Breakfast
Please help yourself
For your convenience, there is a self-service buffet available for breakfast, including freshly grilled bacon, free range scrambled eggs, Dingley Dell pork sausages, black pudding, hash browns, grilled tomatoes, hash browns, and farmhouse toast. [Not mentioned but always on offer: mushrooms and baked beans].
Brought to your table
Please order via one of our lounge hosts:
Traditional porridge oats served with honey and cinnamon, or sultanas and brown sugar.
Cured kippers served with poached egg
Great British breakfast sandwich with grilled back bacon and fried egg on a toasted wholemeal bloomer
Boiled egg with toasted toasted soldiers
Eggs benedict (actually only one egg).
(nothing is marked as vegetarian, but I guess the boiled egg and porridge must be).
Note that you can swap items around a bit, so it's OK to ask for kippers and fried eggs, for example.
Rest of the day:
Hot and cold buffet served from 12 noon until the lounge closes. Items change regularly both within days of the week and on a weekly cycle, typically there are 4 or 5 hot items available at any one time, plus potatoes / vegetables.
