The Quest for Britains Best Breakfast
This is a tale of 2 halves – I am only judging on my second visit, (though I will briefly tell you about the first): Visit one was so bad, the owner came up to me and said ‘obviously, the next time breakfast is on me’. She then went on […]
On the edge of Ventura retail park in Tamworth is KFC and Costa. Next door to Costa is Roasters. The walls and signage shout out that its a family owned business, extablished in 1992 and they have 2 sites, here and George Street, (I didnt know). I have never tried […]
This place used to be called Katies and I was a big fan. The breakfast there was superb, (https://wp.me/p9BOzx-1xW), gaining 8/10 fried eggs. This is the same cafe, the same layout, but a bit older and more tired looking. The ‘problem’ with Katies was that everything was freshly cooked, including […]
Up a back street in Tamworth, you will find Poachers. Its discretely hidden away, opposite an Italian and a hairdressers. I chose this place as I hadn’t heard of it, even though its only a few miles from where I live. I was pleasantly surprised. Its very small – but […]
This was my second attempt to get a breakfast here. On my first visit, they were shut, (no idea why?), so I ended up at a Beefeater. We were slightly more successful this time, with it being open and a few customers already in there. I went with my wife […]
I took a little one here to spend a bit of time together and enjoy a breakfast. She is just 6 years old. I wanted to go to another venue that stated it was open from 09:00, however, it wasnt, (it was still shut when we returned home, nearly 2 […]
The weather was awful today, so instead of going for a 30 mile bike ride, I went for a Full English breakfast instead. The Red Lion is a pub in a village near Tamworth, set right on the Fazeley canal, (so its fantastic for drinking outside in the summer). […]
Christophers is a nice looking bar from the outside, inside, its a bit smaller than I expected, but still quite nice. The biggest downside from eating breakfast there, (with hotel guests), was the echoey noise from the rooms. The ceilings are quite high – I think the place could benefit […]
Firstly, it is in a garden centre. This I thought would mean that the breakfast was going to be awful, but actually, it was a great breakfast. There was a single problem with the Full English, that was that it had hard poached eggs – which was a real shame, […]
OK, so its not exactly Birmingham, but I was told how good the breakfast was and had to try it out – to see for myself. My first opportunity was at 1:40pm, Saturday July 2016, (they only opened in June) – they were still serving breakfasts – which is GREAT […]
