£30 for breakfast Maclad? They better have fried quails eggs and pate de fwaa graaa

There is no way I would paying £30 for breakfast. It sounds quite ridiculously pricey.

My thoughts are about how much petrol £90 would buy instead of staying there...My A5 won't even hold £90 worth...🤔😏😏😀😳🇬🇧

The quality of your editing is superb. I watch alot of channels and yours is in my top tier. I respect the effort you put in.

Great channel Lee, I remember I used one of those toast machines in a hotel to make a bacon and cheese toastie, toast the bread first then ad the bacon and cheese and pass it through the machine again, it worked a treat.

Paddy Mc Guinness doesn't belong within a million miles of being on TV. He is about as funny as piles to a jockey.

@The MacMaster , Lee set your table up first, Coffee orange and toast done , then the breakfast to save it going cold

Having cerial and a fryup is crazy in either order lol I'd struggle to finish my fryup haha, great vlog again Lee

Marmite on toast , love it, not many places have it at breakfast time

A fair review. Can't say I'd ever stay at that particular Holiday Inn as its about 8 miles from my house and I'd rather spent the extra 15 minutes driving home 😁 For a trip up to Edinburgh I'd have to recommend going the A68 route, so much more scenic than going up the A1. Only trouble is you're driving a milk float and doubt there's any charging points that way 😁

😂😂❤ cutting click on the video for this for soon as I seen the word Dreadful keep up the good work lee!

£30 extra for breakfast 😂 I thought you said it was a holiday Inn not the ritz 😅

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, Glasgow airport in 2019 the night before we flew out to Benidorm (first time). Because the flight was at 7.15am and we had to check in at 5.15am, the only thing that was on offer at 4.30am in the morning was Continental breakfast - but better than nothing! Included in the price. Next time we went to Benidorm we stayed at the Holiday Inn, Glasgow airport. Had to be up at the same time. We didn't even get a Continental breakfast offered to us at that hotel - it was "too early"! So this September, we are back staying at the Holiday Inn Express! Good vlog, Lee, as always.

"Whoever invented those toasters must have invented electric cars"🤣🤣

HP on a breakfast all day! people who put ketchup all over it aren't right😂

Lee, it's so nice of everybody to tell you how to eat. Every day. Another song about Holiday Inns is from Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention (c. 1970). Everything looked fine to me, and I would have had some of all of it, except for the bacon, black pudding, "hash browns" (which they weren't), and marmite. Now I guess I'll be called the spawn of the Devil incarnate. It's just bleedin' breakfast!

Marmite is wonderful

Great informative video, found you via walk on the wild side, new friend, big like 👍👍😊

Top tip Lee. If you need an extra breakwater between the tomato’s and the egg or the beans. A thin squirt of HP makes a good if soft breakwater.

Hi Lee totally agree with you regarding the toaster...it stops me from having toast and where we go they only have one toaster....as for the breaky Im like you I have the fry up first then the cereal

Great to see you on Wildside Stephen’s vlog last night, you were great Lee. I’ve never been in a Holiday Inn let alone have their breakfasts. Hash browns just not the same as those in the States. It was frustrating watching you trying to put the jam on your plate. I love Marmite have done since I was a kid. Love my toast too but definitely cereal before main breakfast Lee and not the other way. Incidentally Alpine cereal is one of my favourites especially with ice cold full cream milk, you should try it sometime. Not sure the breakfast was worth the money though.

As a chef that breakfast looks disgusting I would never serve that

I bloody love Marmite on toast. 😋

Glad to see you again. Missed the channel after 8 weeks in Sunderland General with Sepsis and veinous interruptus. How is the blonde angels son getting on.

We stay at the holiday inn express at Stockport before we get the coach for our main holiday ,we have breakfast as well I found the breakfast enjoyable at the Stockport one and the staff were excellent.

Hi there Lee I’m just about to take over as head chef at Holiday Inn Darlington North. I’ve watched the whole video and some good feedback I really appreciate it. The issues that you brought up I will look into them and rectify this and maybe hopefully bring the breakfast up to a 10!

Great video Lee,it did look alright to me mate

Brilliant vlog lee.. it's all toast

I was trying to calculate the calories in your breakfast and I am jealous. Even if I ate nothing else in a day, I would gain weight. As a result, I ignore the temptation and skip the supposedly "most important meal of the day." It is important - mostly for farmers, food manufacturers and restaurants. But I do enjoy seeing you enjoy it.

Watching you recently I bought today some tinned tomatoes and black pudding for my breakfast in the morning. Also some large mushrooms.

Stuoid question Lee i might of missed it so sorry if that is the case what was the price for the breakfast or is it included in the price of the bedroom thanks

Haha, good effort. It actually looked pretty decent that, though I may have been swayed by memories of breakfasts in the galley at HMS Nelson & Raleigh 🤣

People think I'm weird as well because I always have my cereal afterwards but they think I'm more weird than that because I love marmite 😋

My Dad used to embarrass the hell of me when we used to go to Hotels all you can eat.Use to stuff himself six sausages , three eggs , five rashes of bacon etc used to get his money worth alright. Wasn’t even a big man lol .

It all looked a bit cold, I didn't see any steam and the bacon was cooked by a heat light rather than a flame

You know I'm watching you put that breakfast together and just watching you do it that is a lovely breakfast. Now I'm going to watch the end of your video and see how you li😊ke it LOL

That's that song firmly in my head, cheers Lee! Lmao! Why does that bacon look so bright pink on the buffet?! Sausages look ok, hash brown done nicely, still unsure of that pink bacon haha!! At least the toast was done 'ok' on one side lmao! I doubt the beans were Heinz for cost purposes, but then again, I think that price is very high for a breakfast!! Could you go back and get more of the fry-up? If it was £90 for the night and £120 including the breakfast, I got to go with a 6.4 🫤

Lee your in my neck of the woods here, next time you're up here please, please visit Durham City for Bell's National Award winning Fish n' Chip Restaurant in the Market Place and a must to look around the Magnificent Durham Cathederal!

My experience of the holiday in breakfasts was about a 6 or 7 so okay filled a gap looking forward to Bonnie Scotland!!🤓

£120 inc breakfast! That's crazy money for a Holiday Inn. Premier Inn is much cheaper and you get brekkie included. Why was it so expensive? Was it because you didn't book in advance? I think Alan Partridge will be seriously considering legal action over your sausage breakwater comment. Didn't you know that's copyrighted

The last times I've stayed at a Holiday there was no fried eggs only scrambled egg. I Have never tasted eggs like them no flavour had to mix it tomato sauce to make them taste of anything.

Some cost cutting going on with the jam and the cereals in the bowls. They could be supermarket own brand and you have to like it or lump it.

hi lee.hope you are well . what another great review what more can we expect from you.i must say the breakfast was quiet good especially having the hash browns i prefer them to fried bread all in all a decent breakfast .stay safe stay well👍👍

I've never stayed at the hotel chain but have regularly stayed at Premier Inn and years ago the buffet breakfast use to be fantastic but now they're absolutely rank rotten now.. Your best finding a grease spoon cafe for something better..

Id have the cereal/continental selection after the fry up too as it acts as a sort of dessert or as you'd call it a pudding! :)

I was thinking Hotel California. got to say that Breakfast looked delicious nowt wrong with that, I could eat one now. Loved the Vlog Lee. Onwards

Glad to see you're enjoying the black pudding & i thought the beeakfast looked very 👍 👍

To be fair that looks really good breakfast. Good selection of cereal toast jam and my favourite marmite. It’s what I would expect at a Holiday Inn or similar.

Yeah, those toasters are frustrating. When I stayed at The Grand in Brighton last year, I put my toast through twice and I thought I was gonna set the fire alarm off🤦‍♂️😂

Doing the work so we don't have to. Great video Lee ❤

Breakfast isn't complete without marmite on toast. Yum yum

what kind of weirdo has room left for cereal after an all you can eat full English 😮 😂😂😂

I like staying in holiday Inn when I am travelling as you get breakfast included. 7 / 10 is about where I would rate their breakfasts, maybe 8 as the best thing is you can have as much as you like and you can also take out some breakfast baps for lunch latter. My son loves the hot chocolate

Almost got a cup of coffee there Lee.

Looks like things have gone downhill rapidly since the last time I was a hotel inspector at Holiday Inn (not under the false name I use for utube...). Black pudding cubes are new, fetching your own bleddy cutlery is new, and stupid. The biggest eye opener for me was to learn how chain hotels make scrambled eggs - it involves a lot more than eggs than you'd like to think... I'd give this an 8 for the fresh ingredients, but if the coffee machine was not filled with all due haste it would lose another mark.

I would expect all the cooked breakfast cold by the time you get to eat it. Why not get the butter, nutella and jam while your toast is cooking.............

Must admit i do love a buffet breakfast,you can always have more of your favourite items😋

This is just a few mins from me! Love the way it actually looks like someone's kitchen! Breakwaters are impossible when you have beans AND tinned tomatoes as those 2 things mixing are awful 😀

Brill blog.. 👍. Buffet puts me off. In the Summer flies landing on the food . However £30 steep ... Did look half decent . When you coming to Cardiff ? 👍👍

I had the breakfast in Holiday Inn Docklands and it was wonderful & the staff were outstanding (who even cooked us things specially). Big thumbs up from me.

Did Alan Partridge invent the sausage breakwater ? He wouldn't have committed any rookie errors ( as he was at a travel tavern for almost a year) Great vid 😊

Marmite is amazing, especially with cheese and butter on a jacket spud. Other than that I agree with almost everything you say MacMaster. However I do not get Hash Browns. I love potatoes, chips, roast tatties but not them. I must have fried bread with a fry up and plenty of mushrooms and tinned tomatoes and crispy bacon. If I am honest I have never tried black pudding but perhaps one day.

Good luck driving to Edinburgh in the milk float , you might get there before Christmas.🎅🏻

Love the selection 👌

Please hold your knife correctly. In polite society the end should never be seen. IT IS NOT A PEN.

You might be on to something, I always have my cereal before the fry up but when you think about it cereal is sweet, a bit like a desert and your only really ruining your appetite by eating your cereal before the mains. Next time I'm going to try your way and if it doesn't work I'll blame you 😅

I will just about eat anything but marmite, it is an absolute no no. I even eat kimchi which is fermented cabbage and veg, so I think that says a lot about marmite 😅. Holiday Inn breakfasts are not the best, I do like to stay there and evening food is good if you cannot be bothered to go out but is a little expensive.The Hilton is far superior and not necessarily more expensive depending on which one you choose to stay at. Great vid bud👍

Been to one in Middlesbrough, I can't have milk, they were very helpful and got me some soya milk. Food was excellent.

What have you got against Marmite lovers? I'll bet half of your subscribers love a bit of Marmite. 😉

I didn't know that you're supposed to have cereal first, but there again I'm from Mansfield!

Last month the wife and I went to Wembley for the England Ukraine game we stopped at the Holiday Inn in Slough hotel was brilliant the breakfast was superb to be honest your breakfast looked nice I have my cereal first like most folk I presume we had a 15 minute walk to Wetherspoons in slow lovely pub for a few pints but to be honest that walk isn’t recommended on a dark night I thought we were in the Bronks

Give Marmite a chance. I thought I would hate it but I was converted 30 years ago, when I discovered that I actually liked it. I use it on toast and as a soup stock, it's a daily staple for me.

How can you mix coco pops and cornflakes together!!!!!!!!

Hi lee that brekky looked okay like they say cereals first then the fry up i like hash browns if you dont leave them alone i would give that an 8 😂😂❤❤

Just as you put the bacon on the plate, someone downstairs started cooking, I could literally smell it through the screen lol

Since retiring ... Hash browns have become a must on my morning fry up 😊 ... Your overall breakfast, in my opinion, rated a passible 7.

LEE! Where's the Grilled tomatoes for the bacon? that's so yummy together!😋

A decent buffet brekkie, same in all Holiday Inns, stayed in many, UK, Australia etc. There was a good selection of foods and reasonable quality. I like my tomato juice and they rarely put that on. Cereal first ! Jams and Marmite should also have been in little sachets. Anyway a solid 7.5 from me.

Lee, save on cals, leave the butter and take double jam. You get the morning sugar kick you need and texture on the toast instead of melted butter sogginess.

I always have the full english before cereal. I like to have protein and fat first then carbs after.

Oh Lee it looked ok but far too pricy , and Lee you do loads of breakfast reviews which we love you for but I can’t I just can’t enjoy a breakfast without fried bread buddy 😂😂 keep up the outstanding work we love it ❤

Terrible distribution of milk on the cereal there. That has really irked me!! Hahaha.

Never stayed at a holiday Inn, have stayed at the travel lodge and the premier Inn which do you think is the best and why

I would be taking two more eggs, but no thanks for black pudding.

I feel the same way about Nutella as you do about Marmite..."one man's meat..." PS Did you ever return the only HP sauce that you took from the buffet? It looked like the freshest thing on your plate.

Lol that's what I said last time cereal before your cooked breakfast 🍳😊

I've had breakfast twice at a holiday Inn. Both times the quality was poor and the coffee bad. The last time we stayed in one we went in to town and found a small, independent cafe, the breakfast was wonderful and half the price. Holiday Inn ..... not worth it.

Looks ok (minus black pudding) but a stupid way to have to find room on your plate for the jam, next time put it on a saucer or in a cup. I think hash browns are fine on a breakfast, if you like it then why not? Cereal afterwards though? You’re the only person I know who eats ‘the wrong way round’

Marmite love it, great when you come in from the pub

I thought the breakfast looked ok, mushrooms for me always seem to be hit a miss as to whether they are nice or not and you can't tell just by looking at them, I like the large mushrooms the best myself. All breakfasts go up a notch with me when they have tinned plum tomatoes. I've never been to a Holiday Inn, but it seems nice there with plenty of choice for everyone at breakfast.

It all looked very nice and made me feel hungry. Wish I wasn't on a diet. I love Marmite!

We stayed in one in Cambridge the other week. Breakfast was really good. Were do you put it all lee😂

Looks really nice 👍🏻

I'd give it 7.5 need little pots for the jam and marmite on Crumpets is so yummy 😛

A big thumbs up for plum tomatoes.

Looked like a standard hotel breakfast buffet - edible but overpriced. I always look for some form of potato in a breakfast, and hash browns are the best. Tots and breakfast potatoes are also OK. The day I ever listen to anything Paddy McGuinness says is the day the Sun rises in the West and sets in the East. 7/10

Looks like a suitable place for the overseas visitors. No doubt has seen better times.

Had breakfast at a Holiday Inn a while back..it was o.k..but tasted very institutionalised..😲

I thought breakfast was included in the cost of room with Holiday Inn or am I getting mixed up with Holiday Inn Express? The breakfast looked OK to me. Tinned tomatoes too!! Wish they'd all do Tinned tomatoes! Fried bread I'd prefer instead of hash browns.

Can you disclose where youre going in Edinburgh? 😅 I take that's tomorrow?
