Before The Blue Brick (the Stanley Kubrick) Cafe went veggie, it was a good fry. If a bit haphazard service at times. Prettys does a top notch fry which is huge. Down by The Cherry Tree is the Grove, Greek Cypriots running it and had some good frys there.

The must haves: bacon, fried bread, shrooms, tomatoes (sometimes tinned), egg (fried and runny) and Heinz beans. Will trade sausage for extra bacon. Black pudding if it's available, but seldom seen in the caffs round here.


Partial to scrambled egg in a well buttered roll. The roll is crucial as you know.


Never have chips for brekkie. That's unhealthy and can't be good for you.


Wash it down with a mug of sweet tea

In Scotland, the triangular potato scone is a traditional staple. Weirdly they're also meant to be big on the Isle of Man.


In Ireland they have a slightly thicker equivalent called a potato farl - but I'd need to check with Irish forumites as to whether they were/are a breakfast staple.

I've never been partial to a farl Mr Ben. Not that common where I come from either


my potatoe of choice for breakfast is a sauteed potato


Anyway this is all "what constitutes a good breakfast" rather than where does a good one


I've been to all of the ones on the lane and of late Johnnies was the best. The one up by the Plough is proper old school (I remember a pre first ever Barry Barry brekkie there with Carnell)


The one next to Franklins was solid but great coffee

Hash browns are an American invader, but then so are baked beans, so how far back do we push regional Breakfast item traditions? As far back as Sir Walter discovering the potato in the Americas? Bubble and Squeak is a very traditional addition in a London fry up and always has been as far back as I can remember as a kid- i cant personally eat my fry up without this patticular potato product. Just as square sausages in Scotland, black pudding in Ireland and the north of England, and the curious Hog's pudding in Cornwall and Devon. I personally would rather fried bread than toast or hash browns anyday - but I'm just a believer in being a true all out unhealthy breakfast lover.

    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
