Eating a FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST in a BEAUTIFUL TOWN in the COTSWOLDS! 

As always Gary another great review,I love your format. The only trouble is, no matter if I've just eaten, your videos always make me go to raiding the fridge😂 Keep up the good work.

Bloody hell Gary it looks like they served you the Half English! 😂

In my opinion, outside of the egg, serving 1 of any ingredient on a "Full" breakfast is just penny pinching. The quality would have to be seriously next level to excuse it.

I would have left hungry Gary, I need two of everything😊 it's either quality or quantity, wouldn't mind paying for both. I knew it was a quality cafe when I saw the Irish butter😂

Lovely part of the world that mate,very ‘English’…..as for the breakfast,they could’ve put that on your saucer!!

WOOO! Your Friday uploads are me and my girlfriends favourite 😊

Personally, I think the cafe is taking a massive advantage of its location as most of their trade is probably from foreign visitors. I'd score it a 4, and that's before you even took a bite and still stand by it after watching 😅

Good morning. The Cotswolds are a lovely part of the world. When I go back to the UK I will have to treat you and your trusty cameraman to an Aussie brunch and coffee.

Even at 8.95 an extra egg or a hash brown would have been a fair shout.

The breakfast looked a bit small for the price but cooked ok. I thought the beans looked the cheap type. Tea ok x2 so price ok. I thought the breakfasts you have had in London were far better. Anyway interesting getting around the country samplings the delights and taking us along

At least you got plenty of toast to soak up the slop on the plate. Theirs a reason it was £9 in that part of the country and that would have set the alarm bells ringing for me.

Hi Gary, The Old Mill seems to be run of the mill, not the best, but not the worst. The overall serving seemed to be on the small side, so using smaller plates might be the trick here . Beans looked runny, the sausage didn't do itself any favours looks-wise, but looks can be deceiving, so a bonus. Thought the tea looked a bit transparent when you began to pour, but that redeemed itself too. Nice part of the world, great review as always.

Beans is beans. Toast is toast!😂

The beans looked nasty u could tell the had been microwaved in that ramekin i like my beans done on the hob they cook instead of feeling like bullets Great vlog Gary

Wow Gary,that chip in the bean bowl 😢😢 no excuse!! The phrase "full English " should in my mind be like the "Ark" two by two ✌ Eating with the eye 👁‍🗨 leaves me shaking my head. Good food should be treated with respect, on looks 5 out of 10 ,your word that it was tasty, i'll take 😊Have you thought about a second channel? Give CTP a break,sort of a walk on the wild side,travels with my camera 📸 just a thought😂❤😊Allan&Family

Good luck with your RU-vid channel. Just subscribed

the knife cleanse in the toast is such a pro move. nice work Gary

thanks gary have to sat that was one small breakfazst i would have stuck the egg and bacon in the toast and made some sarnies can not beat a greasy spoon cafe imho should have made the camfaman eat the beans mate they sounded rank i thought that tea looked well weak another enjoyable watch my uncle ted was a butcer wish hw was still alive i would have sent you some of his sausages they was amazing everyone said so be lucky and thanks to the cameraman steve

Thanks Gary - are we finding many bargains outside London, I don’t think so…. I did tell you, lol

Give me another egg and that’s my perfect weekend breakfast! Thanks for sharing .

Apart from the Mrs. having a barney in the background, it looks good.. price wise. One mince pie in NZ cost that much. So, to me, this was value. Disability friendly too.❤❤❤ Best to yourself and hungry cameraman. Hope he got to eat well too. 🥰🍽🍹Thank you Gary, for another lovely review!

Small breakfast but as long as it’s cooked well and you enjoy it that’s the main thing

Evening Gary👍cracking location, seemed like a fair price but we're all different and quirky in our own way, I love mushrooms on a breakfast but hate black pudding, I can't stand beans in a pot, especially a chipped one(a bit weird maybe) 🤣I thought the sausage was overdone but you ate it you should know, that egg looked tiny but well cooked so all in all apart from watery catering tin beans it wasn't bad. Great review and the weather held up for you as well, cheers mate ✌️🍻

Small but quality ingredients by the look of it. Loving the look of the sausage...and black pudding for the win; looks like they have a good supplier. Beans are a meh for me, unless a feature :) Nice to see some decent toast and butter. Buttie time! I think two eggs would have been sweet, but the fact that it had good colur makes up. Not bad value, but not great either. I suppose you take your choice on quality or quantity. I agree on a 7.5 :) Just from the visuals and your comments. Nice one Gary.

Hi there Gary. Another quality video. My mum was a chef, and ,she taught myself and my brother how to cook from a young age. All of my family are from the North East, and the family was very traditional. Anyway, my favourite meal I cook for myself and my partner Sandra, is liver ,bacon, fresh vine toms into a large Yorkshire pud. I also put a small amount of Marmite into the gravy. Obviously, that's personal preference. 😂

Looks pretty sparse mate. 😲

Sorry Gary, but I would of returned that pot of beans for an un-chipped one, it could of been chipped when putting your beans in, and chipped teeth cost a lot to repair! If I was hungry, I would of been dissapointed with the meal you got, why do these places only give half a tomato? I like breakfasts in twos, so 2 sausages and two eggs, would of been value for money then, and of course your enemy the mushroom/s. Would prefer some fried bread and hash browns rather than toast, but that's me! The Cotswold's is a lovely place to visit, but can't say I would go to that particular establishment! What you said at the end of the vid about other items on the menu being tried, that might change my mind! Another class vid and nearly 6000 already, keep it up sir!

Gary I never realised you asked for a children's portion?🤔🤣🤣🤣..It did look nice though, I think 7/10 was the correct score. Ty for sharing sharing 🎉🎉

Yeawww , I was going too stand up for the cafe after reading the comments but not seeing the full review, but in all honesty the “ people where right “ it was a sad plate of food , and a full English should indeed be the full Monty , bless you Gary your so polite in your reviews, you where truly struggling too find something positive too say , a real gentleman indeed , they best charge more and give more or don’t bother , hope you come home too your brethren in the South before you start chanting uncontrollably “ E by Gum Chip Butty , E up lad “ .

Gary for your next breakfast please please please get yourself to cente cafe rowfant in crawley down. I’m in the building game been to hundreads of cafes, this is by far the best breakfast I have ever had.

Love the videos Gary!! Keep them coming.

What an incredible video presentation! -- "Every setback carries a valuable lesson within.."

Gary, here in the USA, at least where I live, it's very difficult to find British Back Bacon. Another thing I've noticed and like about your videos (as well as some other British YTers) is that the restaurants and cafes you review all seem to do an outstanding job of getting the poached eggs perfectly done. (I wish I could say the same about my own 🙂). Here in the northeastern US, when one asks for potatoes w/breakfast, they are generally fried but not deep fried like those in your videos. I also have never been able to find Cumberland sausages like those you show. Another hunger inducing chapter! Well done, as always. Thank you.

thanks Gary. i shall sit down tonight while I'm having my egg and chips, and watch you having your FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST .. 😋👍👍👍

That plate was quite empty, mate! Even though all the produce were very high quality, I would have expected a bit more. It's not enough to fill up a mouse with a hangover. On a bit more serious note, Gary, it's not always about quantity but quality. And in Chipping Norton you will find very high quality produce, it's locally sourced and usually done to perfection. The problem is that since Jeremy Clarkson started farming, it's almost impossible to find a place to park or eat when his farm shop or outdoors restaurant are open. It's a beautiful place and the produce is high quality! Another fantastic review, mate! Please keep up the fabulous work you and the cameraman/ camerawoman is doing. We'll stay in touch, mate! 👌❤️

Glad to see you are back on the breakfast trail. Love me a fry up !😂 £8.95 is a decent price considering the location but not a big enough portion. Tea looked nice. I think that the black pudding is overcooked , I like it soft in the middle retaining a bit of the red colour. Sausage looked lovely but the beans don't look like Heinz or Branston. All could have been improved with a fried slice. For me it's a 7 out of 10. Another fair review and a worthy addition to this series.

Surely the chef must of noticed that chip in the beans pot, terrible that. Lovely ingredients but very stingy on the portions, especially for the price. But yet again, as always another quality video 👍👍👍

My main bugbear with many modern breakfasts is the common addition of the hash brown. They're an absolute travesty perpetuated by people too lazy to do bubble. The Americanisation of British culture is getting worse, and the hash brown is an appalling example of that. A hash brown should automatically disqualify a breakfast from being a full English. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💪

Great Clip as always Gary, to which im going to score this one in three parts today if i may. Location absolutely amazing and very pretty, that's a 10. Service, and eatery a definite 10. As for the food i will stick with you at 7-1/2 for that one as when you make an effort to put a good quality sausage like pork and leek on the menu, then deep fry it, i think that's a shame. Keep them coming my friend. Chris.

Great content, Gary, as always! Thanks for another video. Just catching up with your other videos.

I really felt you were very accurate in the 7.5 and so honest as always too. It was above average (the sausage was great) but not substantial enough in terms of portion size. However if they could get a new beans supplier and give their customers two sausages it could be one to remember. As always a great review.

Excellent video 🎉

Gary, it's an illusion! The plate's just to big lol! Mind you the egg did look a bit lonely! If the beans had been on the plate with the toast on the side you may have not said anything?

Chipping Norton is beautiful, It was in the hotel there (Crown And Cushion) where I proposed to my fiancé and, when she's back in the U.K., we have another night there planned. Glad you enjoyed

Gary - a burst frazzled sausage is fantastic ! Lucky man

That looked so great. Good quality and value for money. Nice review

Hi Gary the cafe/Bistro looked good. I use to have a licenced cafe/ restaurant. We use to have queues on a Sunday morning going out the door down the road for our all English breakfast. It was cheap and well cooked by yours truly sometimes my partner and friend but not very often as she didn't really like doing a lot! Your plate looked a bit empty but egg looked just right as I like it. Bacon and sausage looked good and tomato and seperate beans which is a must. Hate black pudding and tinned tomatoes but you had fresh which is great. I didn't use to do black pudding but I did mushroom which I know is not your thing. My breakfasts were a lot cheaper than that about £3.50/£4.

Very good honest review Gary. If you venture into Wiltshire for full English and are in Calne then I would highly recommend "Infusions". It's a very unique small cafe. Run by a local family. Closed on Sunday and Monday

Afternoon Gary Your in my part of the world, I live down the road in Bicester, it’s a shame you couldn’t of got stuck into some Hook Norton , the breakfast didn’t look all that , but living in the catchment area of clarkson nothing is cheap

Hi Gary, I think 7.5/10 was a fair score for a fair breakfast. I saw nothing special there that would warrant a higher score. Thanks for the video, it was lovely to watch.

great review lovely place to visit quality food and very clean 10 out of 10

I would have been very disappointed with that breakfast and hungry! I think you were a bit generous with that one Gary x

Them sausage looked proper and tasty Gary ! You can tell a quality sausage by the look and gkad ut was as ut looked ! Not been up there for yesrs myself ! I like nice quaint places and oldie worldie places like Cotswolds and york ! Cheers again gaz and have a great weekend ! Soon be at 10 k subs ! Before xmas i hope ! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I know times are hard but that was a pretty meagre serving Gary. I think your rating was generous.

Breakfast looks lovely - i'm now hungry Ronnie Barker had an antique shop there x

Hi Gary I highly recommend you having a drive to the lovely little historic town of Stamford in Lincolnshire and going to the London Inn! They do an incredible breakfast! All very locally sourced products and ingredients for £10 and you get a very generous portion

Looks like a breakfast I would enjoy! I think the price was good! Pleased you have ventured outside London.Would have preferred Cornish butter!

Another honest and entertaining review. I think the sausage was deep-fried, hence the small 'explosion' at one end.

I think the Full English Breakfast should be just that. This one was pretty small for a full one. The sausage looked very tasty, but it doesn't compare to those London cafe plates although of course most times mushrooms are added. The Cotswolds are generally catering for a different customer, so bearing that in mind the price was actually not bad at all. Great content, and i see your channel is growing, i hope it continues.

Another fascinating review! I used to stop at Chipping Norton for afternoon tea on my way back to the FSC at Moreton-in-Marsh. Lovely place. Wasn't that where Ronnie Barker retired to (Had an antique shop?).

We really do enjoy your videos Gary. Really easy watching. Can I suggest you try our favourite for breakfast .. Cote on Eaton Bridge, Windsor. Fantastic breakfast, well priced, great service and surely one of the best locations to enjoy breakfast along side the Thames. You will not be disappointed.

damn hungry again after watching the vid😁...looks lovely

I think this tasted better than it looked because on first sight didn't look great. Chipped crockery isn't great but hey ho. Not a fan of pork and leek on a breakfast but price wise pretty reasonable. Certainly a 7/10. Another top upload

and if you're really unlucky, you'll bump into David Cameron and be put off your dinner

It's got a chip in the beans cause it's Chipping Norton of course 😉

Highly recommend bourton on the water, amazing village in the cotswolds, lots of nice pubs , cafes, etc.. It you try bakery on the water which the shop is called some really nice selection of pastries, breads, cakes and nice coffee and tea 👌👌

The free-range egg and location in the Cotswold makes the meal a little more expensive than normal. I think the price is reasonable. The Irish butter just adds to the quality.

Never quite sure how a cup of tea costs 20%of the cost of the breakfast. Excellent and very fair review, as always. Well done Gary.

Hello, congratulations...I'm Spanish and I have to tell you that I love how you do it...thank you

If you ever pop down to Somerset, there is a bistro just outside Wells which does fantastic food. They are called Hartleys Bistro. I`ve never had a bad meal. Great review by the way

Hi Gary that chipped dish would have probably knocked another couple of marks off for me.. i wouldnt even expect see that in a greasy spoon type caff. Next time youre up in the midlands theres a small chain of pubs you could try.. Parogon group. Its not like any other chain, only 9/10 places around staffordshire and shropshire and all have different menus. I've tried 5 of them and theyve all been brill.

Another enjoyable review Gary, if that was me I would of asked to of changed the beans with chipped pot, asked to do me another sausage as that was burnt at the end + the tomato was burnt to me as well + not charred! The portion size for that price should of had another sausage, and at least another egg imo! For me that isn't a solid 7 but a 5! This was for an adult not a kids breakfast lol

Another g8 review Gary, when I lived in Redditch me and my biker mates used to tour around the Cotswolds beautiful part of our Country, eaten in the very place you are reviewing and the home made specials are very good, and excellent value for money, shame about the chipped beans tub they need to pay more attention in future takes the edge off a good meal. Looking forward to more reviews next year hopefully.

There is no way you can taste a free ranged egg, an egg is an egg. Nice review Gary

Mel bistro is an old mill bistro everything in one it's got the pub and Bistro restaurant ideas for and lunchtime meals lunchtime meals normally start at 12:00

Yes Gary , brill review.

Wow! I grew up here, they’ve really done the Old Mill up

7.5 I knew it! Chipped crockery a definite let down. Thanks for the video!

State of that breakfast. Half plate is empty, catering beans, burnt tomatoes, anaemic bacon, one end sausage burnt, mushrooms? Cotswolds AONB they said, cha!

Looked a nice spot and id agree your score. From the look of it those were catering beans - which seems very at odds with the quality you reported on the other items. Price is aboyt right i suppose for such a location. That sausage looked very over done so was pleased to hear it wasnt.

Nice food nice video sticky toffee pudding worth the entrance fee for you Gary so all good

Give me quality than quantity any day! We live in a village not far from ‘Chippy’ and tried a lunch here - it was excellent!

I have watched all your vids and when you say two quid for a cup of tea is great value grates me! When in this world does a cup of tea cost that much? Maybe in your world, but not in mine or most other peoples!

Ronnie Barker owned an antique shop in Chipping Norton I believe. Not sure whereabouts. Been to "chippy" a few times when I was stationed at nearby RAF Brize Norton.

Looks good 😊

I agree with your comments, the beans and the sauce they were in looked very thin and reminded me of the catering beans you get in the cheaper low-end cafes. Price wise it was quite reasonable and the seating in general looked very good. A sincere review with a decent score.

Looks a nice breakfast at a fair price

Hi Gary, I've been watching your vlogs with interest. It seems most places resturants and pubs have cut back on their portion sizes since COVID. I no longer go out locally as the food is so expensive and not good quality either.

Exceptional but I’m biased when it comes to breakfast- I do like breakfast and would take place in my top five favourite meals 👌🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Cotswolds is a beautiful area !

Overall a bit underwhelmed by appearance and portion size. Beans not the best apparently. Score 7/10. Breakfast could be elevated to something better with a few minor tweeks I.e. for the price 2 sausage and 2 eggs. Growing up at home we always had fried onions, don't know why cafes don't try this as it really does evevate the breakfast and brilliant with sausage. Pot of tea already good value.

Love the Cotswolds Gary and the breakfast looked good, it would suit me as not over faced, but on the menu you could buy a bigger one if you wanted to. Personally, I’m not keen on flavoured sausages on a cooked breakfast, prefer plain and I would have asked for just one slice of toast. Cheers 👍

Hi Gary , I'm just a little way from Chipping Norton (In Banbury) a nice part of the country, as for the breakfast I think it looks a bit sad and I would be quite disappointed if that was served to me , especially at that price. But I am comparing it to the fry ups I do at home and I do go over the top a bit......

Enjoy your breakfast mate i lived in mortan in marsh you should visit x

You can forgive watery beans if everything else is great! Really good price and if you had good staff too Gary that is always a bonus!

Another great vid small but cheap for a tourist town. Never heard BP termed as creamy, like the marbaling myself.

Chipping Norton lived up to it's name with the chipped beans pot! Nasty. The food aside from the beans looked good. Best regards from Tassie.

All in all about right. 1 more sausage would have done it as the plate looked a tad empty.

Gary, I can't say i was over impressed with the food, partly because of my personal breakfast choices ive mentioned.. chipped pots is in excusable as well... i wasn't keen on the bacon either with all the gristle and fat, & as for quantity? Looked like a children's breakfast... 😂 I probably would have had a different breakfast, & you did say what others had ordered looked better... so you're score was probably fair mate, because of the restaurant, service & what you saw while there 👍 Enjoyed the vlog as always mate! Cheers 🍻

Would be fascinated to know what you think of the Bull in Charlbury, just down the road from Chippy Thanks, John Land

There's never enough butter in one pat for me, I'd want two per slice. Also I absolutely dislike beans on my breakfast anyway, so I'd have black pudding instead. I'd expect a bigger breakfast for that price! I'm so glad I'd just had my breakfast, otherwise I'd have been (as once before) ordering a takeaway breakfast! I'm betting lots of people do that after watching you 😂
