Good breakfast

[TwoPints]

Evening all. Got some friends over from America and we're after a good English breakfast tomorrow. Can anyone recommend somewhere for a really good fried breakfast. Somewhere within half an hours drive of Southampton would be good! Cheers.

The white horse hotel in Romsey serves a cracking breakfast in a lovely traditional hotel. Bloody pricey but superb.

 

Hallidays tea rooms in Bedford place do an amazing brekkie but I think they're shut on Monday. The service is brilliant too and they make a real effort.

 

Sadly there's not one proper cafe that I can think of that does a decent breakfast, unless you want to slum it at selco! Brilliant brekkie in there but I doubt the yanks will be impressed with breakfast above a builders merchants! Double everything (decent quality too), plus black pud, tea and toast for four and half quid.

 

I've always been a fan of the breakfast at Santo lounge, plus their other ones at ocean village and portswood. Less poncey then the white horse and Hallidays.

Bonne Bouche in Hamble High St.

 

At this time of year you don't have to elbow hordes of braying, yah-ing yachties out of the way.

Thanks folks. I was thinking of the Santos lounge so might give that a go, although to be honest the selco option might be just what I'm looking for! I'll check out the Bonne Bouche too as Hamble might be a good option.

East Street Cafe. Genuinely good, proper fry up, if that's what you're after rather than these poncey places.

Well, in the end we heard news that the Penguin Cafe in Lee on Solent had changed hands so we thought we'd check that out. Quite an experience getting there today ... it took a while to get the car door open against the wind and was hard work walking towards the seafront. ?

 

Well worth it in the end though. 6 items for £5 plus tea/coffee included in the price. Great breakfast too. I opted for 2 x bacon, fried egg, beans, saute potatoes and fried bread.

 

Looks like I have plenty of places to try out in future too. ?

If you're coming out to Hamble go to the Bus Stop cafe on Hound Road.

 

It's an old single decker red bus which is now a cafe. They do a great breakfast, plus your American visitors will think it's cute
