Harvester unlimited breakfast

No toast? :D

Sounds epic, the only thing with a gut buster, it completely wipes me out for the rest of the day!

Oh yea, I feel rough now.

I dont do that often. Last time I did anything like that maybe 10 years ago, and that was a Holiday Inn buffet breakfast, and I ate about a third more that time as well.
 
Just before the Pandemic I spent a week in a Premier Inn paid for by work. The £10? eat all you want breakfast was included.
My 2 thoughts on the matter where 1) how the flip could you eat £10? worth of breakfast and 2) what crap quality it was.

Quality wasn't that bad to be honest at the Harvester, definitely had worse.
 
Out of pure coincidence happened to go to the Harvester for dinner last night, not been for years to this and the breakfast the other day.

The breakfast for £9.99 was great, evening food menu not so much.
 
It's probably because I'm mean but £10 for a 'Harvester quality' breakfast sounds awful.

But most cafe breakfasts are not far off now, my local cafe which does a nice cafe breakfast put their prices up to £7 for their "mega breakfast" which was a third of what I had at the Harvester, and the quality was marginallly better at Harvester.

They said (the local cafe this is) that basically costs have shot up recently which given everything that's going on I completely understand and believe him.
 
The best breakfasts I have ever had have been in hotels/hotel buffet breakfast.

Its nowhere near as good as it used to be sadly, but back about 15 years ago the Coppid Beech hotel in Bracknell (used to get sent there a lot for work) but the hotel breakfast there was epic.

They had back bacon and streaky, all different eggs, two types of sausages, even had haggis, as well as everything else you would expect. Just go up an help yourself.

Holiday Inn buffet breakfasts always used to be pretty decent also. I prefer it when you can just go up and grab what you want.
 
Not Harvester but a Brewers Fayre, I'd normally avoid going out here (that's coming from someone who is more than happy at Wetherspoons) but I was taking my son to a 4 year old birthday party so thought whilst I was here:

Plate 1:

5 Sausages, 6 bacon, 3 black pudding, scrambled egg, 1 fried egg, 1 hash brown, beans and some mushrooms hidden under there.

Plate 2:

4 Sausages, 6 bacon, 3 black pudding and 3 hash browns.

Could have probably squeezed a bit more but would be heading towards just feeling very uncomfortable for the rest of the day.

The highlight was th black pudding which was lovely, crispy on the outside and still gooey inside.

The restvof the stuff was average at best, and the mushrooms were pretty bad.
 
You had 9 sausages Jeremy? 9? That's insane.

Edit:

9 sausages - 1341 cals
12 bacon - 720 cals
6 black pudding - 418 cals
1 scrambled egg - 65 cals
1 fried egg - 75 cals
4 hash browns - 244 cals
Beans - 155 cals
'shrooms - Frankly at this point who cares? 30 plus some butter/oil?

3,048. Holy ****

Mmmm nice.

To be fair been eating very sensibly and doing walking every day this week, so back to that tomorrow, needless to say I've not had anything else to eat today either.
 
About 7-8 years ago I guess, the Mrs and I went to a friend's wedding at a holiday Inn and we stayed the night at the hotel.

It was a really good evening and we were having a few drinks and dancing all night.

Next morning woke up, and wasn't hungover at all, but the mix of drinking and dancing so much, got the buffet breakfast and you'll have to take my word for it but I ate are least another third on top of what I did this morning.
 
I just cannot see how it is physically possible to eat that amount. His stomach must have the elasticity of bubble gum

He's a real health freak believe it or not, into his food science, on his off days, he eats high nutrition low calorie food and does a lot of walking apparently, well, must do otherwise he'd be the size of a house

Although I watched one and he said the amount of sodium he ate, his feet swelled up, I mean, that's never happened to me....
