It's cheap. It's value as well. What did you expect? If you want top class then it's not the place to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not particularly Anglo-Saxon. Everything else is realistically native to these fair Isles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, the Fry-Up does seem much maligned when discussing British dishes. People always go on about Roasts, Shepard's/Cottage Pie, Wellington, Fish & Chips, (dare I say) Chicken Tikka. However a good old protein rich fried breakfast is ignored. I'd back it for a National Dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Hash browns. No breakfast is complete without hash browns, a 'potato favourite' especially on the Isle of Man apparently: Disgruntled customer threw cutlery holder at McDonald's staff member when he discovered he hadn't been given a hash brown Edited May 11, 2023 by Barlow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price £7.79 The place was nicely busy with the likes of shoppers. Wonderful. The latest beer looks good too, and look at that price for a pint. Just thought I'd tell you that. Simply reading about unlimited Wetherspoon's "cappuccino" had be running to the loo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd quite enjoyed it but I can see now that I was wrong and it was actually rather disappointing. I'm not going there again. What we need on the island is a Wetherspoons etc... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No breakfast is complete without hash browns, a 'potato favourite' especially on the Isle of Man apparently: Disgruntled customer threw cutlery holder at McDonald's staff member when he discovered he hadn't been given a hash brown Don't get me wrong, I love a good hash brown (or rosti, or potato cake) but is it English? Around Stoke you can get a fry-up (with cheese) wrapped up in an oatcake, which is kind of like a pancake or tortilla. They're amazing, makes we want to find an excuse to visit the Midlands again. Angry Manx Maccies man is quite funny though! "Duncan said ’get me my ****ing hash brown’ before reaching in through the window and grabbing a cutlery holder which he then threw at the staff member with it hitting him in the head."

x-in-man Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 It has rather gone down a bit. We stopped off the other morning as we were free and didn't have to do anything special. One serving, long wait for food (40mins), slob of a bloke throwing plates on the tables and grunting 'enjoy' through gritted teeth. It wasn't even busy. A couple of builders, grannies with the grand kids and a couple who piled salt on everything. We did think at one point that they were waiting to see if you buy another tea/coffee before they bring out the food - because what they give you at the till is invariable cold, or finished by the time a cooked breakfast comes out. Used to be a pleasure, lovely staff and great hot produce - on a hot plate. That's gone now. I'll rather just stay at home and have a slice of toast and save my cash for somewhere that gives a shit. They obviously don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
