£45 Savoy Full English Prompts Online Backlash

A viral Reddit post has become a test of what diners consider fair value at a five‑star hotel breakfast.

Overview

  • UK outlets on Wednesday highlighted a Reddit post from a hotel guest who said The Savoy charged £45 for a full English breakfast.
  • The plate in the photo showed one sausage, two fried eggs, bacon, beans, a grilled tomato, a large mushroom and two hash browns, plus coffee, orange juice, sourdough and a pains au chocolat.
  • The diner called the meal pretty good, saying the sausage was a little dry and the tomato undercooked, and he compared it with nearby Simpsons at £28.
  • Most Reddit comments attacked the cost as excessive, though some said the price fits a luxury venue where standard rooms can cost about £500 a night.
  • MyLondon and the Mirror reported they asked The Savoy for comment, with no response included in their stories.
