Rise and Shine: Your Great Yarmouth Breakfast Adventure Begins!

There's nothing quite like a Full English breakfast to kickstart a day of seaside fun in Great Yarmouth. Whether you're planning a day at the Pleasure Beach, exploring the Norfolk Broads, or simply soaking up the sun on the beach, a delicious breakfast is essential. And as the team at the St George Hotel knows, finding the perfect fry-up is an art form!

Luckily, Great Yarmouth offers a plethora of options, from traditional cafes to modern eateries, all vying for the title of 'Best Full English'. We've done the hard work for you and compiled a list of our top recommendations, all easily accessible from the St George Hotel.

Our Top Picks for the Ultimate Full English:

1. The Courtyard Cafe (Regent Road): A local favourite, The Courtyard Cafe is known for its generous portions and friendly atmosphere. Their Full English is a classic combination of bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast. It's the perfect fuel for a day of exploring. Expect a bit of a queue during peak season, but trust us, it's worth the wait!

2. Cafe Ocean (Marine Parade): With stunning sea views, Cafe Ocean offers a Full English with a side of breathtaking scenery. Using locally sourced ingredients where possible, their breakfast is a step above the standard, with particularly tasty sausages and perfectly cooked eggs. A great option if you're heading straight to the beach after breakfast, being only a short walk from the St George Hotel.

3. The Smokehouse (Hall Quay): For a slightly more modern twist on the traditional Full English, The Smokehouse offers a smoked meat-centric breakfast that's sure to tantalize your taste buds. Think smoked bacon, chorizo sausage, and black pudding with a smoky flavour. It's a popular choice with locals and tourists alike. It is a bit further walk, but easily accessible via the town centre.

4. Sara's Tearooms (Market Place): If you are looking for a budget-friendly option then Sara's Tearooms is the best choice. They are well known for offering quality food at low prices. It is in the heart of the market, so a great way to soak up the local atmosphere. This is the traditional, no frills, Full English.

What Makes the Perfect Full English?

Everyone has their own idea of what constitutes the perfect Full English, but here are a few key ingredients that we think are essential:

  • Quality Ingredients: Locally sourced bacon and sausages are always a winner.
  • Perfectly Cooked Eggs: Whether you prefer them fried, poached, or scrambled, the eggs are a crucial component.
  • Crispy Bacon: No one wants soggy bacon!
  • Well-Seasoned Beans: The beans should be flavourful and not too watery.
  • Golden Brown Toast: Served with plenty of butter, of course.

Beyond the Full English: Other Breakfast Options

While we're huge fans of the Full English, we understand that it's not for everyone. Many places in Great Yarmouth also offer lighter breakfast options, such as:

  • Continental Breakfast: Pastries, croissants, fruit, and yogurt.
  • Pancakes: Sweet or savoury, pancakes are a delicious alternative.
  • Omelettes: Filled with your choice of ingredients.
  • Breakfast Sandwiches: Bacon, sausage, or egg sandwiches are a quick and easy option.
