Agree with other commentators, as someone born and bred in Belfast I can say that an Irish breakfast without potato farls and soda bread is not an Irish breakfast. Not sure where the fried bread is either. If potato farls are not available it is traditional to have fried potato leftovers

As a irishman i have never had a irish breakfast anywhere in Ireland without tea/coffie included its a important part of it

I think for the portion size, the tea could have been included in the £12 price.

I truly miss a good ole British breakfast. Been over 50 years now, when in the military stationed in Suffolk county. Blessings from Texas,USA. 👍😊❤

I reckon £8-9 would be a fair price. For £12 I'd expect an extra sausage and soda bread or fried slice. But think they need smaller plates. Unless they pile it up I think the portion will always seem small. I'm a beans on plate person. Especially with fried bread. It soaks up the bean juice! But in all honesty, for me, the nicest part is the mop up at the end! 😅 Love the vlog. I'd go for a 7

It looked very well presented and nicely cooked. It looked delicious. I like the beans as presented separate. The portions would be ok for me. I would also have thought the tea would have been incorporated in the overall price. It is afterall only water, tea, milk. 8/10

I just found your channel today, and really love it. Something to watch while having my dinner. As an Irish person, that breakfast looks a bit sparse, but it certainly looks tasty. Keep up the great videos 👍😋

Its missing both Potato Bread and also Soda bread we have with our frys here in ireland. Its exceptional. They defo should have gave at least 2-3 sausages also

Expensive for what it was. I used to have a cafe and what you had there I would charge about £7 and I'd still make a good profit

It looks like it's been served on a tray rather than a plate. Genuine Irish breakfasts are usually a bit more substantial than that, but I suppose it's not that expensive. I'd want something extra - maybe a fried slice or fried potatoes.

Gary mate, sorry to nitpick but it’s not Clapham, it’s close to Clapham junction station but is actually lavender hill in Battersea. When I was a detective with the police and working from lavender Hill or Battersea nick, i loved going to this pace for their huge all day full English breakfasts! Whoever suggested it to you- great shout out! Have to say though that the breakfasts were bigger when I used to go

I agree that on that large plate it did look sparse, and seemed overpriced for the size, I don’t think I’d visit, but another great, honest, review. Congrats on your increase in subscribers, definitely deserved 🎉👍🏻

Big fan of these videos and this channel. Succinct and to the point and the right length with no guff and flannel. At present this channel is " off the charts" compared to others 😅😅😅😅😅

Gary, one advantage to the beans being served in a deep cup or bowl like the one in this video is that they will stay hotter longer.

Really enjoying the channel. Different calm and very enjoyable

I was expecting some Irish black pudding!

In my view, what separates a full English breakfast from a full Irish Breakfast is the fried bread in an Irish full breakfast - usually potato bread (fadge), soda bread and/or Irish wheaten bread. Also most Irish full breakfasts usually include a potato patty or similar. What you had there Gary was a full English breakfast.

Hello Gary. I agree with the portion size but at least it was mostly quality food and the cafe looked very nice inside. We don't have baked beans or sausages with our cooked breakfast here but when my wife& I were in the UK recently (20/7-31/8) we did enjoy these extra items on our breakfast when we did eat out. We did visit the Regency Cafe for breakfast and we we suitably impressed by the portion size, quality & the service. Really loving your videos Gary - a really nice way to start my day.

*Another spectacular gem find 🙌🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻*

I love your reviews Gary. Especially the cheap v Expensive English Breakfast. With the Irish breakfast I thought maybe there may have been some form of potatoe added ?? Either way I would have loved that breakfast. I was close to your score as I thought you would score it a 7. As a British born Sikh punjabi my favourite thing in the world ever is always going to be a full English breakfast ❤

Even though it was quality, have to say that the portion size was too small. For 12.50£ I would have expected a bit more on the plate. But another great review in the bag, Gary and congrats on reaching 4000k subs so quickly. It feels like yesterday it was only a couple of hundred of us. Keep up the fantastic work, mate!

Down to earth honest review,.and not afraid to say so...more people like you young man....Ireland

First time I’ve seen you start with something other than the sausage. Thanks for these I love them.

That breakfast looks amazing as does the cafe. Never heard of white pudding but if I'm ever near Clapham I'll give this place a visit for sure!!!!

I note your subscriber level incease daily. Well done. Great vids. 😊

Never tried white pudding? I love the breakfast streams 1st then The Sunday Roasts a close 2nd. Great stream as always Gary..keep on trucking🎉

Congrats on 4K subs mate. 👍🏻

Another great honest review Gary. I agree with you on two very important things... 1) It should be marked down if the portion small 2) Mushrooms are definitely uggy !

another great video garry .the price of the breakfast was quite high for the small portion .keep up the good work gary.

Looks an awesome breakfast! I’m going to try and replicated Sunday morning .

My band used to play at the Guinness Jazz festival every year. At the digs we stayed in, the landlady brought out our breakfast it arrived on a massive silver platter that was full to brim. Entire band looked at each other and said there’s no way we’re all gonna get through that. Then she brought out another four. Every platter was actually an individual breakfast!!

Looked a very good quality breakfast Gary. The bacon was cooked just as I like it, everything looked perfect. I defintely prefer the beans kept separate from the rest of the beakfast. Interesting tray like plate..All in all I really liked the look of the food and the cafe itself. I agree not the biggest portion but it seems like there is usually a trade off between quality and portion size. Great video Gary, happy eating and long may it continue. 🙂

I don’t think the plate helped. It made it look a very meagre portion. But obviously quality ingredients. Great video Gary. You have become my go to KZfaqr. Love your videos mate. Keeping it honest and real. Keep up the good work.

Evening again Gary cafe looks quite good for Clapham! Breakfast presentation didn't look great to me but you seemed to like it! Glad beans in separate dish which I prefer. No to black and white pud but know you love it. Thought it was ok for the money.

Fine Video As Always Gary But Cant Be a Full Irish Without Fried Soda and Potato Bread None Of This Toast Malarkey And One Sausage (sad) Regards mike.

Another enjoyable review. Two fried eggs and two slices of black pudding impressed me - I would have given them eight.

Another great review Gary. As you said it looked a very small breakfast for £12. It always makes me chuckle when people say they prefer the beans served on the plate. Surely all you've got to do is tip them onto the plate? When served on the plate you can't put them back in the bowl if that's your presentation preference.

When I was a kid dad took us to southern Ireland every year for our 2 week holidays. Salt hill, achill island,galway,connemarra.I wanted to bring one of the Donkeys back to look after it , it's hooves were upturned and neglected 😂 didn't understand dad saying no until I was older 😊 xx

A full Irish or Ulster Fry is usually a lot more substantial than this. Kidneys normally form a part, potato cakes and some hot soda bread. Could have done with being on a plate rather than a floor tile !! Sausage looked good. I prefer the beans separate unless I am having a fried slice or two when I like the beans on a corner of the slice. £12 isn't too bad bearing in mind the location. I think 7.5 is fair. I would have given a 7. Great review as always.

Gary, You do it in a way that I love. I am Spanish (Mallorca) you have to show that you are doing it...that in England you can also eat very well. Congratulations

Another great review, Gary. Did I spot a chip on the bowl of beans? I’d have personally knocked a point off for that 😜 Congratulations on the 4k subscribers! Well done!

That looks lovely Gary,but being Irish myself I would have soda bread instead of toast…

4k whoo hoo.. well done mate! 🎉

Being from Dublin myself, I was looking forward to this one but toast??? Where was the soda bread? 😝 In all seriousness it did look good but the portion was a bit small. I think your score of 7.5/10 was justified.

That looked like an honest breakfast, as others have said the cost of ingredients these days is affecting some businesses more I would think. I'd always pick quality over quantity, and with all things considered, yes, maybe a bit light but fair I'd say. It looked nice and and another good review.

Gary once again a great review ! yes it was a bit sparse but still looked good

You can always pour the beans on the breakfast so its no big deal. Excellent review gary would of been nice if they had given you an extra sausage as you never had any mushrooms but all the same the breakfast looked really nice.

Firstly - well done on the 4k subs Gary, been a subscriber from the start and its great to see the channel continue it's growth. Secondly - that breakfast looked a joke for the price! There is at least a double mark up on price vs cost and to charge on top for the tea is ridiculous - whatever the postcode is no one should be ripped off. Paulos and Terry's both in London too and you got so much more! Cannot comment on the size of the sausage as I haven't had as many as you to have a comparison chart! :)

Another good video 😊 i think we get bigger portions the more north you come

Looked great. Nice review 👍

Parisienne monsieur, avec le Irish breakfast and accordian reggae backing track. Love it. Fusion. The menu looks really good. Not the biggest sausage I've ever seen, said the actress to the bishop. Did you do a combo? Looked back and you did, but didn't mention it. It's like your trademark. Taste each food individually, then, 'let's try a combo!'.

Informative video again Gary. I would personally give extra marks for portion size.Much better for digestive system and quality should always beat quantity in my opinion.

Love my beans on buttered toast I'd love more tomato 🍅 if I was eating it looks nice eggs looked perfect yum 😊😊😊😊 cup of tea can't go wrong

Love all the comments about no potato bread or soda bread. I agree, my late mother 🥰 was from Belfast and I've had a few Ulster frys in my time. Potato and soda bread very delicious. Grandmother used to make soda bread ❤

Great vlog yet again Gary, but firstly congratulations on hitting that 4k + subscribers, you and camera person are clearly doing it right. As for the Breakfast i think it was a fare size, it even had two eggs. Sadly the cost of goods these days and what with Gas and Electric prices being what they are, most eateries are having to be very careful with there portion sizes and costs. Personally i would give it an 8.5 especially as its a London based business, and i will be honest it was miles ahead of the Harrods breakfast. Chris.

You get the option here (Ireland)of a mini breakfast,I sometimes go for that,you asked for no mushrooms,an extra sausage would've been nice,bacon loooked a bit thin for my liking.

I personally think that £12 was a bit pricey but I guess that’s Clapham prices for you! All looked good though. Tea was a good price! Not too sure about it being served so quickly??? Lovely review, Gary!

great video thanks

Ooh that looked lovely. Could've done with more on the plate, but thats me greedy😂

That looked lovely Gary, 8/10 from me

7.5 for me - said that before your rating! Both on the same plate (see what I did there). And keep the Rosie Lee catchphrase.'Nice cuppa of Rosie Lee' - defo a T-shirt print!

Looks Yumilicous, 9/10,never knew you have irish roots.they could have given the cup of táe with it.

Mr Gary weres the veg roll being Irish breakfast great video as always bit of white pudding doesn't make it lrish 👍does it bit small for the price.anyhow great video

That breakfast looked lovely, As you didn't have mushrooms they could of given you an extra sausage instead! Been in here before and I swapped an item for something else! I have always thought though the tea should be included with the price!

Maggie's in Lewisham is a family-run cafe with an extensive menu. Their menu is as follows: 'Choose from: fried egg, poached egg, scrambled egg, sausage, veggie sausage, bacon, mushrooms, black pudding, liver, fried onions, chips, hash browns, bubble, beans, grilled tomatoes, tin tomatoes, ham, fried slice, toast, bread, bottomless tea or coffee'. There is a stepped price for the breakfast depending on how many items you order. I remember the breakfasts as extremely hearty and I'd eat until I was stuffed. When I paid I was often asked if i was recovering from illness as I'd ordered so little! The wonderful Maggie is no longer with us, but her son has kept up the standards of food and hospitality, I hear.

Sausage looked like it was done in a deep fat fryer but either way there should have been two of them. Tea could have been included for the £12. Some fried potatoes would have went along way on that plate. I'm enjoying your content 👍🇮🇪

Catching up with some of Gary’s earlier uploads. This breakfast I would give a 6/10 without extra sausage bacon and maybe an Irish potato cake.

Good review, think I'd have wanted more for the price, but I'm in Lincolnshire and I expect the prices are considerably higher, come to Mkt Rasen and try the March Hare, lovely food.

Heading to a hotel in Donegal on Monday where the white pudding is lovely at breakfast.

Clapham is in Lambeth. When I was born there it was in Wandsworth. That was just after the war.

OMG it looks like a sea of breakfast! So spaced out! But it all looks good and the place looked nice, toast on the side plate, well done! I give it an 8.5

Looked good to me, don’t have a cooked breakfast too often. £12.50 in London is ok, I live 35 miles away in Bedfordshire and its no less. Great Vid,,,,,

I prefer non smoked Bacon so that was a winner for me, the portion size would have been good for me. I would have asked for no pudding as I prefer mushrooms instead so more mushrooms for me. Great review and the cost of that breakfast matches what we would pay here in Australia

Looked nice and not bad price for London. Your score spot on maybe should have had another slice of white pudding. Don't like it when dishes come with a chip in them ,should throw them out ,was on the bean dish if you misses it x

More a small Paddy. 1 sausage and 1 rasher of bacon?? What’s on a small breakfast?? Only plus point I can see is the HP & the Heinz. Enjoying the channel 👍🏻

Another sausage and bacon rasher and the other half of the tomato would make it good value. Plus I don't expect to pay £1.10 for a cup of tea when paying £12 for a breakfast.

Great vlog again Gary great review , although the food was good. Quality , could have had a bit more fir £12.50

Toast on the plate, eggs on the toast, baked beans in and around.

Have to agree that the breakfast looked a little light on and the serving plate was much too big. However compared to the Harrod's breakfast it looked good. Enjoying your travels and reviews very much, best wishes from far away Tasmania!

Go to the cafe in Beddington Park. The breakfast looked nice but expensive for portion size

Did look nice Gary but I agree was a tad small another sausage would of gone down well 7/10 😊

Looks nice, but for 12 quid personally I would expect more food on the plate.

I need to stop watching your videos before bedtime 😂 🥱

Afternoon Gary Will you be venturing out of London , I’m from Oxford some interesting place to eat in the city I would have thought

i find the Scottish breakfast the best one

Sausage and puddings look like they have been dipped in the fryer to reheat. Hence the short waiting time. At the price, its a pass from me. Glad u enjoyed it all the same 👍

Hi Gary, thanks a lot for the review. I think the watercress was rocket? in which case I would have sent it back because I hate the taste of rocket! As you rightly say a Chop House with only one chop? Poor. I love Barnsley Chops, good norther dish, but no mint sauce is unforgivable ! Overall a nice place but very expensive for what you got and 7 was a fair score 👍

Ingredients looked good quality. Was it worth £12?, probably not. (on looks alone).

That took me back to 1990! We were sent to Ireland for work, crossing from Fishguard to Rosslare on the 2am ferry, Jan 1st. Due to an error in booking, the promised motel for a few hours, to eat and rest, was closed, as were all restaurants after the last motorway cafe. So we'd nothing to eat or drink since leaving home early that afternoon. Our trip was thankfully smooth, so once we disembarked we drove about 20 minutes out of Rosslare and found a small transport cafe open. (it was just after 7am) We had the Irish breakfast and some steaming hot tea. It was so needed and we enjoyed it so much that, on our way home a few months later, we stopped and had the same meal on the way back to catch our ferry! A lovely memory! Thank you, Gary!

That looks very nice gary A hash brown maybe Some bread 7 our of 10

Did look quality produce but not really value for money, not enough for the cost. Should be 2 sausages at least. But great video again, keep it up 👍

I did think it was a smallish portion for the price but it did look good quality and well cooked but once again the proximity of the eggs and beans we're a problem for me. 😊

It looks tasty but not strictly an Irish breakfast due to the omissions some of your other commentors mentioned. Also baked beans are a relatively recent addition to the Irish fry. I remember when I moved to England in the late 1980s I thought it was absolutely mental when I got beans with a fry. However ,it has grown on me and it is more usual to get beans in Ireland these days.

Agreed, the portion size was tiddly and sorta.. miserly.. to the usual hearty stick-to-your-ribs generosity Irish breakfast we enjoyed as kids. Mash, 2 sausages, eggs, bacon, tomatoes, tinned spaghetti (beans create an atmosphere no one needs in the morning) separate bowl, looks best. Toast, white with jam on the side. Tea is free and unlimited. Do restaurants often separate the sides and tea, especially if the meal traditionally comes with it? Gary and Cameraman, great content! Thank you kindly again.❤️💛💚💙🩵💜💖💕🥰

I saw the smirk when you said it's not the biggest sausage you've seen 😂

Very Yum.

Luv ❤️

£12. Wow. Great channel btw

Try Halepi in queensway. Beautiful

As we might say in Aussie Presentation is a bit "Ow y'goen" know what I mean , still food looks ok ,,but nothing special , Garry you always put on a good show mate ,,cheers
