Not hard to get right but as you said so many manage to get so wrong.

I was amazed and took it to the man who had 1 mouthful and spat it on the beautiful carpet. He told me it was disgusting and that I should sack the chef and left. I went to the young Irish chef and enquirer how he managed to make it so quickly as the gentleman said it was horrible, the chef retorted I used the hot milk on the back of the stove Tim?? Ahhhhhh I said the warm one you've just poached smoked haddock in!! Lesson of the day don't be late for breakie as you never ever know!!

For me, toast needs to be warm (the amount of places who serve cold toast is amazing!), bacon just right (not burnt to a crisp), beans (can take them or leave them), mushrooms..as you can see I like my food!

For me, it has to be served on a big round plate (or oval), and you have to be able to offer all of the essentials such as sausages, bacon, eggs, hash browns, beans, a mushroom or tomato and even black pudding! Admittedly I'm fussy, so I'd ask for it without mushroom, tomato and black pudding. Quality of the meat is important to me, I've been to hotels where the sausage must have been a better value sausage. Just plain cheap and nasty. If I'm paying a low cost for breakfast then I expect it but a lot of hotels (mainly in the city) charge near £25 for breakfast! Breakfast is my favourite type of meal, always has been.
