I'm finding the talk about making breakfast at home cheaper largely irrelevant.
Firstly, although it may not have been explicitly stated, the OP seemed to be referring to buying a set breakfast from a cafe, pub or restaurant and what a fair or value price would be to different people. Secondly, it strikes me that culturally, we are still not a nation who make a big thing about going out for breakfast. I'm not saying this isn't shifting as more and more places seem to be adding it to their range, places like Toby, Harvester and Beefeater do them even though they are all known for other things. The wider point for me is that I wonder how many people plan eating breakfast out in advance where considering buying ingredients instead even becomes a consideration? I find that on the occasions I have eaten breakfast out, it's usually because I am already away from home, either because I have stayed away somewhere or simply because I am out and about. It's usually just down out of necessity rather than it being planned in advance. Thus I find all this talk of buying ingredients to cook my own totally pointless as usually it isn't an either/or situation. |

In Brighton it's normally £7 - £10, which is pricey but always reliable!

Up to about £5 I suppose? I don't eat full English Breakfasts that often so don't know how much they are.
Last time I ate one was year ago in a Premier Inn, theirs was £8.25 but it was all you could eat! |

The biggest rip off to me are the hotel buffets, where they try to charge about £15. People get sucked in by the all you can eat aspect, but realistically there is only so much you can eat, generally most people won't eat any more than if they just ordered from a menu. I often find the quality lacking, rubbery eggs sat under a hot lamp etc.
I'd pay £18 per head for the Hawksmoor sharing breakfast which is £36, google it, it looks awesome. |

Up to about £8 for a decent one. I would pay more but haven't been anywhere that's more expensive then that.

When booking hotels, I tend to estimate the value of in-house breakfast at £4 / €5 if there is a shop 5 minutes away. If you're stuck in the middle of nowhere then it's worth more. It's not that I never had a more expensive breakfast, it's more that I don't know what I'm getting yet.

All this for £5.50 at the cafe near my parents -
Egg, 2 bacon, sausage, mushrooms, chips, two slices of toast, cup of tea/coffee. And best of all, lots of hunky workmen to ogle. ![]() |

Notice the similarity here?
All 3 members have first and last names in their usernames. All 3 registered in 2016. All 3 attacking. Who are they trying to kid. I'll alert the mods myself. Far too many of these users, or probably all the same person trying to cause trouble in threads. Some even make decent posts.Here you go - a thread about it from 3 years ago, several posts explaining it's the default login. It's not a new thing if people were discussing it 3 years ago http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...1&postcount=10

Morrisons "little breakfast" £3.79 includes 1 bacon, 1 sausage, 1 fried egg, beans, hash brown and 2 slices of buttered toast. Bargain and usually piping hot and tasty. Wash that down with a cappuccino, an orange juice and a slice of carrot cake comes to £8.40 total and sees me through 'till tea time.
