Sometimes, all you need is a big cooked breakfast to get your day off to a great start. Whether you’ve woken up after a late night partying in town or just fancy a treat, having a full English breakfast - cooked by someone else - is one of life’s little joys.
It can be sink or swim on occasion, but that perfect combination of bacon, sausage, eggs, beans and those little extras that vary from venue to venue - black pudding, hash browns, mushrooms, plum tomatoes, fried bread and so on - just can't be matched.
We asked our readers where they believe does the best full English breakfast in the city, and received an overwhelming number of recommendations. We have thrown in some of our tried and tested favourites too. Check them out below, listed in no particular order.
