Wetherspoons Eggs Benedict is the biking weekend away breakfast of champions, Keswick, Peebles, Fort William have all done me proud, and add 2 slices of black pudding and unlimited refill coffee for a fiver all in.
They have also started doing Eggs Balmoral, haggis instead of ham, haven’t had the pleasure yet.
BK XL bacon double cheese burger meal, with a bucket of coke to address the saltiness.
The last wetherspoons eggs benedict I had was cooked through and horrid. Even when they cook it right, the sauce is horrible. I only get one when we’re out as a family and there’s nowhere else with space for the prams/toys and wild kids!
Burger King is not bad at all, the bacon double cheese mentioned above does a right job when needed.
Cafe Rouge is consistently OK, nothing special but you know what you’ll get and know it’ll be OK. Pizza Express is the same, good, functional food.
The legendary Wetherspoons also fits the above description. More often than not you’ll get an Ok feed, a well kept pint and it’ll cost peanuts.
Mac cheese with beef shin from Pret. Eaten messily enough it’s a good way to get two seats for yourself on the 15.00 from King’s Cross to Edinburgh (a similar and slightly more effective tactics can be used with a burrito from Benito”s Hat).
I only ever had Eggs Benedict once at a ‘risky venue’ which was a Morrisons Cafe. It was proper crap on every level (literally – muffin crap, ham crap, eggs crap, sauce crap) so I’d be keen to know whether Weatherspoons has a more refined approach. £5, widely available and a gallon of coffee sounds great!

There is a circle of hell reserved for people who eat stinky food on trains. The only people worse are Virgin Trains who seem to sell the stuff. I’ve never actually worked out what the food/smell they serve is (tuna/cheese toastie, but it smells nothing like a homemade one?) is but it makes everyone except the eater retch.

No way – first 15 minutes of the 1903 out of Kings Cross should smell like a Singapore hawker spot or the world will stop turning. After that people should nicely dispose of their crap and settle down for the journey. I make no apology but people who treat tables as bins should be flushed out onto the track.
These are good:
McDonald
Burger King
Kentucky Fried Chicken
Gregg
Nandos
Acceptable: (but crazy price)
Pizza hut – Tried twice in my life but good in my opinion.
Yo Sushi! – Tried three times in my life to remember the taste. Been there done that not going back.
Shite:
Wagamamas – tried once but never again. You are better off spending your money on the top 5 above. Wagammamas opened a franchise in my hometown … they closed down within 6 months. 😆
Yo Sushi
McDonalds but only their wraps, classic burgers or their specials. Oh and Apple pies.
Nando’s simple but nice
Jamie’s Italian not bad for a chain
Miller and Carter
I went to Wagamamas a couple weeks ago, it’s gone downhill.
