One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Really good quality ingredients cooked really well. The links sausages, lorne and black pudding were all butchers quality. Served with a fresh roll from a bakery and a cup of coffee, this is one of the best value and highest quality meals I've had in a long time. I'm stuffed!
