Foodie Becca tried a variety of full English breakfast boxes from her local takeaways, with different price ranges, and the winner left her pleasantly surprised
There’s nothing quite like a full English breakfast. It’s filling, satisfying and offers a range of items to enjoy, making it difficult to tire of the meal.
Recently, a woman who shares candid food reviews sampled various full English breakfasts, ranging from budget-friendly to premium options available at her local takeaways. Becca set out to determine which would deliver the best taste, and it’s fair to say the findings of her latest review left her pleasantly surprised. In a TikTok video shared with her 589,000 followers, she explained: “Let’s start with the cheapest one… This is from a greasy spoon called Poppin’s Cafe.
“This cost £4.95, we’ve got a piece of toast, a sausage, bacon and a fried egg.”
She began with the sausage, describing it as inexpensive and greasy with “a good amount of flavour”. Moving on to the toast, she noted it “didn’t travel well”.
Becca then highlighted the thick-cut bacon before concluding it represented good value for money.
She gave this breakfast a rating of 5.5 out of 10.
Moving onto the mid-range breakfast from her selection, this one was from Tesco cafe. The meal included three hash browns, two eggs, sausages, a generous portion of beans and some bacon as well – all for £11.40.
Sampling the food and offering her honest assessment, Becca remarked: “The hash browns needed a little longer in the fryer, it’s quite stodgy on the inside but I like how thick they are and they do have nice flavour.”
Taking a bite of the sausage, she commented: “Still quite fatty but I’m enjoying the pork flavours.”
She then noted the basic bacon which – to her preference – wasn’t cooked enough.
When giving her verdict, Becca revealed: “Overall it’s not a bad breakfast, I think £11.40 is a bit steep for the quality you get. I’m going to give this a 6.5 out of 10.”
Finally, her last breakfast – the priciest one – was from Bills.
Upon examining her box, there were two sausages, two slices of black pudding, three tomato halves, baked beans, two slices of bread and “so much bacon”. There were also two eggs, with some mushroom concealed underneath and a total of five hash browns.
She disclosed: “This was £19.95… Looks like a pretty good sausage. Oh Bills that sausage is overcooked, hash browns are really good, I wouldn’t say the quality for me justifies such an exorbitantly priced breakfast.
“I think the sausages are the biggest disappointment, that toast needed more time in the toaster. I’m going to give the most expensive one a 6 out of 10.”
After sampling all her breakfasts, Becca concluded the second meal – the mid-priced option from Tesco – was her favourite.
