Let's up the game a bit. Friday and Saturday brunches are the norm out this way. 2 examples;
McGettigans Brunch(pub) includes all you can eat from a fairly wide variety including eggs benedict, rib of beef, pork belly. Runs from 12-4 and includes beer, wine, cocktails. Now, if 4 hours of eating and drinking is not enough, from 5 to 8 is all you can drink, Drunch!

Movenpick (Hotel) same time and drinks but the food is everything from oysters, lobster, sushi, all the way through to rib of beef, steaks etc.
All of the above has live music throughout and can get very messy, especially McGettigans that has the Drunch! Movenpick is more sedate but lovely.

West is BEST
Teddies tearoom, East St, Shoreham-by-Sea.

Full, fully loaded eggs Benedict.


I do find the staff fine, although a little awkward. There’s something about the place that never makes me feel truly welcome.

Nevertheless, a good feed.

Teapots need to be larger though. Only get two small cups out of it, at a push .

Mr Egg in Birmingham is king of the brunces and they dso their infamous Egg grill (an eggy version of a mixed grill) with poached eggs, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, fried egg and roasted eggs served with a hunk of bread and a mountain of chips.

I was going to post similar yesterday, but you've done all the work for me.

Have done the very same more times than I can remember. Brunch/Drunch for 4 people used to be the top prize in the Tuesday quiz night in the Movenpick, JBR. We had an ok team and there wasn't a whole lot of competition, so we'd win it every couple of weeks!

The drinks were all ordered before the end and systematically lined up - they'd last late into the evening. As you say, the food was amazing with various cooking stations around the place - lobster, sushi and sashimi, oysters, Wagyu steak and a whole lot more.

Combine that with back to back Premier League games during the afternoon / evening in the sports bar where we ended up with our drinks and it was a winner. And all free. :)

Eggs Benedict is my favourite brunch ever. Whilst I love avocado on toast, with a poached egg too, any old sausage can do that themselves, not sure why its become so popular...but a good hollandaise is a treat indeed, with a super good coffee....amazing!

My first was at a beautiful Mom/Pop boutique B&B in Lone Pine, California, on the border of Death Valley.

They had chickens in the back, everything homemade, and I’ve been chasing that quality since. Probably the best meal I’ve ever had, so simple and all 100% organic.

Salivating just thinking about how good it was.

I had the pleasure a few years back in celebrating an aunties birthday at the Landmark hotel in Marylebone with a champagne brunch.
It was an astonishing spread.
Being the glutton I am I was drifting in and out of consciousness I ate so much.

And the others were drifting similarly, but that was from your repartee ;)

Just looked it up, but we didn’t visit Big Pine - it’s about a 40 minute drive from Lone Pine. So many Pines!

We did go to the delightful Margie’s Merry Go Round (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaur...ie_s_Merry_Go_Round-Lone_Pine_California.html)

Best Chinese I’ve ever had, cooked by Margie, a little old Chinese grandma with a massive wok and a big smile. Lovely family business. Hope she’s still with us.

Seems Lone Pine and Big Pine do particularly exceptional, fresh food. I wonder if it’s a regional thing where standards are particularly high in that area
