Best hotel breakfast I've ever had.
Quality meats, well cooked and crispy hash browns
The lion quays in Shropshire
Looks decent. How was the hotel? Quality meats, well cooked and crispy hash browns

We used to go to the restaurant a lot when it first opened, think it was early 2000s, before the hotel was built.
The restaurant was fantastic at first but we've had a few mixed experiences since. Last time I was there they had whitewashed all of the interior and it just seemed to lose what little character it had before.
The spa is quite nice, although the thermal suite seemed to be showing its age.

Restaurant was updated a few years back and still looking good, guess it was unused for some of that time, couldn't fault anything about it tbhWe used to go to the restaurant a lot when it first opened, think it was early 2000s, before the hotel was built.

Breakfast last week from Bramley Cafe in Leeds, next door to Aldi on Stanningley Rd.
3 bacon
2 sos
2 eggs
2 onion hash browns
spam
beans
toms
mushrooms
2 toast
brew
£7.50
Toast usually comes on a separate plate, but I asked for the toast putting underneath it all . Did give them a rollicking for the beans and toms - told them we're in Bramley, not Harrogate so cut the prretentious BS ! Both pots were swiftly poured over the rest of it. 
It was very good, slightly let down by the sausages which were average at best.
Looks good that, might have to make a journey over one morning - 3 bacon

at the Harrogate comment, would easily be twice the price for that brekkie it it was around here!

I tend to find that the not-so-desirable areas of cities often have the best and cheapest greasy spoons, maybe because their catchment area is generally people on low incomes so don't have much money to spend on "luxuries" such as a cooked breakfast from a cafe. There's actually another decent place quarter of a mile down the road called Jack's Snacks on Hough Lane. I've had a couple of breakfasts there for around the same money and they've been spot on too.

As you say when you want a proper 'greasy spoon' fry-up, a Harrogate breakfast with rare-breed sausages/roasted vine tomatoes/toasted sourdough etc. @ £15 a pop doesn't really pass muster.. Red sauce brown sauce book review
