The Garden Kitchen - Holden Clough Nursery

A return visit to Holden Clough as my last review was in July 2018.  Delighted to report that there are no changes - the Gardeners Breakfast (£8.50) is as magnificent as ever and comes with two slices of toast and tea or coffee with unlimited refills.  Unbeatable.

3 Peaks Cycle Shop & Cafe, Settle

A full English breakfast whilst sat inside a bike shop - my idea of heaven!  The only drawback was that the hardware was mainly mountain bike related, the road bikes being kept on an upper floor.  Still, the Giro d'Italia was on the nearby big screen and there was plenty of reading material in the form of component catalogues to peruse as we waited for the Yorkshire breakfast (£7.50 including tea) to arrive.

So, what it lacked in finesse it made up for in portion size - it took a determined assault to finish this one.  Whilst munching our way through the beast, we speculated on which of the mechanics had cooked it and how the job interview process went - "can you dissemble a bottom bracket in 5 minutes whilst poaching two eggs?"  This probably explains the somewhat freestyle arrangement of the plate. Tasted pretty good though!

Mo's Table, Holloway Road, Islington

I know what you are thinking, "Islington? Isn't that in London? I thought this was a blog about Yorkshire breakfasts..."
Well it is true, my idea was to sample all those eating establishments that were accessible by bike from Grassington.  However, on a recent visit to our capital city we stayed with my daughter and fellow Grassington Guzzler Sarah, who recommended this place just a few minutes walk away.  Reluctantly declining the use of her Brompton to cycle there, we enjoyed a full English for a remarkable £7.50.  It was so good I knew that it had to be included in my 100 greatest list - slightly smokey beans, fresh bread, beautifully poached eggs, crispy bacon, superb sausage and spicy mushroom....yum!
