Hotel buffet breakfasts. Your strategy...
Discussion
I like a cooked breakfast, but I'm not a big eater so I have to select carefully. No room to be wasted on toast and cereal. Scrambled eggs, but careful in case they're the instant ones. One slice fried bread if present, else hash brown. One or two rashers bacon depending size. Fried tomato. I love a good sausage, but dislike a crap one, so again, careful assessment needed. Coffee. Juice if my g/f is around to reinforce my healthy credentials.
I've got to admit to loving a Premier Inn / Brewers Fayre breakfast.
£7.95 for all the cereal, juice, pastries and coffee which you help yourself to. Then for the main course you order everything you want from a full English and as much as you want plus you can keep ordering.
So i go for 3 bacon and 3 sausage (both decent quality) 2 eggs fried, mushrooms, beans, hash browns and fried slice. Advantage with this is that everything is cooked to order with waitress service and at the price I think it represents very good value for money

When I stay in a hotel for work, one of the simple pleasures is a massive fry up in the morning.
Invariably I am required to be at work either before the breakfast service starts, or within 10 minutes of the breakfast service starting, so either I end up having just toothpaste for breakers, or running into the restaurant, grabbing a napkin of sausage and bacon and shoving it unceremoniously into my gob as I speed to the workplace.

I remember staying at Le Royale in Beirut for my pal's nuptials to a Lebanese lass. On the night of his stag do i returned to the hotel in the small hours of the morning after consuming my body weight in alcohol and decided it would be hilarious to tick every single box on the extensive room service breakfast card and hang it on the door.
The next morning as I'm lying there nursing a roofie level hangover, two waiters arrived with no less than THREE room service trolleys. i asked them to wheel them onto the balcony and went back to bed until 4pm.

I like this thread.
And we think UK buffet breakfasts are good...
I'm currently in the middle east and it's average in terms of being able to eat your whole days food quota in one sitting. Yes, start with fruit and yogurt but then what?
Chinese?
Indian?
Lebanese?
Englishy/ americany?
From memory Korea was the best...
Suffering jet lag you wake them can't sleep because you're so exited about the utter glutton that's about to happen.
... roast beef, curry, English cooked breakfast, in fact just about every national dish you can imagine but cooked to perfection and in quantities only a true fat fku could appreciate.
They literally cover every nationalities breakfast, lunch and dinner... for breakfast

I am in hospital at the moment, so I can have anything I want for breakfast. In the two weeks I have been here I have not fancied a full English.
I normally have a cup of tea with toast and porridge.
Might try a full English on Sunday, if I feel fed up.
What kind of hospital are you in? When I was in the LGI courtesy of the NHS and a blind motorist I got weetabix and toast. Cooked breakfast? Dream on.I normally have a cup of tea with toast and porridge.

Stayed at a premier Inn a few weeks back for the first time and everything was foul, coukd not eat any of the hot items apart from some toast and beans. The fried eggs could have been used for hockey pucks.
There are a few good buffets out there, the royal York in erm York, and the pullman in liverpool also very good.

I am in the queen Elizabeth burns unit in Birmingham.
I had a toasted bacon and egg sandwich for breakfast today. I must get offered 10 cups of tea or coffee a day.
I was in another hospital last year and they pretty much starved me.
Today for lunch I am having curried goat and rice with rhubarb crumble.
It could be that it is slightly better food because I am not well or its different Nhs trusts priorities.
I would rather be at home.it must be like being in jail. I have not left this doom for two weeks.
Will post up the curry. I cannot imagine a thread soley about hospital food.
