Bacon sandwich survey

I wonder if I am losing touch with reality, a cafe just tried to charge me £4.00 for a bacon sandwich and seemed surprised that I declined. What does one cost in your part of the world?

Anything from a pound to a fiver

£2.50 from a van on the estate, a fair amount of pig in that as well

Edit sorry £3.50

As above.

£4 sounds alright if it’s decent amount of decent bacon on decent bread, if it’s a couple of slices of filo bacon on Sunblest it’s another matter

Oh it also depends how hungover you are

2.50 to 4.00. The van on the industial eastate I work on is 3.50 or maybe 4.00 but it is a big sandwich with lots of bacon. The worst Iahd was at a farm sale last year, 3.50 or more, pre cooked bacon under a hot plate, cheap thin sliced bread.

2 rashers in sliced white I thought that was a pisstake.

You’d be right

Lennys in Old Street station. Roll, 3 thick rashers bursting out the sides, sauce = £2.20. 50p extra for adding a sausage.

Did the establishment selling it you use the word ‘Artisan’ to describe any of the contents. Thats usually the reason used to double the price of something.

Builders merchants behind our office has Nico’s Emporium of Processed Pork Products. Decent sized roll with 3-4 proper rashers is £2.00. Another 40p more for an egg. 60p to add 3 slices of rather fine black pudding.

Sometimes I wonder if Binners and I were separated at birth.

£2.60 for a big floury roll with plenty of bacon and an egg every Friday morning.

I’ve been trying to stay off them but I think vans in Edinburgh are selling for about £2. Last week working in Surrey at one of the RideLondon watering spots a local butcher was selling “a” sausage on a roll for £2.50 which we thought a bit tight, it looked tight, a single sausage in a big white bap.

Two quid, although you do have to put up with the ignominy of purchasing from an outlet that uses the word “snax” in their title.

Fat Friday LOB’s (Lancashire Oven Bottom) from the bakery near the office – the size of your head, and stuffed with bacon, sausage, and an egg – £3.20

£1.80 to £2.50 in the sunny realms of Armley and Wortley.

£3.50 in our restaurant upstairs for a huge baguette filled with sliced pig and 2 eggs. Same price for the sausage equivalent. Both are fan-****ing-tastic.

£3.60 gets you the best bacon butty (Clarkson hesitation)in the world (Clarkson hesitation)

Kens Burger Van on the A38 just south of Gloucester. Enormous french stick, 6 rashers of bacon, 4 fried eggs – £3.50. Free tea or coffee while he makes it too.

£1.50 for two rashers on your choice of soft or crispy roll from the little shop in our building

I paid three quid for two pale soggy slices of middle on a small bap. Totterdown Farm RIAT viewing field. Even the guys serving it up looked depressed, it was like a silent, solemn pigs funeral where the pig was done no credit whatsoever. An insult even.

I’ve paid four quid tops for thick cut proper bread and local home-cured. Max I’d wish to pay for cheapo stuff is 2.50 if very hungry although would prefer to give it a miss tbh.

Bout 1.50

This weekend I might now have to devour a whole pack of finely cured smoked back (8 rashers) in a single bap. Egg and red sauce to accompany.

Slightly OT.
I once went in a cafe and asked for an egg and bacon sandish.
Thin white bread was buttered.
Pre cooked bacon was then microwaved.
Then …………a precooked fried egg was produced that went in the microwave.
The only positive from this traumatic experience was that the cafe owner wasn’t English.
No Englishmen would EVER commit such a crime.

2-2.50.

Egg, Sausage and Bacon in a roll = £2.80. Eat-In, West London.

If you don’t want any of those three fillings you can leave it out and add bit extra of what’s left for the same price.

I wouldn’t mind paying £4 if it was a nice place and i was eating in, however 2 rasher of bacon in a sandwich would be a deal breaker that is too little meat to make up a proper sandwich, there would be gaps all over the place.

Never eat them meself but every Thursday morning we have a delivery at work two rounds of white bread something that may or may not be bacon and something possibly related to a sausage in a white paper bag saturated in grease £1.50 and it’s yours (febrile West Midlands hell pit)

£3 ish in sunny Warwick, £4 for bacon and sausage. It’s good stuff too, 3 thick bacon slices and good sausage. Worth every penny.

No Englishmen would EVER commit such a crime.

I find it hard to think of a crime not at some time having been committed by an Englishman. Unless the mere doing so excludes one from definition.

But yes, margarine on bacon sarnie is so wrong it makes me think dark thoughts.

The sandwich wagon which comes to the office here in Surrey charges £2 for a couple of rashers in a french bap, onions optional 🙂

Cheers, Rich

red sauce

Are you 6 years old?

Brown sauce. The howitzer of condiments. For real men only.

Oh Christ! We’ve crossed the line into preferred condiments AND someone’s used the word bap.

There is no way this can ever be resolved successfully now

£3.60 gets you the best bacon butty (Clarkson hesitation)in the world (Clarkson hesitation)

This I can confirm! Havent been for years but rememeber it well.

Greggs FTW. Ideal hangover cure – bacon & sausage bun AND a latte for 2 quid.

Perfect this morning 🙂

The local bakers will do you 3 rashers and an egg on a freshly baked white roll for £2.10. I have to drive a different way to work so I don’t drive past it. 😀

I am so hungry now 😆

The van near to my work does a belly buster for £3.50 – 4 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 slices of black pudding and 2 eggs. I’m suprised I can still fit through the door!

i hate you lot for starting this thread, i was going to be “good” at lunch time 8)

I have seriously got to start thinking about relocating. My area was on that TV show with the large annoying woman and the foppish bloke about buying houses and now it’s becoming gentrified, I have to drive a fair way to get a decent value fry up these days.

Good to know that some people can still enjoy the traditional and cheap breakfast roll.
