As I said, the range of meat available does sound like a pretty good value once you account for the dollars-pounds issue. Rather a heavy breakfast for my taste, but a good value.



Some people like to pay for ambiance, some don't. Some will find the history more interesting; some don't.



If breakfast is one of life's great pleasures for you, by all means, enjoy. For me, it tends to be a sign that I'm up too early and is a necessary evil to carry me over until lunch.
