| - Not sure what got into me, but I was jonesin' for a full English breakfast! I normally avoid brunch places like the plague, partly because I'd like to think that I can cook most items myself, and also because I hate lining up for mediocre food!
After skimming through Yelp, i wanted to try something relatively new. Could've chosen at least a dozen other spots along our walk, but that would've been playing it safe!
Anyway, we finally reached the resto on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. Walked in and it was so dark, it took me at least 5 minutes to adjust my eyes. With the smell of beer in the carpets, and dingy decor, I knew I had made the right choice!
Finally, I ordered the "Full Monty", which was essentially a full English breakfast, with a crap ton of meat, two eggs, mushrooms, and toast. Also grabbed a fullers pint. My fiancee grabbed the Eggs Laurel ( Eggs Benny).
Portions definitely lived up to British standards, with enough fat/carb on the plate to leave me fueled for days. I couldn't finish it all, but it definitely hit the spot. I could've skipped the beans, but that's just me. Can't speak for the Eggs Laurel, but she said was good.
I should mention they have a big screen, playing the live footy games front and center. Definitely a great, low key spot to watch the game. Looks like they had a few legit dart boards to behind the screen too, which is an added plus.
It wouldn't be my first or second choice, but it makes a solid backup!
