I have been told that the Radford bank inn are now doing an all you can eat breakfast between 8 and 11. The price is £4 i believe and its kind of carvery style where you are limited to the amount of meat but beans, toast and eggs etc are fair game. In fact i'm gonna go check it out right now. Damn it's 11.16am.

They seem to have lost that assistant that looked as though she needed steam cleaning! I'd skill them for that if I could.

Where is "Jocks Cafe"?

Down Rickerscote end, think it's Sidney Avenue or Exeter Street off Silkmore Lane. Never noticed the local signage TBH.
By the shops.

Breakfast voucher here, I think.

I used that voucher a couple of weeks ago when I went for breakfast with db and G-Unit.

A few things which you'd expect from a cooked breakfast in a buffet-stylee weren't available unless you paid more on top - like toast for an extra 79p and a small cup of average tea for 1.50 or something.

As standard you get one sausage and 2 rashers of bacon, then you can just dig into the hash browns, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, maybe some shrooms but I'm not a fan so can't remember, and baked beans with parsley sprinkled on them. Not sure what that was about. Black pud wasn't even an option...criminal.

Overall opinion: it was ok. I won't be rushing back though.

Going for breakfast with a couple of friends tomorrow and have been told that the Co-op cafe is well worth a try. Anybody able to confirm the quality...or otherwise?

We charge 60p for 2 slices of toast at our place,I know places have overheads etc,but i'd imagine the bread is subsidised,butter is npo stuff. Suppose I could list a few bits n bobs you'd get in a breakfast but normally it sets you back around £3.50. Tea's 70p. Coffee 80p and the fancy stuff (which I can't spell) is 90p.
If you want service with a smile,that's extra!

yeah, same conclusion for me.. defo not bad value, but the fact that no bread was included as standard (e.g. toast or, ideally, fried slice) was a big oversight..

hash browns were bob-on though, which are my favourite non-meat part of a brekkie :buddy:

Went to the Radford for breakfast yesterday (a Sunday), was £4.79 I think inc. tea or coffee or orange juice + toast, wasn't that busy. Breakfast is really good compared to the likes of Wetherspoons, there was probably about 15-20 people in there, but it's a big place so it's not going to look packed. If your going to go for breakfast its well worth going, however a few things tasted quite salty! 2 pieces of bacon, a sausage, egg (fried/scrambled), hash browns, beans, tomato's, mushrooms - good breakfast!

Funnily enough - I was in on the the same morning.

Again, could quality food which I couldn't fault. 2 bacon, 1 huge sausage (oo-er). Then feel free to pile everything up as much as you feel. Hashbrown, mushroom, fried and/or scrambled egg, tomatoes..

Small point, the guy did burn my toast initially however he did put some more on and bought it over to our table as soon as it was done. Oh and the fresh orange tasted a bit watered down.
