If the menu didn't specify truffle oil or garlic butter I'd have sent it back and asked for one without it.
It had all the accruements listed but it was a bit of a word salad and I thought it might’ve been interesting.

Either you’re not very perceptive, or you’re trying to trigger me.

I ordered an “English Breakfast” from the menu at a cafe in Sutton.

“We don’t have an English Breakfast” was the reply.

“Okay, your £14 Signature Breakfast”

The bacon will have been oven cooked in a baking tray with no wire rack and then covered too tightly with foil to keep warm. Because that’s when the crispness leaves the building and soft moves in.

Garlic butter on the bread is surely the biggest sin? That’s going to repeat like a programme on UK Gold and isn’t welcome on a UK breakfast. Beans also over cooked and pesto? FFS.

I'm wondering how the insides of the beans got sucked out?

I have to admit to being a bit of a fan of a poncy breakfast, especially where the addition of foliage is concerned and some nice bread.

Does the addition of truffle oil, lift anything except the price, garlic bread that’ll be revisiting you all day, uncooked toms.

TBH, it smacks of not trying, it’s a no from me.

It was sauce… white truffle sauce. Thankfully, I could lift the top layer of the scramblies off which contained the sauce but it all arrived suspiciously quickly.

A bap for myself and the boy with italian sausages. It was messy and we mopped up the yolk with the remaining handfuls of bread.
