2015: Alton Towers Enchanted Village

The breakfast in the UK should not be the same as continental Europe. Yes, I love hams, cheeses and breads at breakfast time when I am abroad, but in the UK for these prices - a hot cooked breakfast should be a minimum expectation. Even on Scout Camp there was always a hot breakfast...

If a hot breakfast isn't included then it will be appalling given the cost of staying there.
 
It certainly does seem like a serious oversight that even a small buffet counter hasn't been planned into the restaurant space.
 
I can tackle cold many things for breakfast on a morning, but cold cheese and meats before a theme park day out?

I'll pass on that thanks.
 
You'd be surprised how satisfying *GOOD* cold meats and cheeses are for breakfast!

I am not going to enter into any further discussion on this forum about how satisfying "good" cold meat is for breakfast
 
In all seriousness, it's a British thing to expect a cooked breakfast in the morning. It would be expected after paying £200+ that you could at least get something cooked to wake up to. When you're away on a trip it's kinda right to stuff yourself with something fatty and greasy. It's the best way to start a day when you're on holiday, on a trip or at a theme park.
 
But... but... warm meat feels so much nicer to have in your mouth in the morning.

*giggles*
I was going to like this post but I was concerned it may give the wrong impression hahahah!

On the other post it's totally a British thing! It's a tradition! Especially if you're only away for a day or two especially.
 
I quite like some ham on a bread roll for breakfast, it's quite refreshing and wakes you up more than a greasy fry up.

But I'd much rather have a fry up.
 
I like them, just I'm not fussed whether I have them or not. I am just as interested in the continental as I am the cooked. Especially if there's american style pancakes, muffins and stuff.
 
I'm perfectly fine with toast, cereal and coffee before a day at a theme park. It's meant to be an enchanted village, not an enchanted breakfast table :p

Do not try and suggest to me Danny boy that an enchanted village does not come with magic food!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to leave this here about thorpes shark "hotel"
 
Now look here - breakfast, in Britain is NOT cold meats, cheeses etc. we didnt fight the Germans in WW2 to have this foreign muck on our breakfast tables, oh no sireee, and as far as I am aware, we are not all walking around in stipey t-shirts, wearing berets and stinking of garlic speaking saying "bonjeur" to each other, no sireee - we are British, and British breakfast is COOKED!!! Sausage, Egg, Bacon, Squashy Tomatoes (or bakes beans), Mushrooms, Toast, with Coffee or Tea.

You want that foreign muck then stuff a garlic glove up your bum and jump on the ferry.

Rar rar rar (plays dam busters music while waving Union Jack flag)
 
But if thorpe can offer a hot buffet breakfast from a shipping container hotel it's not that hard to do
