The good news is that this breakfast was partly a buffet, which is much preferable to having to order from a menu. That being said, the buffet part was limited: a few pastries, fruit salad and some jams and honey. No fresh fruit, no cheese (admittedly one in our party…
Given its relatively small size, this breakfast buffet nevertheless manages to offer a fairly wide choice. The warm dishes are more limited, comprising scrambled eggs, sausages, meatballs and waffles. But the cold offerings are certainly ample, various cold cuts, vegetables fruit, eggs, cereal, yoghurt etc. On the weaker side, only…
No buffet here either, of course. Still, a nice choice of hot and cold dishes and the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs were excellent. Tea only in bags, but that’s Britain for you. Honey appeared when asked for and a generous helping which is less usual. So a very nice…
Breakfast buffets have sadly not returned, at least not to Britain. Still, today is ‘Freedom Day’ (at least in England and who knows for how long?), so I’m hoping for the best. Meanwhile, in this really lovely hotel (a ‘restaurant with rooms’, actually), breakfast offers a fair choice of warm…
After more than a year, finally another breakfast buffet. I won’t say that the wait was worth it, but this is very nice. A good choice of bread and pastries, jams, honey and cold cuts, supplemented by smoked salmon. Nice salad bar, fruit selection and a choice of warm dishes.…
The hotel management is very covid-aware. You’ll find hand sanitizers everywhere and especially in the restaurant. The breakfast buffet is divided into two desks and the lines are well organised. The number of tables is reduced to create distance between guests. You can ask to be served at the table if…
Ok, it is a bit unfair to show some of the breakfast already eaten, but I forgot to take pictures beforehand. It certainly is difficult to judge a breakfast in these days of the COVID-19 pandemic. No buffet, just a set menu to choose from. That tends to skew both…
With the post-pandemic arrangements, there isn’t very much you can write about breakfasts, at least in Scotland. They are all pretty similar, you order at the table, either basic (toast, preserves et cetera) or the “full Scottish”. So the difference boils down to service. Today’s breakfast was a reasonable average,…
Unsurprisingly, another instance of having to order breakfast with no buffet. This is what we will have to get used to for some time. Again, a reasonable choice including the full cooked Scottish breakfast. On the slightly negative side, they brought you a cup of coffee or hot water for…
It is a new world in the post-pandemic era. One sadly missed feature is the breakfast buffet. That being said, the breakfast at The New Club was very pleasant. Substantial choice, including a ‘full Scottish’ cooked breakfast (which one of my companions chose), yoghurts, fruit, pastries et cetera. The service…
