Harvester unlimited breakfast

[cheesefest]

The best breakfast buffet I went to was a Hilton in Memphis. It’s about a mile from Beale Street. The range of food was amazing and even a chef that cooked omelettes on the spot, with up to three items from a choice of c25.

My parents and I didn’t stay there. We stayed at a hotel across the road.

Then another breakfast buffet that I enjoyed was the hotel we stayed at in Jurmala - a coastal resort about 20 miles west of Riga, Latvia. Even had wine! This was much better than the failure of the previous nights dinner.

Id pay £20 and have as much as you can eat twice .

No flies on me

I did used to partake of obscene breakfasts, particularly when hungover.

When you hit a certain age though, managing your digestive system becomes a priority...and plugging yourself up with meat and fat isn't appealing anymore

I learned my lesson if I'm honest.

Don't get me wrong but how can anyone say 'Harvester quality' or 'Toby carvery quality'? There is only one way to fry an egg, cook a sausage, cook hash brown. A michelin star restaurant wont cook a fried egg any different to Toby or Harvester. Does anyone realise any breakfast that is cooked in a place owned by Michell and Butlers is cooked the same way. Toby is the best value of course. If these places are cooking to spec than there will be zero difference in quality.

Lol.

Also think about the quality of the food, to be frank Toby, harvester etc are bottom of the ladder... if you are happy to eat that then good for you

No there isn't...
Also a Michelin star restaurant isn't going to be using smart price eggs, McCain's hash browns or Richmond sludge sausages

Funnily enough I had this convo with a friend of mine a few years back who worked in a posh restaurant, not quite Michelin star, and he said they used Burford Browns. I get them sometimes from Sainsbury’s, but they’re really expensive for eggs, £3 for half dozen. They have amazing yolks.

They're top tier eggs, I grab a box for a weekend treat.

If you want an all you can eat breakfast the Harvester one isn't completely awful but these days I would rather pay a bit more and get less of better quality. If you on a lads weekend and need something to soak up the booze it would probably be a decent shout though.

We lost power over the weekend, and since everything in the house is electric out here, we went to the local Beefeater for their AYCE breakfast... and to charge phones, warm up, etc. Everything but a shower, pretty much.

Wasn't bad. Better than expected. Limited cereal options (muesli or Weetabix™), but choices of toast, pancakes, bagels and crumpets.
Grabbed maybe nine sausages, about the same in bacon, six eggs, three rounds of mushrooms, couple of beans, two cups of coffee. I went slightly over my quota, as I know at least one daughter will want to nick a couple bits, because Daddy's plate always has better food.

Family of four very well fed for about £15, in the end.

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.

That'll probably be nice with around 1.5 litres of tomato ketchup

I admire your staying power and your unwavering determination to get your money‘s worth

The most annoying part of those pictures is the tomato sauce sachets. God give me strength or preferably a bottle.

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.

Totally love the "needless to say I've not had anything else to eat today either" after eating a weeks worth of food in one sitting.

You Sir deserve a Lad medal

@BUDFORCE good effort Sir!
