A photograph of an enormous full English breakfast served at a pub in the North East of England has ignited a lively online discussion, with diners overwhelmingly agreeing on one key point about the meal.
Reddit Users Drool Over Massive Breakfast Spread
Shared on the social media platform Reddit, the image showcased a breakfast purchased for £15.95 at the Stone Trough pub in Gateshead, on the outskirts of Newcastle. While the price might initially seem steep for a morning meal, the sheer volume and variety of items included have led many to declare it exceptional value.
A Staggering Array of 21 Components
The plate was loaded with a remarkable twenty-one separate elements. The protein selection was particularly generous, featuring four rashers of bacon, three sausages, two fried eggs, two Scotch eggs, and a portion of black pudding.
Accompanying these were the traditional cooked breakfast staples: baked beans, a grilled tomato, and mushrooms. The meal was further distinguished by its trio of hash browns.
The crowning glory, however, was the bread selection. The diner was presented with three distinct varieties: standard toast, crumpets, and fried bread, offering a carbohydrate feast to complement the savoury components.Universal Praise for Quality and Quantity
The response from the online community was resoundingly positive, with commenters consistently highlighting the breakfast's apparent worth.
"That is one of the best ones I've seen on here. Amazing value for money," wrote one impressed user.
Another joked about the meal's extravagance, stating, "The fullest full English I've seen for a while. Three types of bread! Black pudding! Kinda sexual."
Many acknowledged the £15.95 price point but argued the quality and quantity justified the cost. "That looks incredible, and whilst £16 is expensive, the ingredients look high quality and there's plenty of it!" noted a third user, adding they would detour on trips past Newcastle to try it.
Further agreement came with comments like, "Hefty price but it certainly looks well worth it, lots of good quality ingredients there and looks so well cooked," and the definitive, "Finally. A £15+ fry up that actually looks worth the cash. This is stunning."
A New Menu Addition for the Stone Trough
The Stone Trough pub only introduced its breakfast service at the start of March. In a social media announcement in February, the establishment excitedly revealed its plans, stating, "Big news! Starting next month we'll be open weekdays and Saturdays for breakfast from 8am."
The post also solicited suggestions for naming their signature large breakfast, detailing a lineup that closely matches the now-viral meal, confirming its status as the pub's flagship morning offering.
For residents and visitors in the North East, the Stone Trough's generous full English, now famed for its scale and perceived value, may well have become a must-visit culinary destination.
