weatherspoons
Oh yeah, the duck and waffle at the Duck and Waffle is pretty special. Good choice.
8:57 is so British...
*Sun comes out*
_Immediately sees England_
*Goes straight back in.* 😂😂😂
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! 🍳👍
12 quid for a fryup!😱 you were robbed🤦♀️ i can get 3 for that price with a cuppa!
I like this couple. they're a lot of fun
You don't have to say England after London, it's the original!
There is 1 or 2 in the US I believe.
We have a 70s tv comedy here in the U.S. where a character finds much trouble when told to ship something to 'London'..he ships it to the U.K., rather than London, Ontario, Canada! It never hurts to be very specific! We have many duplicate named cities here in the U.S. (we're not that original)...Kansas City, Missouri is just a street width away from Kansas City, Kansas..two separate municipalities.
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.
Great vid as per usual, all your vids really professional and well presented 👍
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
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.
@McDonalds Farmer Cafe Pagoda just next to Kew Gardens station.
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.
Man im hungry! Like a lot of comments weatherspoons is really good i do night shift and can finish and get a full english and and a pint before bed!
I love you guys! Im british and really enjoy watching you experiencing our food for the first time 😀
I would have sent the bacon back as being under cooked
I thought the same!!
Definitely the greasy spoon, so many to choose from in the uk, every town has at least one or two.
Reservations for breakfast? Should have gone Wetherspoons.
Went to Wetherspoons once I was there for 2 days. Couldn't leave because I was stuck to the floor.
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. 👍💯
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!!!!!
The "streaky bacon" looked practically raw.
Well done, guys, great video. I've just returned from the US and I loved your version of hash browns, mmm. 😊
'Your version'? They're an American dish! Our version probably leaves a bit to be desired.
Hmmm...where in the US? Different regions have different versions hashbrowns/potato hash. I prefer Southern style (though from the Midwest).
Average price outside of London is about 5 pounds for a breakfast and 8 pounds for a belly buster.
You guys just put a smile on my face. Loved it ❤️🌹🇦🇺
12 quid is very expensive for a fry 😯
I’d expect three sausages and two eggs plus free tea or coffee top ups.
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.
First bacon looked more like Danish Back Bacon. Fried bread also a good option on a good fry up. But main rule is mix the food on the fork 2 to 3 items per mouthful not just 1, its all about mixing.
I enjoyed this video. I love an awesome British breakfast 🍳😋
loved the view from the third caff, amazing!
8:50 for the cheap one? Sod that for a game of soldiers!!
… bugger that for a game of soldiers ;) imagine them saying that back home lolol
Those beans on the second breakfast looked dry, they had been standing to long.
Michael Williams or had been left to boil.
I cook them like that, with chilli butter and onion. Much tastier.
satsumamoon I’m sure the added ingredients are tasty, but they shouldn’t be dry, they look like they have been cooked a while back, then kept warm on a hot plate.
Maybe they were seasoned. I add curry powder to mine and they are less runny that way.
And the channel keeps growing!
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.
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!
I loved the Olympic breakfast at the Little Chef!
Little chef went bust
Great idea!
so well done.... Love London
Bubble and squeak is the mash with left over veg fried up.
I’d have to agree with the other brits comments, brits wouldn’t pay that much. You need to try a real breakfast outside of london. Also a basic breakfast isn’t served with a bill in a tin with mints.
That said, great to see the videos :)
Really great video.
Just found you by chance. Thanks for your videos from here in the u.k. . You have made me chuckle 😂🤣. Not well at the moment and have really cheered me up. Lovely couple, please don’t go back yet, more vids please.
£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 😂😂👍
Yeah, we will! 😆
Average price in my area is about £6 something too. London's a rip off.
You can get that big breakfast at the first place for £6.00 in Manchester.
Morrison's big daddy breakfast £6
London is a shite hole never mind the prices 😂👍🏼
I get the stuff from Tesco and cook it meself for a couple of quid🤣
Yup, and you can get quality sausages and black pud.
I just said this to fella told him I eva had to pay that for a breakfast cos they got an award I'd buy it in my self fella breaky alway better anyway cos he know how I like it cooking
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.
I didn't watch this for a week, because I didn't seem interested, but now it was one of the best Videos you recently uploaded! well done. Too bad the Concept already exists, otherwise I'd probably ask for a series :D
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.
Better value in a transport cafe or Wetherspoons. Cheaper too.
The $$$ breakfast place sausage looked like something you would find in a toilet. Yuck!
Greg Doull
Wetherspoons, good food but often served on a cold plate so food gets cold quickly. Insist on warm plate.
I just love Ashley! She has the cutest laugh!
Love you guy's. From London
The service charge isn’t mandatory, don’t pay it!
People will argue over the components of a Full English but I think buttered toast is an acceptable alternative to fried bread.
When I make my own I never butter the toast. The bacon fat and fried egg have enough fat between them to not need the extra lubrication. Also it is important to position the items correctly on the plate. Like use the sausage as a breakwater between the egg and the beans.
great video
£16 for the breakfast on day #3, I would say that’s acceptable with the view, ambience and quality of food.
That first one was expensive, like really expensive.
You guys have been ripped off- the ‘cheap’ breakfast was soo expensive. Going to Asda or Morrison’s would have been a loooooot cheaper xx
It`s midnight...you`ve made me crave breakfast!
The “potato” thing on the works is called Bubble and Squeak. It is usually mashed potato combined with cabbage (and maybe broccoli and onion and is fried like a patty). Traditionally however it would make from whatever leftover vegetables you have from the meal you’d have had the previous evening. Waste not, want not as they say....
Restaurant prices are a function of the cost of real estate. Central London very expensive.
It’s not a “sausage” almost. It’s a just a sausage
The greasy spoon I visit is £2.70 for a basic breakfast, with egg, sausage, bacon, beans, hash brown, two slices of toast and a mug of tea. A big breakfast, doubling up on everything plus all the extras, is £4.95. Add a steamed pudding for £2.90. Most of the daily papers are on the rack, the service is friendly, and you can discuss politics, philosophy and hernia operations without fisticuffs.
Thanks for the vlog, very interesting. If you go back to Runcorn you should definitely do this again to compare quality and price. There is an amazing bistro called The Bakehouse on Shetland Lane for the high end, a bakery called Quigleys that does a take away breakfast that is really good value, and also the Morrisons cafe in Widnes do an All Day Breakfast that has lots of options (including haggis, white pudding, poached egg or scrambled egg), if you want to create your own, and being further north your budget won't be stretched as much.
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 guys should have gone to the. HAWKSMOOR at the Guildhall in The City of London, Been Voted best breakfast in the UK
Now that's a serious breakfast! Best I've ever had.
Also probably the most expensive.😀
@@ravensoulmetal8466 That's very true. :-)
Thanks for your video... could you please tell me what that dark pudding food was made of and could you please tell me the name of the song and artist that started to play at the beginning of your second breakfast... thanks so much.... gary from Wisconsin
...its called Black Pudding....personally I wouldn't miss it in a full English Breakfast....
The first potato thing was bubble and sweak lol. Great video very strange having a scone in a breakfast tho xx
Give me a greasy spoon any day, I don't even like sourdough never understood why it's suppose to be more "upmarket".
A banger IS a sausage not ALMOST a sausage.
It wasn't even a "banger" either, the menu says Cumberland sausage...and the "mash" was bubble and squeak!
Amazing 😁💕 love a good English breakfast. You need to compare it to a wetherspoon breakfast! Super cheap! Please do this in Manchester 😁👏 xx
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!
Were there any English people in there? Can’t see many of us paying those prices.
You got done. Should have paid around £5 for a cafe full breakfast.
At Morrisons their 19 item breakfast is just £6! Thats in every Morrisons store. A full English at our local Wetherspoons is £5.05
Could you please tell me the name of the song that starts playing at 3:58 . Thanks so much.
£12!!!!! AND u thought that was reasonable. U can get a bigger and better breakfast than that anywhere outside London for half the price
good god the prices just in this first place. thats london prices for you though i guess
Her laugh is so infectious and bubbly
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.
Great vid guys, love these little food ones you come up with in the UK. If you are still here, you must try another UK cuisine tradition and that’s getting a Indian Takeaway. This is probably more popular than Fish & Chips. Most people have a mix of a traditional curry, rice, naan bread, onion bhajis, samosas and popadoms. Get in a few beers, order the takeaway and whack on a good film. Give it a bash guys, you will love it and it will be a really good vid 👍
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 should go to a place where the items can be ordered as separate items, you can then get exactly what you want as your breakfast, best off at a backstreet greasy spoon.
Really interesting video! Prices in Australia is pretty much on par, if not a bit more expensive across the board...
That's not streaky bacon it's back bacon....
Weatherspoons pub in the uk can’t beat their breakfasts dead cheap get plenty
The breakfasts looked delicious and I know the UK is not known for their cuisine but all your previous dining leads me to believe that it mostly good , hearty , wholesome food. BOY am I hungry!
Don't believe all you read or hear, there's some stunning food in the UK, you just need to know where to go to eat it.
@@andrewlaw I am looking forward to finding that out myself very soon. Thanks
Yeah London prices but great to see you enjoying yourselves and having fun in our country. I saw you enjoying cider in Somerset and now youtube pops your videos up but that's ok :)
Greasy spoon everytime!
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!
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.
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).
They must have seen U coming just a ripp off
Bloody hell 8,50 for that!!!! Guys come up north for god sake you guys getting your eyes ripped out 😂 you can make your selfs sick for 5£ here!!! Barnsley Yorkshire
Exactly my point. So cheap here in Barnsley lol
Don't need to go oooopp North we have proper reasonably priced cafés in London, dunno where they got their "cheap" cafe at £8.50 for a small breakfast. They were held up in my opinion.
@@nick260682 😂 It's grim ooopp North
@@andrewlaw souths grim, at least up here you can meet friendly people have actually have a conversation.
had a cracking full english this morning with a cup of coffie 4 pound the brockmoor cafe
Ashley you look great in that Green Irish Wool sweater, nothing better to wear in the UK!
