Great Yarmouth's Best Full English Breakfast: A Local's Guide

Ah, the Full English. The cornerstone of any good British seaside holiday, and a must-have when you're visiting Great Yarmouth! But where do you find the absolute *best* Full English in town? As a local, and your friendly guide from the St George Hotel, I'm here to share my top picks for a breakfast that will set you up for a day of exploring.

Before we dive in, let's define what makes a truly great Full English. For me, it's all about quality ingredients. Think locally sourced sausages, crispy bacon, perfectly cooked eggs (poached, fried, or scrambled – your choice!), grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, and, of course, toast. Black pudding is a bonus!

My Top Picks for a Yarmouth Fry-Up

Here are some of my favourite spots, guaranteed to satisfy your Full English cravings:

  • The Courtyard Cafe: A popular choice with locals, The Courtyard Cafe is known for its generous portions and friendly service. Their sausages are particularly tasty, and they always have a good selection of newspapers to read while you enjoy your breakfast.
  • Sara's Tearooms: Located on the seafront, Sara's Tearooms offers stunning views alongside their delicious breakfasts. Their Full English is a classic, and their coffee is excellent too. Perfect for a relaxing start to the day.
  • The Troll Cart Wetherspoons: Ok, its a chain pub but its hard to argue with the value for money breakfast on offer here. Plus you can grab a cheeky pint later in the day if you fancy!
  • Breakers Cafe: Another seafront gem, Breakers Cafe is a great option for families. Their Full English is well-priced, and they have a range of options to suit all tastes. They are known for their thick cut bacon.

Don't Forget the Extras!

While the Full English is the star of the show, don't forget the all-important extras! A proper mug of tea or a strong coffee is essential, and a side of buttered toast is always welcome. Some cafes also offer variations on the Full English, such as vegetarian options or smaller portions for those with lighter appetites.
