    I like a fried breakfast but proper greasy spoons are dying out.

    Last week I found of my favourites down here (60s fittings, tomato shaped sauce bottles, dead flies in window, miserable old bloke cooking) had been taken over. Previous price for the job lot £4.50. Now for some comedy imitation of a breakfast £7.90. Nice décor but I don’t go in to eat the wallpaper and tablecloths. Any top tips for fry ups? Anywhere in the country. You never know when you need a fry up.

    I’ll start. Flamborough. Cliff End Café. https://cliff-end-cafe.business.site

    I mean look at that. Work of art on a plate.

    Not a greasy spoon, but seriously good breakfasts.

    Pigsty in Bristol. From the Jolly Hog chaps you might see in supermarkets... products... not the chaps!

    Yorkshire puddings and gravy on a breakfast can't beat it. :)

    Me Dad used to like to take me to Red Beck Cafe on the way to Wakey now and again.

    When I lived in Bridgend there was a Cafe on the industrial estate that did a very good fry up , I forget its name now.

    They seem to have changed it since I last went (which is 2 years ago now), but I'm sure you can shed the avocado! Wildbeer is just across from it, so you can pig out for brunch, then leisurely stroll 20 yards and enjoy a drinking session as you look out onto the lovely quayside.

    The Student Campus in Edinburgh , stayed there once during the Students holiday periods.
    Reasonable priced and the Breakfasts are outstanding with anything you can think of for a breakfast and beyond IMO .
    From any cereal you care to mention to white pudding along with black pudding , few different varieties of sausage and smoked or ordinary bacon , eggs fried, poached, boiled or scrambled , pancakes , omelette,kippers, finny haddock,chips.croquettes,waffles.
    Hams, fresh fruit ,yoghurt , croissants. The offering was unbelievable with juices tea coffee, etc .
    I could hardly walk when I came out :)
    Ps
    Haggis was also on offer along with a few more which I can’t remember name of but we’re local specialities.
    It was all self service too

    The old type static caravans that have been flung into laybys and have been transported into a 1970s experience, old Margaret battering the 5hit out of the scramble egg and her hen pecked other half with a 70s name of Keith who is stood with a roll up in his mouth frying eggs in week old fat, plastic flowery table cloths and yesterday's tabloids, probably not good for ya health but no doubt fantastic nostalgic scoff. Served by Keith.

    That sort of thing can happen anywhere.

    Remember when I was just out of uni and doing come waitering. A group of City Boys were giving me some real stick – for being a stupid northerner basically. It was only a small place like a bistro and the Aussie chef noticed. He got their steaks out, trod on them, kicked ‘em round the floor, and spat on each one before cooking it. Never piss off a waiter, especially before you’ve got your snap (not saying you did in that sausage incident)

    No I would never treat waitering staff badly for that reason alone and basically because there is no need for it - treat people as equals whoever they are, that is the way I was brought up, unfortunately there are people who think because they hold a position they consider to be higher than someone else it somehow gives them the right to be superior to them
