• Best pre match breakfast place

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 8:47 pm**

Over at the weekend with a few mates and haven't been local to the area for a while so out of the loop with where we should go for a good solid breakfast... Hoping somewhere central so we can stay near the round to avoid taxis etc after it.

Any recommendations would be welcomed

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 8:49 pm**

Wetherspoons (Boot) not bad and cheap, and you can't really get much more central.
A few cafes scattered about as well.

He is going to want a good breakfast.

I wouldn't touch a spoons for food on matchday. Far too busy and hit and miss.

Maybe the cafe near the old originals in the centre?

I would get the taxi and make sure you get a good brekky.

If you're over Padiham way.

ICARO lounge breakfasts are decent enough, and obviously in town

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 9:09 pm**

Or splash out and go to Crow Wood.
15 quid or so.

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 9:11 pm**

Colliers cafe… at the miners on plumbe st.

Best value brekky in town, no question.

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 9:12 pm**

JJs in the old Dugdale Arms, Burnley Golf Club or Inghams near the lights higher up from there

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 9:13 pm**

Nowt wrong with a spoons breakfast, you know exactly what you're gonna get and it won't cost an arm and a leg.

Heard great things but was unsure if they'd do it on a match day with an early kick off

Did you mean Towneley golf club?

JJ’s is ok, but only just. Massively overrated if you ask me - I’m aware you didn’t…

Inghams diner is good I’ll give you that.

Wanna eat at Spoons? Get a bag of nuts…. Everything else is damn near inedible.

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 9:20 pm**

Not had a full English but sausage/bacon butty from Brambles Cafe is good.

Honestly H, I would get a taxi to JJs/Crow wood/Inghams/Bistro at Towneley. Just looked at 1855 Bistro & Bar in Mechanics which is the BLC group, opens at 11am - could be a shout.

Woulda done JJs I reckon but we've to get from hotel out of town to town and hopefully have time to get a breaky in.

Brambles looks proper tbf and might be the winner.

Yes sorry, meant Towneley Golf Club

Brambles in town , best value for a really good full English

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 9:29 pm**

If you want a proper full English that doesn’t cost the earth and you wanna feel like you’re in a proper Cafe that should still have the foil ash trays on the tables then get to Brambles

Central and staff are lovely people

If you want to swerve a beans in teacups style breakfast, I'll suggest the Bullring cafe on Standish street. Seating is a bit tight, so it depends on how big your group is.

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 10:17 pm**

The cafe in the market does the best full English.

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 10:26 pm**

One vote for The Prairie - maybe a bit too far out for you though.

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 10:39 pm**

What is the breakfast like in the Miners?

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 10:45 pm**

Best brekky in Burnley is Sycamore Farm but as you're after eating in town this wont be any good for you. I've heard the catering in the ground has improved a lot this season so one option is to just get some food at the game

You won't be too popular if they take that advice.

Very good, better than the likes of JJs and other places mentioned on this thread.

Posted: **Mon Sep 30, 2024 11:26 pm**

Not in town so of no use to the OP whatsoever, but breakfasts at Loom Loft in Barrow are consistently superb.

If you're eating in the bar area then providing you dont wear it back to front you'll be good but if you want to eat in the fine dining area then you'll need to take your cap off and tuck in your shirt

Perfect, its a bit out of the way but looks like the perfect option.

Thanks again... Just need to remember to get some cash out so I can sample the delights at the ground too.

The food on the ground is awful and very expensive
This is just a wind up in case you haven’t realised

If you don’t get the breakfast and need to resort to a pie get one from Haffners

Posted: **Tue Oct 01, 2024 8:26 am**

Good lord, some terrible suggestions in this thread.

Might be better if OP provides a rough budget. You wanna spend a fiver or fifteen quid?

Posted: **Tue Oct 01, 2024 8:34 am**

Try the mexican taco place (yes it does a full english) place at the top of St James opposite mcdonalds, decent breakfast.

the problem with a lot of the suggestions in the town centre is that they serve cheap crap, which is the target market.

i cant stand a frozen, low meat content horrible sausage and wafter thin bacon. needs to be decent.

i wont order Sausages in a butty shop/cafe unless i can see them raw first.

Posted: **Tue Oct 01, 2024 8:56 am**

The New Waggoners for us.

Hop on a flight to Belfast , treat yourself to an Ulster fry and you will not need to worry about lunch or dinner that day .

Posted: **Tue Oct 01, 2024 9:59 am**

Without a doubt the Lounge at Crow Wood - plus you can get a beer after 10am too...

Taxi from anywhere near the town centre is £4-£5 - well worth it.

Posted: **Tue Oct 01, 2024 10:13 am**

Another shout out for Brambles,cracking full English and for the price its unbeatable imo

I love Crow Wood breakfasts, I do suspect that's not what he's looking for though and he'd prefer a café type breakfast rather than a restaurant.

Scoot down to Haffners Butchers and sample some pies. It's not a breakfast but I could eat them morning, noon and night. Meat and potato followed by mince and onion. Then a cheeky pork if you can fit it in, which I always can

Posted: **Tue Oct 01, 2024 10:50 am**

Even better if you can get up to the factory in Burnleywood. I live in the Midlands but I really miss that

Crow Wood is almost certainly the best 'proper' breakfast you'll get within a couple of miles of the ground. It's not cheap, but the ingredients and service are bang on.
However, the OP's comments decrying beans in a ramekin sets the bar at a Spoons/Richmond sausage affair. Most places that take care over quality produce and presentation will use a ramekin.
JJ's/Dugdale is an average mid-level full English breakfast.
Icaro Lounge do some superb skillet breakfasts, but I suspect these will struggle to pass the entry requirements in this instance.
There's always the option of sneaking into the Holiday Inn Express

Wouldn't be an issue for me as I don't believe baked beans play any part in a full English.
