I tried my first full English breakfast at a Wetherspoon pub. It was okay, but some things surprised me. I went to the pub at 9am on a Thursday.

There were already 7 or 8 people inside the pub.

I ordered the traditional breakfast for £6.09. It comes with a fried egg, bacon, sausage, beans, hash browns, and toast. I also got unlimited coffee for £1.85.

The food came quickly and I understood why people like Wetherspoon breakfasts.

My breakfast had a fried egg, bacon, hash browns, beans, and toast.

Many Wetherspoon pubs are in old buildings.

The breakfast was small and not the best, but it was cheap and comforting.

One thing was missing: tomato and mushrooms. You only get them with the large breakfast for £7.69.

Wetherspoon breakfasts are the same everywhere in the UK.

The portions were smaller than I expected. The hash browns were tiny.

Nothing tasted bad, but it was bland. The egg needed seasoning and the bacon had a lot of fat.

It's hard to complain because it was cheap. Wetherspoon isn't trying to be fancy, just a reliable breakfast.
